Mont staff member Jaxon recently made a leisurely five day walk through Namadgi and Kosciuszko National Parks. Starting at Honeysuckle campground Jaxon and co. walked to and circumnavigated Bimberi Peak crossing from ACT to NSW and back again. Good regrowth, since the 2020 fires, was observed in Orroral Valley along with snowcaps on Bimberi Peak and Mount Murray. Though the highlight was a frost rainbow that appeared as frosted mist cleared on the morning of day three.
