Today's expected top temperature between 9am and 3pm is +22°C.
Main Range Conditions There are a couple of small drifts on the way to the first bridge, with two large ones
before the Lookout. The snow is very soft so care needs to be taken as there are some holes starting to
appear. The fen and bog areas and small streams are starting to show as is the Tall Herb fields to your right
after Merritts Bridge. Just beyond the lookout you can see the first of the Marsh Marigolds start to appear and
there are a lot of Richard's Pipits flitting about. The walking track beyond the lookout is clear for about 100m
then completely covered in snow pretty much all the way to Kosciuszko. The hardest part (beside the trek
from Rawson's to the Summit) is from Half Way rocks to Cootapatamba - here you are walking across the
middle of a slope. It is recommended that only adults with moderate fitness level to attempt the summit and
that you follow where others have been. The cornice is completely intact and truly spectacular, Rawson's is
pretty much a big bowl of snow, with toilets and interpretation signs still snowed under. Families are advised
to go only as far as the Kosi Lookout.
