Lisa Curry has laid her daughter Jaimi Lee Kenny’s ashes to rest on Australia’s tallest mountain more than two years after she tragically passed away.
Lisa shared an emotional tribute to Instagram after hiking up 2228 kilometers to the very top of Mount Kosciuszko where she left behind some memorabilia.
One final goodbye.

“I needed something to help me find focus again and get out of bed but my main purpose was to take my daughters ashes to the top of Mt Kosciusko.”

Despite being out of her comfort zone, Lisa revealed she and her travelling companions were “committed” after waiting for restrictions to reduce following coronavirus.
“I can honestly say it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. My beautiful friend Christine didn’t leave my side which I was very grateful for. The water is my comfort zone, not mountains,” Lisa said.
“The conditions were very challenging, plenty of snow, ice, rain, sleet, baby hail (sago) , 60-100kmh winds, we had it all.
“Once we headed out…No turning back. One step at a time. The second day, I carried the emotion of what I was there for.”
On the “last hill”, she admitted to feeling an “overwhelming sense of achievement and emotional anxiety” preparing to say goodbye to Jaimi one final time.
Lisa travelled with her dear friends.

“The wind was extreme, and took the balloon quickly, but it landed on the snow not far away, so Glenn went and picked it up and let it go again
“I honour our Jaimi by taking her ashes and dried petals from her funeral to amazing places around the country and the world.
Lisa released a balloon in Jaimi’s memory.

“Everyone has their own way of honouring those that are special to them. Fly free beautiful angel. Never forgotten. Xxx”
Lisa also hiked while having heart rate issues, but she assured her doctor that she kept up with her beta blocker medication and had “no issues” other than her entire body was weighed down with lactic acid.
