Welcome to our Thredbo 2001 web page!
These photos were taken on our wonderful Thredbo holiday over Christmas 2001. We stayed in an apartment at Thredbo Village for a week from 23rd December and walked each day. Most photos were taken on our walks at the top of the range between Thredbo and Mt Kosciusko. Weather conditions included snow, sleet, hail, rain, and sunshine!
The photographs on this page were taken with a Nikon Coolpix 775 digital camera.

From December to February, National Parks put toilets at the Pass! | Rehabilitation under snow - close to the top | Marc and Wen on the mobile phone at the top of Oz! (-16 deg C wind chill at 2,228 m elevation.) Mobile reception is better here than in many parts of Sydney! |
