To escape from the annual meeting of people who puzzlingly consider the inhalation of
burnout fumes to be not only a legitimate form of entertainment but the greatest that has ever been devised, we made a trip to the northern part of Kosciuszko National Park over the weekend.
Canberra is currently experiencing temperatures in the 35-40°C range, and we also hoped that it would be cooler in the mountains. It was, but not as much as one would wish for. Photos below the fold.

| Three Mile Dam Reservoir. |
 |
| Yarrangobilli Thermal Pool, where we cooled off on Saturday afternoon. I assume the "thermal" part is more obvious in winter. |
 |
| Black Perry Lookout, although this particular picture does not show the mountain it was named after. |
 |
| Grasslands at Kiandra. This place was once a goldfield but is now only a road crossing with one building. |
 |
| And, for the botanical angle, a Brachyscome (Asteraceae) in a rock crack at Kiandra. |
