The undulating granite plateau across the alpine zone of Kosciuszko is home to twenty-one endemic plant species, they can only be found right here! 

What better way to close out the year than with the beauty of Australia’s highest peaks and rolling scenes of wildflowers?

Last night was Thredbo’s first Full Moon Hike of the 2022-23 summer season.

While the alpine ecosystem covers less than 0.3% of Australia’s land mass, the snowmelt and rain from this small region play a hugely significant role in preserving the Snowy, Murray and Murrumbidgee Rivers.

As the dancing daisies and intertwined heaths take their final bow for this summer, we begin to see the later blooms take centre stage.

In January the summer sun soaks the alpine flora, and their unique displays drench the mountains in colour.

There is no time like the New Year to hike across Australia’s ancient mountains to discover new sights and scents.

The alpine trails are offering up exquisite views and pristine conditions as Thredbo Valley recovers from flash flooding last week.

It is the silly season, take a hike and slow down to appreciate the wildflowers with the Snowy regions vast hiking opportunities.
