Jindabyne – Mount Kosciuszko

Had a quiet day catching up on stuff and resting. It was cooler, at least for the morning. Enjoyed a quiet swim in the lake before heading off. Only got 9kms from town and landed upon Wildbrumby Distillery. Stopped for a lovely light lunch and interesting german beers and schnaps in a lovely sculptured art covered garden.

It was really pleasant and we found a lovely horse for Bree – no feeding required and should fit in her spare room…

Arty Horse or is it Horsey Art?

Onwards and upwards we hit the hills. We then entered the yellow road marked section of the mountains. Not sure if this is where you have to wear chains on your vehicle during winter, or if its part of the National Parks areas that you have to pay to enter. We hit the toll booth and said we were travelling through so we got a free daypass. We weren’t permitted to stop in Thredbo. So when we arrived at Thredbo, we drove through it, ignoring the sign that said we had to have a pass to drive through. We did notice the magnificent road work now done to rectify the Diver death that occurred all those years ago from the landslide. You can see how fragile it must have been. A lot of money has been spent on this work. I guess that’s why there is such a fee to access the park.

Mount Kisciuszko

We headed on further up the road. When the power of the car dwindled we decided we needed to stop and let the engine cool. We spent the night overlooking Mount Kosciuszko bedside the road. It was really quiet and peaceful.
