Mt Kosciusko trek.

 Jindabyne to Charlottes Pass by car. Bike ride to Rawson's Pass, then 1.67km hike to the top.
 We made it to the second bridge on the Snowy River.The air is cool and wind jackets and warm clothes are needed.




 Harry pushes up the last steep section. Who loves the Gong?
 A much needed rest break -toilets at the top. Phew!!!!!
 Bikes are left here.
 The final trail - distances are very deceiving.
 Nearly there Jackson - Keep going buddy.
 The trail surface to prevent erosion, looks like fish scales.
 A unique landscape. Rocks piled up top of each other.
 Are our bikes Ok down there?
 On top of Australia. 
 Harry loves the gong.




 The return trip, the reward for hard work.Look at the happy faces.



 Seamans Hut. These huts are used for emergency accomodation during storms. We left our warm clothes in the hut whilst finishing our ascent in the heat.

I bet that downhill ride was the best part! Looks like an awesome trek. What's happened to Richards hair? Doesn't look like the altitude has agreed with him,lol.
