The Best Hike in Northern Kosciuszko | 3 Days Exploring the Jagungal Wilderness
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 июн 2024
- Chloe, Anne and Anna (Doods) recently spent three days hiking through the Jagungal Wilderness, a bucket list experience for any bushwalking enthusiast. The 40-ish kilometre loop via Round Mountain Trail and Grey Mare Trail, including summiting Mount Jagungal, encompasses everything there is to love about hiking in Australia. This loop has some of the most beautiful historic Kosciuszko high country huts, never-ending views across to Mount Jagungal, rolling hills and deep valleys, plenty of lovely little streams (including the headwaters of the Tumut River) and a mountain peak to bag. Not to mention the wildflowers, birdlife (Wedge-Tailed Eagles!) and the unbeatable feeling of being immersed in a remote wilderness.
Featuring Anne Shanahan, Anna Johnson and Chloe Symons

Good stuff!
Absolutely awesome. Loved the opening scene with the eagle - stunning!
I love that you tried to think about me, a woman who opted to NOT go up Jagungal on my last trip that way because I couldn't be bothered with the overgrown track haha. Epic work ladies! It does make me keen to go back for a loop.
Yeah but we didn't run through the middle of the night with literal frozen feet 😂
Beautiful scenery, quality camera work and entertaining to watch! Love the story line and how you incorporated the perspectives from Anne, Anna and Chloe. Looking forward to the next adventure!
Appreciate that thanks mate! I'll be putting the hard word on them for round two ASAP! Anne may take a bit of convincing but i'm sure she'll come around 😂 - Dean
Wow, that opening shot of the wedge tail eagle. Incredible 👌
A seriously beautiful creature!
You guys rock with that carefree attitude and derring-do, enjoyed the video immensely. And it is a lovely part of the country. Only hiked to the Tooma via Dargals so far (that's where the good fly fishing is :) )
Glad you enjoyed it Norm! That would've been a great trip also. Keep any eye out on the Toms Outdoors Fly Fishing channel for some future fishing videos with Anne. There's plenty of fishing trip plans brewing!
Inspiration girls! I did it clockwise some twenty years ago. I thought I had completed my last major walk some two years ago, it was the second time walking the Overland Track, Tasmania, this time with my daughter. The first time was solo. I am now 73 years old, and passed my pack onto my younger daughters' partner. After watching your amazing coverage, I think I will ask for it back. As I said, inspirational!
Thank you for the kind words! We set off anti-clockwise just in case I didn't make it past the first day... so I wouldn't have too much of a climb back to the car (the team very kindly didn't tell me this reason until after our trip!). At 73 years young maybe you should borrow that pack back, talk about inspirational! - Anne
Awesome Vid! I also tried the fabled northern descent off Jagungal when I did the AAWT last year. Ended up finding a creek and following that down just after the weather station, was an absolute mission, you guys really captured that type 2 fun!
Thanks Ethan. We also followed what could well have been that same creek but opted to stay out of it where possible due to the relentless ankle traps and possibility of snakes. Definitely character building!
Very nice video
Cheers Sam!
Loved this video, awesome Scenery, not to mention the adventure, well done girls for taking the short cut...just adds to the adventure and unknown...did you only see the one snake, I would have thought you might have seen a few. Either way Jagungal Wilderness ...Loved it...cheers.
Thanks heaps Matt! We did see a few more but that big copperhead was a serious sized specimen. Anne had a run in with a red belly while fishing but less snakes than expected all together. There must have been plenty around through the off track sections but we all did our best to mentally block out that fact 😆
Absolutely amazing cheers .Whenever you start a short solo trip of 4-5 days, Moses Peak is a must. It is a 5300m height۔ from the top of moses pea which you can see the views of the K2 world. second highest peak in the world, Nangaparbat, K6 k11 and K 12 views in one frame. best time from May to October. This is a family tracked.its open Zone, one did not need a trekking permit or have to pay Royalty fee to climbed this Mountain tower
Sounds like an incredible place!
@@TomsOutdoors absolutely dear. For information about the route and journey of moses peak read the whole description of my pin video. Thank you
We did the north ridge off Jagungal on the AAWT. I totally agree - don't do it!
It's rough hey 😩
