The journey up from the far South Coast to the Monaro and Snowies is torturous enough today. Most of us tackle Brown Mountain or Mt Darragh, so long as there aren't any landslides. The more adventurous attempt Tantawangalo Mountain Road.
Either way, in an air-conditioned motor vehicle the trip up the escarpment and onto the tablelands is luxurious when compared to how hordes of miners in the 1860s made their way from South Coast ports to the Kiandra goldfields.
