On Top of Mt Kosciuszko 2228m

Mt Kosciuszko is Australia’s tallest peak at 2228m and one of the hardest names to remember how to spell. Good job I have my trusted spell checker/wife to correct me.

After a short drive to Thredbo Village, We caught the SIUKZOCKOS Express chairlift up to Eagles Nest to start our 13k return hike to the top. A bit windy on the way up but awesome blue sky and panoramic views of New South Wales and the Victorian Alps.

In winter, it’s the ski season here but during the summer alpine season, there are downhill mountain bike tracks running from the top of the chairlift. The Mountain bikers are kitted up like armadillos and don’t seem to care about brakes as they fly down the near vertical tracks.

Back at camp, I took my drone for its first real mission, to capture Thredbo Diggings and the magnificent Thredbo River. All good and landed the drone back at home base in one piece.
