I’ve wanted to complete this walk for a while. It opened in March 2024 and is recommended as a two-day walk. With a total distance of 19km, we decided to try it as a day walk. Just to wet our appetite, we wandered down from camp and had a look around the Scenic World section on the Monday evening.
Thursday 18/09/2025 Charlotte Pass Village – Charlotte Pass – Kosciuszko Road – Snowy River – Merrits Creek – Kosciuszko Road
Kosciuszko National Park, NSW
Ngarigo Country
Participants: Jean Cane, George Copeland, Stephen Davies (Photos, Report), Sue Davies, Keith Tarlo, John Terrell, David Whittle, Peter Whittle
Based on a drenching of 150mm of rain over recent days and subzero temperatures overnight, I decided to try to minimise probable exposure to icy conditions for my trip today. With a sunny day forecast, our best bet seemed to be to keep out in the open, away from the shade of trees – a scenic tour along the Snowy River would be a nice way to start.

Participants: Jean Cane, Stephen Davies (Photos, Report), Sue Davies (Report), Simon G, John Michan, Anita Ullman, Naomi Ullman
After 150mm of rain over the last 36 hours, we woke to a solid cloud cover, which was forecast to clear around midday. It was now a -6°C apparent temperature with a light top-up of snow, but still very windy. A lower elevation trip amongst the trees seemed appropriate.
Monday 15/09/2025 Charlotte Pass Village – Charlotte Pass – Kosciuszko Road – Snowy River – Lake Albina
Kosciuszko National Park, NSW
Ngarigo Country
Participants: Stephen Davies (Photos, Report), Sue Davies
This morning, I offered to lead a trip to Lake Albina. This was one of about six trips that materialised over breakfast. It would only be Sue and I who went in the end, as most other people hadn’t skied for ages and thought it might be too far for their first day, or expected it might be too exposed to some strong wind that was in the forecast.

After months of research, planning and preparation, Damien and I were finally ready to tackle the AAWT. With my wife, Sue, acting as our support person, we set off early on Tuesday, 1/04/2025, for a 5-hour drive to Kiandra to stash what would be our second food drop. From here, we had a one-hour drive along the gravel Tantangara and Pocket Saddle Roads to Gurrangorambla Creek to stash our first food drop. Another hour drive saw us at Alpine Tourist Park, Adaminaby, setting up our tents for the night. Sue and I would be trying out my new Durston X-Mid Pro 2 Dyneema tent, a 510g tent bought just for the AAWT. Our pub dinner was one to forget.

Kosciuszko National Park, NSW
Ngarigo Country
Participants: Beth Davies, Stephen Davies (Photos, Report), Sue Davies, Pablo Urena Vega
Now on our way to Tasmania, a side trip to visit our Jindabyne family gave us the opportunity to go on a local walk today. Beth suggested Charlotte Pass to Perisher Valley but settled for the reverse when I suggested we keep the sun at our back. So, after dropping one car off at Charlotte Pass Village we drove back to Perisher Valley, leaving the second car in front of the Ski Tube Terminal, as there were work-related closures at the track head.
