Alone again, I set
off to traverse Australia's highest country, the Snowy Mountains and the
Aussie 'Haute Route' from Thredbo to Kiandra. I made a late afternoon
ski up the piste and across the range, in the evening light, to Charlotte
Pass, Australia's highest village. Here I had my first rest day for three
weeks. From Charlotte Pass I headed off across the range in a mix of glorious
sun and bucketing rain, frozen camps and draughty huts, and wombats scratching
the snow for a meagre feed. I was so tired one night, I cared little that
the resident hut rat was feasting on my boots.
