• Charlotte Pass Kosciuszko NP

    April 24 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 8 °C

    Drive here, and have to park along the side of the road with plenty of other vehicles. Then we get our backpacks (prepared with our food, water and requirements) and walk the 400m to the start of our summit walk. We both use the public toilets here, before we set off on our walk, smelliest loos I've been to in a long time (not pleasant)!.
    Sign tells us Mt Kosciuszko Summit Walk is 9.3 km one way (18.6km to return here) and to allow 3hrs 15mins to get to the summit (allow 6- 8 hours return).
    We are in luck with the weather - perfect to me -cool, calm and clear visibility! We start our walk at 8.15am and get back here at 12.15pm - wonderful walk!
    Once we get back - Roger braves the toilets here again - while I go for a look around at the nearby lookouts ,- so good. We have our cheese and vegemite sandwiches next.
    We walk back to our ute - so many more vehicles parked now. Drive back to Jindabyne to our accommodation - we do stop and look at the Jindabyne water tower on the way back.
