After two seriously long days of travelling we’re now all set up in a nice ski resort at the bottom of Kosciuszko to go climbing first thing in the morning. The timing shouldnt be a problem as our bodies are on such strange time zones – we woke up this morning at 3am as if it was time to get up and ended up setting off early as neither of us could sleep anymore, and it felt like bedtime half way through the afternoon! We had a beautiful 6 hour drive from Sydney to Canberra and then on to Thredbo, with a short stop for shopping and lunch in the capital. We’ve witnessed most of Australias famous wildlife, but unfortunately almost all on the side of the road… But the countryside is breathtaking.
We’ve bought our lunch for tomorrow and can see our route from the window, but instead of the leisurely ski lift that could take you within 13km of the summit in not much time at all, we’re taking the far more tiring option of doing the alternative 4 hour walk up to that point. I’m not quite sure why that was the joint decision, I imagine it’ll seem very stupid by the time were half way through.
I will now be attempting to stay awake until a more reasonable bed time, and will update you with hopefully a summit photo tomorrow, although the weather looks as if it’s going to be a bit of a miserable day!
Ttfn 🙂
