Well we are in Thredbo and I am ready to begin the journey tomorrow (I think). Today, Kath, her sister Carolyn and I drove to Thredbo from Mum and Dad’s place in Binalong. We drove via Towong, which is the town near where I will be finishing the bike leg of the trip and where …
It is only 3 days until we head down to the Snowy Mountains to start the adventure. I plan to hike off the top of Mt. Kosciouszko on Monday and then will be riding along the top of river for about 4 days. I should be starting the paddle around Saturday next week. Just keeping …
