Tarli Karng 1999
Topic: Australia

Russ and Frank check out the snow photo TaliKarng990.jpg

   Wal always wanted to go to Tali Karng and check out the fishing. Two hours in Four out. It's a bit of a hill. All started well till we got to the split in the track. Frank, Russ and I looked at the weather and decided short route. The rest went the scenic way. It started to snow (it was September),then it really started to snow. As we got lower it became constant heavy rain. Up on the scenic route the track disappeared, to be replaced buy a foot of snow. Fortunately they where walking along a ridge,unfortunately it turned into a blizzard. Down at the lake we brewed up and played cards in the tent, up the top they battled there way down hill through the bush. By the time they arrived it was just about dark, we cooked dinner, and most of them just crashed straight into bed cold and wet. The night was a shocker with gale force winds, luckily we had camped in a sheltered corner, only falling trees to worry about. I slept like a log. By the next morning it had cleared up a bit, Wal went fishing, but with the wild weather nothing was biting. Bacon and eggs followed by a four hour slog up the hill. Wal's never been back.
