We will be doing a 4 day, 3 night walk in the Kosciuszko National Park.

Parking at Round Mountain car park, we will walk to O'Keefe's hut the first night, Climb Jagungal and head to Grey Mare Hut the second day. Day three is an easy day to Dershko's hut, and then day 4 back to Round Mountain car park.

You are welcome to bring younger walkers, you will just need to sign an acknowledgement of risks before we start. Just reach out when you book yourself in and I will get them registered.

You will need to be fit, well prepared, and ideally have had previous overnight bushwalking experience, and remember that this is an alpine environment, and below freezing temperatures and snow are both a possibility.
