Barry - I'll go, i will drive up fri night and stay with relly's in Wagga - pm me the date once you're decided.
i did Mt Bogong after New Year - it is fantastic to get above the treeline in Australia - there is too few places to do this..felt like i was on top of the world
Good on you Daniel! It starts with one mate.
Keep your eye on this topic and I'll let you know with a firm date soon. As I said, at this stage it will be mid to late Feb.
I am going up there for a just a drive recon today, so I'll take a few snapshots and write a report here.
I am going up there for Landscape, Macro and low-light photography. Hopefully the falls are running. They are around 200 metres high!!
The trip will require fitness and stamina. It is dangerous and there are snakes aplenty at this time of year.
This will be hard going and challenging so if you are unfit this is probably not for you.

Pity I am in Tassie, or I'd chuck the G11 on my back and join y'all. Wife can carry the C11 in her day pack and the kids can haul the dang batteries... who-ra
When walking the Bibbulmun track for a one night 2 day walk one must carry equal parts water to red wine or port and a nice cuban to have around the camp fire after a appertising meal
Remember also the cardinal rule what goes(said) on the walk stays on the walk
One must also remember to pack the required toiletries

Hmmm...port for me, not wine. Cigar...I'd love to as I used to, but I have tossed the habit for 5 years now.
I did a bit of a road recon today to see if 2WD vehicles can get up there. Long story short...youbetchya!
Hah. I coulda toldja that.
Love the dragonfly. Nice of him to pose so nicely for his portrait.
Its a special part of Australia up there' absolutely love it. Over the other side of Ginini is also very pretty with good camping to be had on the Goodradigbee right down in the valley. Sounds like your trip will be a ripper and good luck.

What did you do to Mt Bogong?? Whatever it was I hope it recovers.
Seriously, I know what you mean about being above the tree-line. I've recently been to Mt Buller and Mt Stirling and the views were great. You feel like you can see forever - though in truth it may only be 100km. We also visited the famed Craig's Hut and could see why the location was chosen for the movie ..... the views are to die for. Of course a real hut would never be situated where there is no water nearby.
I won't be going on any hikes however. These days a easy km or two from the 4WD is about my limit.
Interesting reading Baz, sounds like you guys would have had a beaut trip, if I didn't have a dodgy leg, I would have been along in a flash, love to experience that sort of thing.
