KOSCIUSZKO NATIONAL PARK – 14 – 17 April 2017
Thredbo > Crackenback > Mt Kosciuszko > Wilkinson Valley > Strzelecki Creek > Charlottes Pass > Rawson’s Pass > Thredbo

BLUE MOUNTAINS – March 19, 2017
After 290mm+ rain over five days, a trip up to the Blue Mountains to check out the waterfalls seemed like a good idea.  My proposed decadence walk to Kanangra was washed out so David S suggested that we go for a drive on Sunday to look at Wentworth Falls.  We picked Johan up on the way.  Continue reading →
