We will be doing a 2 day, 1 night walk in the Kosciuszko National Park.

Parking at Round Mountain car park, day 1 will be a big day, 20 to 25 km, as we will walk past O'Keefes hut and climb Jagungal. If the weather is good, we will camp on the Jagungal saddle, if it is looking bad, we will need to walk further and camp at Dershkos. Be prepared for a dry camp, however, there is plenty of water at the base of Jagungal, so only 2.5km to carry it.

Day 2, we head back to the cars at Round Mountain car park via Dershkos hut, another 17.5 to 22 km, depending on where we camped.

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.
