About the Australian Alps Walking Track
The Australian Alps Walking Track (in short AAWT) is one of the most popular long-distance trails in Australia. It starts at Walhalla, Victoria, and ends in Tharwa, near Canberra city. Along the way, it crosses Victoria, New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, and also the Alpine and Kosciuszko National Parks. Just like the name suggests, it takes you through spectacular alpine scenery, with very little chances for resupplies in towns, so overall, it's considered a fairly difficult thru-hike.
