Kiandra and Selwyn Snow Resort (Snowy Mountains and Canberra Trip)

Monday 23 December 2019 – 280 414

This morning I woke with vertigo, probably from my recent head cold, so Drew and Hayden went walking without me on the Old Mountain Road Track.  They tell me this is very steep but only gives minimal views.  Meanwhile I prepared some Christmas treat foods at the van.

After lunch we drove to Kiandra to look at the remains of this short-lived gold town.

Then back to camp for another cooling swim, reading books and dam building in the creek.
