If you’re interested in doing the ultimate Australian experience that doesn’t include surfing with sharks or snorkelling in reefs, try bushwalking in one of the many snowy mountains of Australia. Otherwise known as hiking, trekking, rambling or hillwalking, bushwalking is exactly what is says; walking in the bush. What sets it apart from the others is that you are walking in Australia’s beautiful and natural landscape, from urban parks, forest trails, to high mountain peaks.

Bushwalking can be a short trek or an overnight hiking adventure, and whether you choose the snowy mountains of Australia in the north or the south, you should decide what type of bushwalking suits you best. Do you want a two hour walk through beautiful scenery, or a more challenging adventure climbing a mountain? Researching different localities before you go is key to successful bushwalking.

One of the highest mountain peaks in Australia is Mount Kosciusko located in the Snowy Mountain region of New South Wales. The peaks are snow-covered in winter and spring (June through October), so be sure to go during the spring/summer months. ...
... With a wide range of weather conditions check the forecast before you go; severe thunderstorms or high daytime temperatures can be hazardous to your walk.

Mount Kosciusko is located within Kosciousko National Park, so there are many options for bushwalking if climbing peaks is not your thing. Covering 6,900 square kilometres, Kosciousko National Park contains a mix of true wilderness and rugged mountains, so there is a walk suitable for every type and fitness level.

The park is about 350km northwest of Sydney and has an alpine climate in the higher regions which is unusual in Australia. This climate canoffer perfect bushwalking conditions on the right day. Just outside the park are the towns of Tumut, Cooma and Jindabyne which are great places to find accommodation near these grand,snowy mountains of Australia.

Not only is bushwalking great exercise, but one of the best way to see the unique flora, fauna and scenery of this country is on foot. It is wise to take all necessary precautions and safety measures before heading out, check weather conditions, bushfire danger, availability of water, and likelihood of menacing animals such as snakes, crocodiles, and dangerous insects and spiders.

It can also be useful to find a club to walk with as they will give you information about bushwalking in each state of Australia. Spring is the best time to go to Mount Kosciusko when the weather is milder and the springflowers come into bloom.
