It's become a bit of a tradition over the last four years, to don the hiking gear and/or cycling gear and set off for the roof of Australia at 2228 metres above sea level. In 2009, I set off with two others. in 2010 I took 22 people up. In 2011 it was 19 and this year it was a hardened bunch of five.
We were met by a magnificent day of cool breezes and patchy cloud. The weather forecasts were a bit touch-and-go for a while, but we stuck it out and were rewarded.
