Summer in the Snowies

Saturday 7th to Saturday 14th January 2022

The Snowy Mountains, known informally as "The Snowies", is an IBRA subregion and the highest mountain range on the continent of mainland Australia. It contains the Australian mainland's highest mountain, Mount Kosciuszko, which reaches a height of 2,228 m above sea level. ‘Wikipedia’
