Thank you! Yeah, I’ve used enough Chapman books to know he counts walking time as if you’re a relentless machine who allows no time for breaks and smelling the flowers!
@@MeasuredLight thanks for watching! It’s a really beautiful area and I’m looking forward to coming back to do more High Country hiking in the near future.
Thanks, enjoyed that. Just wondering when you walked this? I came through (going the other way) at the end of March. That seat you sat on in 4 Mile Hut - I put that together, and I'm surprised it's still standing!
@@luket6334 it’s almost 100% of the official Kiandra to Kosciuszko section. I really am not a fan of vehicle track walking in principle but it is a lot less objectionable here as it is a wilderness area so you don’t really see beyond the nature of the national park. Water was very plentiful except for one stretch as a usual water source was dry. Usually I carry two litres but that day I should have refilled at a flowing creek before camp. All other days I could probably have not carried too much as there were constant refill locations
Gotta love an Australian Alpine Series & Dons story telling abilities are wonderful. Love walking through the fog though & that looked fantastic!
I’m glad you are enjoying the walk Don😀 the Alps are my backyard and I always appreciate seeing them through other walkers eyes👍❤️
It was a good walk. The middle two days in the next episode were my favourites, spectacular scenery
Great video. John Chapman Time was gold! 😂😂

Great video! That is a beautiful area that I am hoping to get to next year. Really enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing!

Hey, thanks for putting that together! It was over the Easter break and I started on April 2nd
Just found you! ;) Great video!
Thanks for watching, it was a nice hike. Just saw you did an adventure on the Snowy River, will check it out!
@@thelongwaysbetter thank you! Didn't go according to plan, but still had a great time!
@@SamClarkPhotographerAdventurer this one didn’t go perfectly either… as you may see in the last video of the series
@@thelongwaysbetter I will check it out.
2 questions:
- How much (%) of that walk is on firebreak/maintenance vehicle tracks?
- How much water do you typically carry?
