Crolly - Pretty, Quiet

IP:220.239.224.xxx | 2014-07-10 14:59:23

Spent 4 nights and enjoyed the solitude and the tall stands of trees driving to Thredbo. Probably wetter than the Diggings but no leaches and the smoothing sounds of the creek made it a great alternative to the standard ski camping holiday. Also very protected from the wind.
