I was suggesting a -4 comfort with a good mat and probably a warm liner with the option to wear additional clothing would work. Agree this may not be warm enough for the worst conditions the Walls can throw at you but you would survive!

As NNW said, best purchased outside of Australia, but you'll need to use a freight forwarding company to work around the exclusive arrangement that Thermarest have with Australia's greedy wholesaler (I presume?), whereby online sites are not permitted to ship Thermarest goods directly to Australian customers. I think even Australia Post will do freight forwarding for you these days, giving you an overseas address to ship to in multiple other countries.

The EN thermal ratings are for someone who is already wearing thermals. If you don't wear them then you will miss some of the bags thermal rating.
