Just wanted some advice from those of you who've walked in Grampians. Doing two 3 days walks with a 13yo in early July.
Part A: 3 Day
- Day 1) Halls Gap to Bugiga
Day 2) Bugia to Borough Huts
Day 3) Borough Huts to Halls Gap
- * Which would be the most spectacular for 13 yo?
* With both these walks, do people recommend doing loops clockwise or anti-clockwise?
- Day 4) Sheep Hills to First Wannon
Day 5) First Wannon to Jimmy Creek
Day 6) Jimmy Creek to Sheep Hills (OR skip this day & do bike stash? looks like fire track?)
OR IN REVERSE
- Day 4) Beehive Falls Carpark to Briggs Bluff to Mt Difficult to Longpoint West (?or East which is nicer)
Day 5) Longpoint West to Beehive Falls Carpark
Day 6) Day Walk: Stapyleton or Hollow Mountain
- 1) Grampians Peak trail's completion has been delayed from June 20 to Dec 20 and now June 21. But it sounded like some of track work has been completed? But couldn't work out where? and presume not enough to make a 5-6 day walk?
2) It snowed last year in July @ Mt William, but trying to keep weight down (as my kid's only 40kg, so carrying 8-9kg pack(20-22% of bodyweight). If we take 4 season sleeping bags, but 3 season tent (not 4 season) does that sound OK?
3) For x2 car camping nights, what are best campgrounds? (eg most scenic)
