On the next day we drove via Bright to Falls Creek, which lies 1600 m above sea level, and checked into our apartment at Huski. Falls Creek is mainly a skiing village, but in summer people, not too many though, come to hike the Bogong High Plains. On Saturday, we went for a short walk to some Alpine Huts and saw Wallace Hut and Cope Hut. The huts here have been built long time ago for the people who herd the cattle to live in. They are now used as emergency shelters. One can only light a fire, sleep in there in emergencies, otherwise one camps around the hut.

On Sunday, we went for a nice 22 km day walk to Roper’s Hut, which is currently being rebuilt, after the bushfire destroyed it in 2003. For some part of our trek, we walked on the Australian Alpine Walking Trek (AAWT), which goes from Canberra to Walhalla, which is around 650 km!
