Trail description

A long loop over the roof of Australia from Charlotte Pass in Kosciuszko National Park: across the Snowy River, past Blue Lake and along the Main Range to the summit of Mount Kosciuszko at 2,228 m, then back along the old summit road. The range is fully exposed to wind and storms, and snow lies until December. A park entry fee applies.
