FRIDAY - MOUNTAIN COUNTRY

Well here we are comfortably settled at the Thredbo Diggings Campground on the banks of the Thredbo River a few kilometres from Thredbo. The togs and towels hanging on the back of the van are still drying from yesterday morning’s surf at South West Rocks. We won’t be doing any swimming here but the view from our campsite is very pleasant.

This afternoon we drove up to Charlotte Pass being one of the two spots from which one can do the Kosciusko walk. The photo is a shot taken of the peak of Kosciusko from about 10 kms away and you can just make out three people standing beside the monument at the top (at least I can in the magnified version).

Tomorrow we intend to do the walk from Thredo. The return trip is 12 kms rather than 20 kms from Charlotte Pass and you start from the top of the Thredbo chairlift so there is a lot less climbing to do.

The temperature is dropping. Time to put my jeans on.
