In mid-July, the University of Newcastle Mountaineering Club headed out for our intermediate back country skiing trip. This trip was made up of competent resort skiers who were yet to experience back country bliss. The weather was predicted to dump a whole bunch of snow on us and that began as we walked the switchbacks from Guthega Power Station as rain turned to snow.

Our base was Whites River hut, our tents? Some brand new Mont Dragonflys. We set up camp and enjoyed the serenity of our surrounds.
Ezzie and Cooper setting up their tent in a moment of respite.
Over the next few days we spent our time equally between the hut, digging our tents out and skiing the faces around the hut. Unfortunately the weather didn't allow us to venture any further afield. Our second last day brought the best skiing (and the most digging!) with around 50cm of the white stuff - magical!

We were a little sad to be heading down just as the weather was predicted to turn good, but everyone had a great time and are keen to do it again (I just need to help them forget how tiring it is!).

In a world that moves fast, finding time for adventure can feel impossible. But what if the solution isn’t in grand expeditions, but in small, intentional escapes? Micro-adventures—overnight or short trips into nature—are the perfect way to reset your mind, recharge your body, and reconnect with the wild, all without taking time off work.

The rugged beauty of the Tyndall Range, with its towering conglomerate peaks and dramatic cliffs, offers some of the most thrilling and scenic climbing in Australia.
It just might be the most beautiful climbing venue in Australia.
