Six-Foot-Track in Blue Mountains (March 21/22 or March 26/27)

The Six Foot Track is the best way to get the true feel of NSWs richhistory and its evolution over the last 200 years. Winding throughState forests and national parks, the track follows the 45 kilometre route of the original 1884 horse track from Katoomba to Jenolan Caves.

It usually takes three days to walk the whole track, but shorterwalks can also be taken on sections of the track where road access ispossible, making the track a perfect day trip or overnight camping experience.

The track crosses differences in altitude, aspect, climate and soiltypes, leading to a wide variety of flora, including eucalyptus,wattles, tree ferns and other vegetation. Walkers are also likely tosee native mammals such as kangaroos, wallaroos, echidnas, wombats andswamp wallabies and at night, possums may be seen in trees. Lizardsand snakes are common and Nellie's Glen butterflies may be seen aswill the 150 bird species which have been identified along the track.

Campsites are located at Cox's River, Alum Creek and on the Black Rangewith facilities available at Cox's River and Black Range. There isalso other accommodation available at Jenolan Caves.

We will make two days/one night on 20-21 or 26-27 (Sat & Sun) of March, 2010.

Day One (March 20 or 26): Jenolan Caves to Cox's River Campsite (29.5 KM, 8-10 Hours, 1130 M ascent and 1720 M dscent, stay at Campsite)
Day Two (March 21 or 27) : Cox River Campsite to Katoomba (15.5 KM, 4-6 Hours, 1160 M ascent and 390 M descent)

Tony see you there

有没有中文的呢？

Viola

LS，老大打不了中文，但你有问题可以用中文问

navyzhj

谢谢LS的及楼主，由于英语不好，一直不能在网上看英文攻略，近期我想去MT KOSIUSZKO， 网上好多人说有好几条路，可以过去，我想从悉尼过去，用三天的时间去玩（包括来回），主要就是爬山，我的体能没有问题，在国内就经常和三夫俱乐部的一起玩。
所以想请楼主能不能给个经济实惠的路线攻略呢？谢谢！
注：刚来悉尼，对澳洲还没有熟悉。

Viola

MT KOSIUSZKO，从悉尼单程要6个小时，SUMMIT TRACK因为是ONE-WAY（我想你也不会去坐缆车的），所以来回将近20KM，要一天，就是说，你只用3天包来回的话，就单单走这个TRACK而已了，然后途中经过的小镇玩玩看看，4月份的秋色很漂亮！从CANBERRA开往JINDABYNE那条路（我去年只走到COOMA）是一路金黄啊。那里的TRACK很好走的，说是第一峰，都很平，很容易上去的。

一般在澳洲玩，自己开车，住CABIN（大概$30/人/晚），Share油费，自己煮饭，玩起来都不贵的。

在JINDABYNE有BIG 4CARAVAN PARK，你不住CABIN的话也可以CAMPING，不超过$10/人/晚。附近应该还有CAMP SITE，“同城聚会”1月底去过，你可以翻翻旧帖子看他们在哪露营。

因为我也是在研究线路中，只能把自己知道的告诉你了，详细情况还得等我回来再说

以后可以一起爬山
