Friday 15 Apr 2022. Wragges Creek walk.
This was the introductory walk on our Easter weekend program.
Easy walking along a seldom-used vehicle track took us past a Snowy Mountains Council maintenance hut and a rather nice waterfall where we had lunch.
Saturday 16 Apr 2022. Perisher Valley discovery.
Steve and Tony led us on a circuit of some of the well-known locations at Perisher.
The tour took in Mt Perisher, Pretty Valley, North Perisher and Interceptor lifts. Most of us have been over these locations on skis, but it was a new perspective to traverse on foot.
Fabulous weather and great views contributed to a wonderful day’s walking.
Sunday 17 Apr 2022. Charlotte Pass - Guthega.
The group split up today, with some walking Charlotte Pass to Guthega, and some walking the other way.
Cool and windy conditions prevailed today, with most walkers opting for long trousers and jackets the whole time.
The two groups met briefly for lunch and then completed their journey.
NPWS has done a huge amount of work to provide new track at the Charlotte Pass end, and to improve the route from Guthega to Illawong. Significant lengths of raised steel deck and steel stairs help to protect the alpine environment from the large numbers of users.
Despite the brisk conditions it was a flawless day with blue skies and scudding clouds.
Monday 18 Apr 2022. Porcupine Rocks loop.
Cool conditions accompanied a group of 16 to Porcupine Rocks. This well-used track provided some excellent views from the top.
The group broke in two for the return to the lodge, with four members retracing their steps and the remainder following snow poles across country to the coffee shop at the bottom of the Eyre T-Bar.
