Snowy Mountains

In April we had an extra-long long-weekend combining Easter and Anzac day. This gave us 5 days to go and explore. We headed into the Snowy Mountains with a small groups of friends. The trip took us from Sydney via Canberra and Jindabyne into Kosciuszko National Park. From there we crossed the Murray River into Alpine National Park in Victoria. The trails and tracks took us up to Khancoban and Cabramurra back in the direction of Canberra. Temperatures ranged from 0 to 25 degrees, so at night we definitely needed a campfire to keep warm.

Birdsville and Beyond - day 13

A very very cold night, a quick pack up and we said goodbye to our travel companions to head back to Sydney.
A heard of sheep almost didn't want to let us leave.

We took a coffee and cake stop along the way in our favorite place in Leura in the Blue Mountains.

Then via the car-wash back home.

Birdsville and Beyond - day 12

Chilly morning but after pancakes and packing up the sun warmed everything up nicely. Through inland roads and tracks we're slowly heading south. The tracks were very muddy, making the car all red again.

After lunch we decided to head for the historic town of Hill End, a spot where some of the others have been before. A nice place on the Turon River.
