Summit to Sea

One of the best wilderness journeys possible in Australia, a twenty-one day expedition from our highest mountain, Mt Kosciusko, all the way to the ocean at Marlo. We move through some of the most scenic and diverse environments in South Eastern Australia, using snowshoeing, bush walking and white water rafting as modes of transport.
