-Day I. Nimmo Hill - Cezjack Hut.
-"Leaving Nimmo Hill at 7.45 am and after opening and closing gates through grazing properties (Berridale map), we climbed for three hours to the commercial Bogong Lodge just outside the Park boundary east of Jagungal. Lunch, then half a mile to an early camp at Cezjack Hut.

-I faint vehicle track gave us easy walking through the high meadows to Bull's Peaks, 6,180 ft, with splendid and distant views from North and South Peaks, followed by some wandering around Mail Box. Then clearing Cup and Saucer Mountain, 6,340 ft, just below its impressive rocky dome, we continued down through heavy undergroWtho 1 amongstthe trees above the hut.

-Day 3. Mawson's WhitdsRiver.	.
- Our usual 7.45 am start, again in brilliant sunshine, south up the track and along the Kerries Ridge. With Gungarten on our left we dropped down and into the scruffy Schlink Hilton, home base for two entomologists aoing their annual survey of the. snow-gum-eating bug. Then one mile down the road to inspect White's River Hut and a 10 mins climb by track towards the tree line for two nights camping.

+In sunshine we followed the road south and continued along the aqueduct service road, leaving it to push steeply up hill through shoulder-high scrub to reach the backbone of Disappointment Spur. Somewhere close to Gungartan 6,779 ft, Christa and I were both leg weary, and with the cloud ceiling dropping and the wind rising the thought of exposed camping boosted our energy enough to sidle in the shadow and protection of Gungarten's many spurs, through miniature gardens growing in the drained beds of last winter's great snow drifts, and on towards the elusive Tin Hut. At 6 pm, when crossing a saddle, my short tired legs were pumping up and down on the spot, so it seemed, when Tin Hut was sighted. Like a pair of harness greys turned for home, Christa and I picked up speed and cantered to a warm wash and sound sleep. Bob and Bill still had plenty of "go" and in fading light replenished the hut's wood supply.

+We started up the slope to get the easier walking along the top of the Brassey Mountains, passing on the eastern side of Big Brassey's mass of granite, and down through thick scrub to the ruins of Alpine Hut. Lunch at Kidman's Hut, a little gem with its fire place sheathed outside with 4" saplings as they were in the early days. We then climbed up and over Brassey Pass, down through tall mountain ash trees by Teddy's Creek, a few easy miles along river flats, a "short-cut"? over low wooded hills and back at Nimmo Hill at 7 pm. A unanimous decision to pile into Subaru as we were, camped at Euaumbene bridge, breakfast in Cooma Park, lunch in Goulburn Park, home 3 pm.
