A drive around the highest mountain range in Australia

We got to Corryong and set up camp.  Lucky we got here early as the vans and camp trailers have not stopped coming.  The festival is much bigger than we expected and we think bigger than the town expected!  The poor volunteers are looking worn out already!

We had a day to spare before the activities started so we headed out into the high country.  From Corryong to Khancoban then started heading up. The mountains are beautiful and they keep coming. The round trip was around 300 kilometers in the Honda of couse, Midi bus may not make it up these hills!

Even though we are in Kosciuszko National Park Sammie can come with us as it is a public road.  We head through Thredbo Ski Resort and lunch in Jindabyne.  Around Lake Jindabyne and Lake Eucumbene. Then head back into the hills to the north of the lakes and find the highest town in Australia.  Cabramurra - built in the early days to house the workers for the Snowy Scheme it was updated in the 70's and there is talk that it may close down as drive in drive out seems to be taking over.
