Charlotte Pass |
On April 5, 2005 Barbara Mallory age 54, and Dan Mallory
age 54 arrived at the Charlotte pass, the start of the
trek to the summit of Mt. Kosciuszko 7,310 feet high,
the highest mountain in Australia. It is located in
the Great Dividing Range in the Snowy Mountains of New
South Wales, Australia s/e of Canberra, the capital
city of Australia.
We began the climb at 10am from the Charlotte pass,
passing several glacier lakes and traversing the continental
divide ridge with various significant up and down hills
reaching the summit at 2:45 pm on a perfectly clear
day.
Although a very easy trek in relation to other climbs,
it never the less has taken the lives of some climbers
as evident by the memorials along the way. A very pleasant
and energetic day’s hike.
