Earlier this month over the Easter long weekend I headed back to rediscover my love for a familiar country, the Ngarigo high country.
With good weather forecast and a wonderful full moon, I thought it was high time I returned to the beautiful hills of Kosciuszko National Park.
It has seemingly been too long between visits. As the early morning fog cleared driving down the Monaro Highway, I was thinking about the trip, it was perhaps my first time back all year. As first light broke over the day, the full moon was setting a beautiful blood red on the horizon, a good sign of clear weather ahead!
Location: Hannels Spur Track, Kosciuszko National ParkThe destination was the famed Hannels Spur, the goal was to see how quick I could hike it in a single push. I've hiked the track many times over the past few years. Mainly thanks to the great work of some very dedicated volunteers and parks staff to keep it maintained! It's a great hike, whether enjoyed as a day hike or a multi-day trip.
I enjoyed a great day out, bettering my previous time by a good margin. I also had the pleasure of sharing the track with a trail runner up from Victoria. It seems the track is getting a name for itself! The songs of lyerbirds echoed through the hills on the way back to the car, in time for a late lunch. Satisfaction certainly filled the air.
My gear of choice always includes the usual staples;
My La Sportiva Ultra Raptors
Mont Grid Pro Hoody (my favourite bit of Mont kit)
Mont Reactor Long Sleeve Shirt
Salomon Advanced Skin 12 vest
Snacks (I've been loving Tailwind lately)
First Aid Kit+ PLB, and some other essentials.

After the western light had faded I got my camera out and planned on doing a little astro photography. Pleasantly, my first image showed a cheery red and green glow to the south. The Southern Lights were active!

This past month, Canberra’s trail running community came together at the Frith Road Substation in O’Connor for an action-packed night of testing, learning, and connecting. The Mont Trail Running Shoe Demo gave runners of all levels the chance to put the latest footwear from La Sportiva, On Running, Altra, and Hoka through their paces on a dedicated 1.2km trail loop that quickly became a Strava segment.
