AUSTRALIA - Kosciuszko NP - Charlottes Pass - january 2006

We wandered around the Charolotte's Pass (summer), following small tracks and walking down to the Snowy River. The weather wasn't the best as rain seemed close and it was very cold and windy. Therefore, we didn't wander far. Still, the views were excellent with the rolling clouds obscuring parts of the view at various times.

AUSTRALIA - Kosciuszko NP - Main Range Track and Summit Trail - HIKE - april 2005

This a very pretty and scenic 21 km walk. We started at Charolottes Pass and followed the well defined track towards Blue Lake lookout, crossing over the Snowy River and alpine herbs.

 

At Carruther's Peak, there were excellent views over the western ranges and lowlands. The track became rougher pasing Club Lake and Lake Albina. At Kosciuszko, we followed the road to the top of the mountain.

Descending Kosciuszko, the old road lead pass huts, rivers and vistas of the high ranges.

Time: full day
