There's also a very long bob sled that hurtles down the mountainside. I couldn't keep Mum off it...! Adventure hound...
Leaving the high country we got this great view of the main range. I had quite an adventure here in my early 20s. I camped on the top of two of the highest mountains then hiked straight down to the road. I dropped (sometimes literally head over heels) 1800 m in one day, lost and refound the (closed) trail more times than I could count, and only just made it out by dark. Those were the days... :)
The Snowies have several hydroelectric power stations suppling green energy :)
