Mt Feathertop & Mt Cope
Sun 17 Mar, 2013 5:21 pm
Hey guys,
I did the razorback this week end (as a day walk, 7h) and the next day was so tired I only did Mt Cope and drove around the Bogong High Plains (beautiful up there). The whole way back from Mt Feathertop was done under the rain, while Mt Cope was done under strong cold winds. Not the best conditions to discover the Victorian Alps, but at least I know what to expect now.

Nice to see it without snow.
I know of some amateur radio ops that do the Bogong High Plains and beyond every winter.
Thanks for the pics.

It's such a beautiful area, last time we were up there it was very high winds also but makes for a different experience

Nice photos. Was up at the Fainters a few days before you were in the area, could see the fire damage across the Razorback from there. Looks devastating.
I finally got around to standing on top of Mt Cope a few years ago. Really nice place up there, much nicer than most people think.

I think I prefer it with snow.
