    Gotta love an Australian Alpine Series & Dons story telling abilities are wonderful. Love walking through the fog though & that looked fantastic!

      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! 😂😂

      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!

    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!

      Hey, thanks for putting that together! It was over the Easter break and I started on April 2nd

    2 questions:
    - How much (%) of that walk is on firebreak/maintenance vehicle tracks?
    - How much water do you typically carry?

      @@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
