Blue skies in Thredbo after 3 days of snow - in February! |
 |
 |
 |
White-out conditions, 2 hours after starting up Mt
Kosiuszko. |
 |
 |
 |
And it only got worse! |
 |
|
 |
Forget the Main Range route for this trip. |
|
|

Finally, some blue skies near the Snowy River headwaters. |
|

Kiandra. |
|
|
 |
Tantangara Creek crossing |
|
|
 |
Witses Hut is drafty, but it would provide
welcome shelter in bad weather! |
|
|
 |
The second crossing of Tantangara Creek
requires good balance. |
|
|
 |
Lyn opts for the boots off approach. |
|
|
 |
It's the only option available for crossing
the infant Murrumbidgee River. |
|
|
 |
There is no track between the Murrumbidgee
River and Port Phillip Fire Trail. |
|
|
 |

The descent from Mt Tennent is long and
tiring. |
|
|
 |
We finally made it to Tharwa Visitor Centre,
44 days and 14 food drops after starting our walk! |
