Thredbo Hikes Track Report | 8 February

Posted on 11 Feb, 2025 in Hikes Track Report

Track Report by Lachlan Melling | Head Guide

More than just Kosciuszko

Track Work

Track works have finished at the summit of Mt Kosciuszko. Be aware there are still track works on the Dead Horse Gap trail and as always we ask that you respect the direction of workers and NPWS staff.

Mt Townsend

For a hike with a difference, book a guided Mt Townsend hike with us, where you’ll find yourself winding through tall Kosciuszko Ribbon Grass, an endemic species to our park. Some of the flora you may encounter along the way include Mueller’s Snow-gentian, Carpet Heath and Gunn’s Willow-herb. Our guides will help point out and identify plants with you along your walk and share the rich history of our area.
