SOUTHBOUND Ep. 5 - The Alps (Backcountry Australia) 

Australia is an expansive place, with an endless 'red centre' surrounded by thousands of miles of pristine coastline. So it may surprise people to learn that we have mountains... like proper ones. In fact, the Australian Alps (Snowy Mountains) receives more snow that the swiss alps yearly and includes Australia's Highest Peak (Mt. Kosciuszko - 2,228 metres).
In this episode, we explore a fraction of Kosciuszko National Park under our own steam. Ski-touring and split-boarding, we access the Australian backcountry, set camp and explore the surrounding region.

We recognise that all environments we enter and adventure within are, and always have been, indigenous land. Hence, we acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work, learn and live, and recognise their continuing connection to land, water and community. We pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging.
