I spent the last two days hiking with @Christybon across the Bogong high plains from Cope Hut to the Fainters. Day 1 started with perfect weather as we followed the Australian Alps walking track for the first 10km. #hiking #bushwalking #Bogong 1/n

We had lunch on the first day at the summit of Mt. Jaithmathang (1852m) and then followed a set of GPS waypoints along the ridge to avoid backtracking. Without doubt the hardest bush bash I’ve ever done. Took about 3 hours to cover 4km. Certainly longer that the backtracking option but at least we earned our dinner. Rewarded with the most fantastic campsite with panoramic views at 1800m on the slopes of the Fainters. Amazing golden hour and sunset. #bushwalking #hiking #sunset 2/n
