Another excellent post on Our Hiking Blog shares a very cool adventure. They reposted Nick’s pics of a winter tramp on the most famous hiking route in Australia:

Here’s how the same gorgeous alpine hut looks in summer:

Snows in midsummer as well. I’ve had snow in the Victorian Alps in December (our summer), bit of a surprise as previous days had been very warm.
