By Spencer's Creek
Well, we tried! Our aim was to spend four days on a walking trip in Kosciuszko National Park, both the south and north. The plan was to camp for a couple of nights at Island Bend, walk the Summit Walk to the top of Mt Kosciuszko and return via te Main Range Track in one day, spend some time around Geehi and the historic huts and spend the last day around Yarrangobilly Caves and the thermal spring.
Unfortunately I suffered from a bad migraine on the first night after setting up camp in a fly infested campsite and we had to head home.
The Fly Invasion!
Thankfully, we did get a chance on the first afternoon to drive to Guthega and walk a little. We tried to find a walk suggested to us by a woman at Jindabyne Tourist Information Centre. It was quite beautiful, about the same gradient as walking up one of the chairlift runs and the walk up the first rise brought us to the base of Mt Blue Calf and still within the treeline.
At Charlotte’s Pass we walked along the Boardwalk and saw Mt Kosciuszko and the walk we were to do the next day. On the way back to the campsite we spent some time at Spencer’s Creek wanting to swim in the crystal clear water.
I’m looking forward to attempting this walking trip again. In the meantime… I have some fitness training to do!!!
Ahh... Serenity 
That’s a real shame you didn’t get to do the things as planned. But the flies were to be expected at this time of year, I heard. Btw, I started posting about my 2 day walk.
