Cascade hut walk
It was a hot,hard,long walk of 20.2 km & 35,086 steps, rewarded by a close sighting of 3 brumbies. Gerard, Neil, Kerry & Julie ate lunch with 2 walkers Di & Simon, farmers from Kojonup WA, who were camping at Cascade hut after 36 days walking the Australian Alpine walking track starting at Walhalla & finishing in Canberra after 50 days. It makes our effort seem pretty feeble.

In anticipation of the weather deteriorating in the afternoon, our group made an earlier start than usual. Having driven to the Cascade Trailhead, the group split into two platoons. Under the command of Major Gerard, four members set off for the attack on Bob's Ridge, before heading on to Cascade Hut. The second group, under the able command of Brigadier Sandy (8 members), surveyed the Thredbo River, pausing to admire the distant views into Victoria, tracking brumbies (with some success) and recording the positions of snow gums and wildflowers, before returning to Cascade Falls for lunch. Fortunately, the forecast proved incorrect and we had another lovely, sunny day.
