AAWT Tharwa to Thredbo - 2016
Posted: Tue 15 Mar, 2016 12:36 pm
Not long back from completing this section with my partner over 19 days from 15/2 to 4/3.
Unlike our last AAWT in Victoria we experienced perfect weather throughout...warm, no rain but there is plenty of water along this section.
Did as many side trips as we could including Booroomba Rocks, Bimberi, Blue Waterholes, Broken Dam Hut, Tabletop, Brooks Hut, Mawsons Hut, Mt Gungartan, Valentine Falls, Jagungal, Mt Townsend, Rams Head Range. By my GPS we clocked up 300k+ with all the side trips.
I was originally planning for one food drop at Kiandra but in the end decided to follow a similar plan to our last trip and broke the journey up into 4x5 days with food drops at Blue Waterholes, Kiandra and Derschkos Hut near Jagungal...approx 60k between each drop. I used the bike to get a food drop out to Derschkos Hut on Round Mtn Trail.
This section was much easier than Victoria and mostly follows vehicle and fire trails with the exception of the Murrumbidgee area and after Whites River Hut across The Rolling Ground.
As time permits I'll start chipping away on a report...stay tuned...
