Rennix Walk – Boggy Plain Creek – Rams Head Range – Snowy Hydro radio reflector 

Thursday 10/12/2020   Rennix Walk, Boggy Plain Creek, Rams Head Range, Snowy Hydro radio reflector                                       

                                           Kosciuszko National Park, NSW

                                           Ngarigo country

Participants: Stephen Davies (Photos, Report), Sue Davies

Rennix Walk crosses Sawpit Creek which is just beyond the car park at Rennix Gap. Then it follows Boggy Plain Creek upstream to the north for about 1km. Along this section, we observed a multitude of wildflowers in bloom. Moving away from these boggy meadows onto the ridge the track gently meanders over a series of 30m high bumps through subalpine meadows, snow gum woodlands and open plains.

Rainbow Lake Walking Track – Rainbow Lake

Thursday 10/12/2020   Rainbow Lake Walking Track – Rainbow Lake                                     

                                           Kosciuszko National Park, NSW

                                           Ngarigo country

Participants: Stephen Davies (Photos, Report), Sue Davies

To fill out our day after completing the Rennix Walk we moved on to the nearby, short Rainbow Lake Walking Track. We were a little curious as to what we might find having previously driven straight past so often on the way to Charlotte Pass or Perisher Valley.

Guthega Power Station – Schlink Pass Road – Horse Camp Hut

Friday 11/12/2020   Guthega Power Station – Munyang Geehi Road (Schlink Pass Road) – Horse Camp Hut

                                     Kosciuszko National Park, NSW

                                     Ngarigo country

Participants: Stephen Davies (Photos, Report), Sue Davies

Our last walk in Kosciuszko National Park for this trip needed to be fairly short in order to catch up with some High School friends in Canberra later today. Having camped at Island Bend meant a walk up Schlink Pass Road from Guthega Power Station, which we have frequently travelled in winter, might be a nice option to see without snow cover. It would also provide an opportunity to investigate alternative routes.

The Main Range Track

Wednesday 9/12/2020   Charlotte Pass – Foremans Crossing – Carruthers Peak – Mount Lee – Northcote Pass – Muellers Pass –  Mount Kosciuszko – Rawson Pass – Seamans Hut

                                              Kosciuszko National Park, NSW

                                              Ngarigo country

Participants: Stephen Davies (Photos), Sue Davies (Report)

A short walking trip away from home before the summer school holidays commence, tied in with a more luxurious retreat for our 33rd wedding anniversary saw us heading off to Kosciuszko National Park again. We had delayed our departure to arrive after a cold wintery change charged through the region with subzero temperatures and snowfalls. Snow was clearly visible across the peaks from before Jindabyne. Certainly not unheard of but unusual for December.

Broulee Island Nature Reserve

Sunday 13/12/2020   Broulee Island Nature Reserve

                                       Broulee, NSW

                                      Yuin country

Participants: Stephen Davies (Photos, Report), Sue Davies

After an enjoyable overnight farmstay on the edge of Moruya we spent some time driving around the beautiful nearby coast looking for some walking opportunities. Initially rather tentatively, as there was some light drizzle about.

Still, by 10am we settled on a very short, mostly beach and rock platform walk around Broulee Island. The Island itself appears to be untracked and is densely vegetated with littoral rainforest.

                                         Morton National Park, NSW

                                         Yuin country

Participants: Stephen Davies (Photos, Report), Sue Davies

Having just completed four walks in Kosciuszko National Park, catching up with some High School friends and enjoying a parkrun in Canberra we proceeded to Bannisters Mollymook to celebrate our 33rd wedding anniversary in luxury. It seems that may not really be our style as on our free day we both quickly agreed to forgo the palatial setting and head out on another walk. Pigeon House Mountain had only recently reopened after last summer’s Currawan bushfire closure, so we settled on checking it out yet again.
