The perspective of a man as he hikes with his partner, along a metal walkway that winds through bushland, then on rocky steps cut into a hillside. They return to their car then arrive at accommodation. On another day, they hike uphill to the Seamans Hut before he touches a plaque at the top of Mount Kosciuszko then has a meal with his partner. They walk to a lookout point above a valley, then carefully step over rocks in a stream. After getting back to the car, they stop at a cafe and view a map on a phone. Now, after climbing up a rocky hillside, he takes a photo of his partner with rolling hills behind her. Their trek continues through bushland with spindly white trees. The couple reaches the river's edge and they celebrate, then head back to their car. The man turns his camera back on himself to take a selfie with his partner. Snowies Alpine Walk.
