Be aware that when you rent a property you have to provide your own fridge, washer and dryer. They don't come with the place, like in Canada. Not even if you buy a place. Only built-in stuff stays: aircon, cooktops, wall ovens. The exception would be a fully-furnished, self-contained type of rental, which would cost more per week.

Not even a fridge?
Even cheap motels here usually come with a mini-fridge!
No washer and dryer? I can live with that, making trips to the laundromat.

If I had to choose, I would rather have a full-sized fridge than air-con, btw.

Well, Mt Koscisosko is tiny compared to Mountains basically anywhere else.

^^ I find its elevation formidable,
perhaps taller than anywhere in the Appalachian mountains of the Eastern USA,
but the slope of the mountain seems less awe-inspiring.

true, although Ive always had dryers supplied when renting in Sydney...

They come with fridges etc?

that's alright - although I like my own fridge (I'm becoming a germ-a-phobe)
