Kahane Lodge Rehabilitation Project - update
Thank you to members who have already contributed to Kahane site rehabilitation.
In March the team of 20 volunteers turned out to weed the garden bed & the area around each of last year’s heath seedlings and to plant this year’s seedlings.
Amy Slocombe from NPWS organised the seedlings, compost, mulch, and plant guards, we provided Seasol, water crystals, and rock minerals to give the plants best chance to establish.
There were 35 new seedlings planted in the garden area in front of the bedroom wing, 60 heath seedlings planted in the western side of our plot and 20 snow gum saplings planted among the existing snow gum stands. The grass areas were mown and hand weeded to reduce the invasive weeds.
After the weekend this year Perisher received good rainfall and that appears at this stage to have significantly improved the survival rates. Thanks to Daniel Plumb for keeping our rainfall records!
Thank you to everyone who attended and Tony for looking after the meals and lodge.

Final (4th) Stage of the Snowies Alpine Walk is now open
Plan a walk now!!
The 4th Stage is a 12km section from Perisher to Bullocks and was opened in December, enjoy fantastic views of the Thredbo Valley and Bullocks Flat. This last stage is constructed from elevated grid, paving stones and gravel. Allow plenty of time to experience the best of this walk. If you are walking end to end it is helpful to have a vehicle at the finish to pick up your drop off vehicle.
See NPWS website for project information and the December 2024 Update.
