Waitlist started.) A twelve (and-a-bit) day, 225km hi ke along the northern third of the Australian Alps Walking Track; Coveri ng this much ground will take us through a variety of environs, from the windswept Main Range to the grassy hills around Kiandra, to the caves a nd canyons of Blue Waterholes and the forests of Namadgi. We will need d rivers to drop us at Dead Horse Gap near Thredbo. Food drops will be pla ced at Kiandra prior to hike. Two spare days allow a delayed start in ca se of weather. Participants will need experience of multi-day pack hikes and a good understanding of what sort of distances and elevations they are capable of walking day after day. While I’ve tried to keep the dai ly distances to a manageable level, the compound effect of walking with a pack for twelve days is not to be underestimated. Once begun, there ar en’t a lot of opportunities to get off the track. Occasional fantastic views guaranteed.
