Australian Alps Walking Track northbound (Wahalla to Tharwa). This was the second attempt for me at this FKT. Departed Wahalla on Friday April 4 2025 at 8.03 am and arrived in Tharwa on Wednesday April 23 2025 at 11.41am. Female self supported style, used 19 food and water drops I placed along the track during summer prior to the attempt. I roughly came across one food drop every day. Supplemented water from major rivers crossed along the way. The water drops turned out to be one of the keys to success in some parts due to the FKT attempt being in a dry autumn off the back of a very dry summer, water was scare until I reached Kosiciuszko National Park. It was a solo mission, so no pacers or company. Got really lucky with the weather overall only three days with precipitation (on the first day and the last two days) and mostly unseasonable warm weather with light winds.
