This 10 km return hike to the Mt Glenrowan Lookout begins with a steep climb for 1km, leading up to the Chick Hill Lookout (signposted) while the remainder is undulating and moderate to easy. Native […]

This is an 18km Circuit on Mt Hotham that visits 3 different huts: Silver Brumby Hut 1992 (rebuilt 2006-7), Spargo Hut (1927-8) and Derrick Hut (1967). With enough cars a car shuffle can be arranged to cut down on the distance. The tracks vary from fire trails, narrow footpads and a section of a grassy track […]
This is a weekend that can suit nearly everyone. Near Dinner Plain, it is only about 200 m from the car park to the JB Plain campsites. That means you can bring real food and luxury items. (Banana lounges have been seen popping up and the odd bottle of wine has been spotted on previous […]
