CAMP OVEN COOKING IN AUSTRALIA (COCIAź)
WITH 'THE CAMP OVEN COOK' - DEREK BULLOCK
THE WALK TO THE SUMMIT
It has been a dream to walk to the top of Mount Kosciuszko, the highest mountain in Australia, for many years.
I did it in 2007 and here are a few of the photos
Eighteen kilometres round trip. I didnt think I would make it
Looking from the carpark towards the Summit
Beautiful snow gums at the beginning of the walk
Snow country in summer
The track winds along at a steady increase in height
It is somewhat of a moonscape the closer you get to the Summit
Not far from the beginnings of the infamous trout stream, the Snowy River
Seamans Hut built years ago as a haven for people caught out in blizzards. This is about halfway to the Summit
Wood stacked inside the hut ready for a warming fire
The pot belly stove to heat the hut. Matches and kindling are left for the weary
You cannot get any higher than this in Australia. Standing on top of Mount Kosciuszko
