Little more than two months after coming home, unpacking everything and getting back into the swing of life - our feet started getting itchy again. Now don't get me wrong, it is great being home, and we are right back into the swing of school, work and renovations (yes - we find plenty of ways to keep busy). But we had one major challenge we wanted to complete.
On our 12 month journey around Australia, we saw many Australian icons, swam under some fabulous waterfalls, and climbed some picturesque mountains. There was one mountain that we didn't conquer on our trip, and it was nagging us.
It was time to head to the High Country and the Australian mainland's highest peak - Mount Kosciuszko. (Australia's highest peak is actually Mawson Peak, part of active volcano Big Ben on Heard Island way south west of the continent)
