Two milestones today; MB turned 43 and walked to the summit of Australia's highest mountain.The digicam ran out of battery after only one photo on the trail, godammit. The walk is amazingly comfortable, you catch a chairlift at Thredbo which takes you up the steep part and then there is a wonderful wide track made of raised metal grating. The 13km round trip to the summit takes 4 hours. There's even a portaloo about 1.5km from the summit!
Warmish day, strong headwind walking up, and a tailwind on the way down. The cold wind froze MB's ears and she had to use her overshirt as a scarf to hold her hat brim over her ears, so that she resembled an asian fishwife. MB did a search for some more photos taken on the trail but could only find this funny post about the same walk, from a Taiwanese blogger, poor chappie didn't know about the chairlift. http://taycheemeng.blogspot.com/2005/06/mount-kosciuszko.html
