Archived trip from old website run by Alana

An overnight walk in the alpine Kosciuszko National Park, staying by Cascade Hut!

We'll leave Canberra at 8 am on the Saturday and drive to Dead Horse Gap, where we'll leave the cars. From there we will cross the Thredbo River, up to Bob's Ridge and continue on to Cascade Creek and finally Cascade Hut (total ~9km).

Our campsite will be by Cascade Hut. We'll have the option of leaving our packs at the hut to explore the area further e.g. the nearby cascades, and look for brumbies. We'll camp in tents near the hut, but use the hut for a shared pot luck feast for dinner!

On Sunday, we'll walk back to the cars. The trip is suitable for people new to overnight walkers as the distance is relatively short and not too steep.

Note that it could get as cold as freezing overnight, so warm and wind/water proof gear will be needed. A gear list will be circulated at the pre-trip.
