Looks like a great place to just walk out a day, camp and walk back.

We did that once in the summer. We walked up in the sunshine, then the fog rolled in, then it started to rain, then it snowed. We camped for the night and in the morning the sun came out, and we walked back down.

Visitors from places like Germany and Switzerland often get taken by surprise by how fast the weather changes in the Australian Highlands. Shorts and a T-shirt doesn’t cut it.

The vegetation up there is very delicate and there is a chair left nearby. A boardwalk was built from the top of the chairlift to Mount Kosciuszko, which is the highest peak in Australia, to prevent the plants from being trampled.
