| Australia’s highest suspension bridge opens |
|
Freshly minted and ready for walkers to test their boots as part of an ambitious new tourism venture. Standing 1627metres above sea level, the bridge spans the Snowy River between Guthega and Charlotte Pass in Kosciuszko National Park. Part of a recently constructed nine-kilometre track along the upper Snowy River, forming the second stage of a world-class multi-day walk, it was formerly known as the Kosciuszko Snowies Iconic Walk. The newly-named Snowies Alpine Walk project is being constructed in four phases and will eventually cross Australia’s alpine roof.
Featuring active days and comfortable nights, the 55-km four-day walk will extend existing walks across the park’s spectacular alpine area to link the resorts of Guthega, Charlotte Pass, Perisher and Lake Crackenback. Each new track section is about six to 12 kilometres in length, allowing walkers to complete any section of the track as a single-day walk, or combine sections for two- to four-day treks.
The self-guided or guided path passes through majestic alpine and sub-alpine landscapes and along the Snowy River in Kosciuszko National Park. It includes reaching the summit of Australia’s highest mountain, the 2228-m Mount Kosciuszko. |
