Stretched our legs under this old rail bridge with its corrugated iron sheep decorations.
I love these old railway bridges. Wonderful noises when trains go across (if line is still active) [Kathy]

Camped under the poplar trees at the NRMA campground on the shores of Lake Jindabyne - very picturesque spot with the Banjo Paterson parkway running between the park and the lake. After steakWeiterlesen
Are you turning off at Alpine Way through Perisher and Thredbo or staying on highway until you hit VIC? [Kathy]

Jindabyne

Campsite
4.–7. Feb. 2024 in Australien ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
A lot of campers have bugged out today, we are now in a section of the camping area to ourselves. Went down to the “pond” to collect some showering water then walked to the other side of the bendWeiterlesen
Cooler day
5. Februar 2024 in Australien ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
Last night we put up all our canvas walls - the rain came but only briefly. Very overcast this morning with sprinkling rain so we put up the walls to protect the access ladder to the rooftop tent. NowWeiterlesen

I did look out but it may be too rocky, nowhere to burrow - but they are elusive little things!
Overnight in Jindabyne

After the rain stopped we packed up and back on to Guthega Rd, then Kosciusko Rd back to Jindabyne for lunch and shopping. We had to buy some new walking shoes for Charlie, so as the day was gettingWeiterlesen

A couple of kms on we found a perfect overnight spot (5kms from the border) - not a marked campsite, but right on the Snowy River with a little beach area. Took our Coolcabana down to the beach for aWeiterlesen

ReisenderThere are so many great huts in the Victorian Highlands......that's where I did my 5 day hike, starting at Lovett's Hut.....may not be near you, but we looked to our left to Mt Bulla as we were walking along a ridge.
ReisenderDo you mean Lovicks Hut? Not near us, we’re on the Bogong Plains Rd which leads to Falls Creek. This time of year would be good for your hike.

Hamilton Gap

Hamilton Gap is on Suggan Buggan Rd - a narrow, winding, steep gravel single lane road, and a bit scary. Signs indicate to use our UHF radio to check for oncoming vehicles, fortunately the road wasWeiterlesen
