Day 31 – Into Jindabyne
After a very (very) chilly night, we had a leisurely morning to pack and then explore the surrounds of Orroral campground. We built up the fire again, had breakfast, and went out.
After this, we hit the road again. I turn out to have forgotten how to take photos for the rest of the day at this point. We passed through Cooma on the way. Checked out the local Op Shop for kids books and saw some items that looked pretty exotic to this Perth boy: snow jackets, snow shoes and skis. We’re headed to Thredbo tomorrow, but we’re unlikely to see any snow at this time of year.
Given the forecast (rain and subzero temperatures), we decided not to camp and checked into a small chalet in Jindabyne. The kids were hilariously glad to spend the night in a “real bed”. Tomorrow we’ll visit Thredbo, and see how far up Australia’s tallest mountain we can climb.
