They will experience all the high country has to offer from Australia’s highest mountains; white water paddling on turbulent rivers fed by melting winter snow; navigating through alpine forests of snow gums and tall sub-alpine mountain gums and visiting historic gold rush towns. A highlight will be ascending the highest mountains in the country including Mt Bogong (1984m) which is Victoria’s highest peak and Mt Kosciuszko (2228m) which is both New South Wales’ and Australia’s highest mountain.
