Canberra alpinists hike across Kosciuszko region over holidays
Five Canberra Alpine Club members led by Andy Read undertook a Christmas trek through alpine country north east of Mount Kosciusko. They started after Christmas dinner by the Snowy River near Murryang Power Station, climbed White's River valley, reached Gungartan, moved along ridges to Mawaon’s Hut, then Grey Mare Range and Valentina Falls before looping back to Mt Kosciuszko. They continued to Mt Twynam via Hedley Tarn and Hive Lake, then descended toward Lake Albina and rejoined the road near Mt Kosciusko. The group stayed in small wooden huts once used for drovers summering cattle.
