Full Story

This was a great trip. I took Friday off of work and got a ride down to Sydney from Matt Blackman, who was up visiting his mom, my landlord. He dropped me off and I met up with his brother, Jonathan. We trekked across Sydney with our packs and Joined Ken, our ride to the hills. After picking up his daughter, Larissa, we made the 4 hour drive to Canberra, the Australian Capital city. Crashed there for the night at someones house who they all knew, and drove to the Snowy Mountains from there, another 3 hours.

We met up with Rob, the trip organizer, rented skies, and made our way to the Kosciusko National Park.

We set up camp at Dead Horse Gap, skied some, camped, got up, met Angus, an Antarctic Expedition leader who joined our group, skied to South Ramshead (in title picture), skied back down, and drove home... I crashed at Matt's and Jonathan's place in Sydney, and got back to Newcastle around noon on Monday. Whew.

Ciao,
Cameron
