The walk down "Heartbreak Hill" at Charlotte Pass over all those higgledy-piggledy cobblestones towards the Snowy River is the start of many adventures onto the roof of Australia. You've got the lure of magical Blue Lake just over the near horizon and the wonders of the Main Range trek up past Little Austria and beyond.
We've been here before. Many times. In fact, the kids are already excitedly chatting about who is going to be first to take their shoes off when we reach the stepping stones across the Snowy. Yes, they've fallen into the icy water more than once before.
