Aussie 10 January '17

[canthardlywait]

These summer holidays I'm looking at doing the Aussie 10 over 2 or 3 days. I've had a bit of a browse on the net and have not yet found really good track notes. I've got the required maps and a compass however some track notes would come in really handy to give me an idea of what sort of navigation I will need to do.

Any tips and advice greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Have been to most of them. It is all very open country, and except for the Main Range track and a rough track out to Townsend is untracked. The ground cover is snow grass except for some bits of Richea sp, which are best avoided, so just follow the tracks or the ridges. One web description they drop packs before going to the Ramsheads. I wouldn't advise it, there have been thefts from packs left near the daywalker tracks and if the weather mists in, it could be difficult finding the packs again. Also, care needs to be taken if camping on the western side of the main range, as if the weather changes it can be extreme. Otherwise, it s a great area to walk in.
