Dec 20-21, Cascade Hut

We extended our rest stop another day because we spent most of the first day running around getting things we needed and to allow more time for sore feet recovery.

The walk from Thredbo to Cascade hut climbs for 410 m then levels off before dropping 200 m to the plain the hut is on. The forest here seems to have been largely untouched by the 2003 fires so the trees are actually alive! It took us 5 hours to do the 15 km to arrive here by mid day.

No reception already. I'll try from a high spot tomorrow.
