KNP - Bradneys Gap, Doubtful, Boobee
Posted: Mon 25 Aug, 2014 8:54 amAdvice is sought about Kosciuszko NP.
On the Cabramurra Road just out of Khancoban the Everards Flat Fire Trail goes towards Pretty Plain and Grey Mare Hut. I've walked or skied on all of this track, but have not visited most since the fires. The kilometre from the head of Pretty Plain Creek to the 1640 metre contour was quite slow going a few years ago, and the track was lost until about 175931, the start of the climb to the ridge.
Has anyone walked on the rest of this, from the Bradneys Gap Picnic Area, and if so, is there regrowth?
From Round Mountain Hut the Farm Ridge Fire Trail goes to the Tumut River, a relatively easy wet crossing. Downstream I've crossed Doubtful Creek at the Tumut several times, but again not for a while. My recollection is that the Doubtful is deeper than the Tumut, and is a bit tricky. Is this correct?
Finally, are there any valleys or ridges to avoid on the Boobee-Mackeys-Cesjacks route? As before I've walked and skied all of this but not for a while. I can recall getting tangled up in some slow nasty scrub near here and do not want to repeat the fun. TIA.
