Geehi and the Western Fall


Geehi is south of Thredbo past Tom Groggin and the Murray River. It sits on the Swampy Plains River at the base of the Western Fall of the Snowy Mountains. Unlike the north and east approach to the Snowy Mountains the Western Fall is quite abrupt and looking up at the main range is more imposing and feels more like mountains.
Five huts have been built as fishing lodges along the Swampy Plains River here.

The first crossing of the Swampy Plains River. Deeper than it looks but drove through  no problems.

Walked from Keebles Hut to Old Geehi Hut which was only 4klm return.

Mt Townsend from Geehi. The second highest mountain in Australia. 

Back at Geehi, not the best time for long exposure photos as looking straight into the late arvo sun.
