New Snowy Mountains track delivers ‘world class’ multi-day walk to NSW | smh_andrew
A scenic hiking track in the Snowy Mountains has caused an outbreak of state rivalry after the NSW Environment Minister James Griffin took a gentle swipe at Tasmania’s world-famous Overland Track.
“The Snowies Alpine Walk is putting NSW on the map for multi-day hikes, and it’ll be a must-do walk for anyone who loves Tasmania’s Cradle Mountain Overland Track,” he said. “In fact, I reckon it’ll be a strong competitor of the Overland.” An estimated 1200 tonnes of steel, granite rock pavers, gravel and concrete was brought in by helicopter to construct the $5.4 million second stage of the walk.
