BTAC are going to
clear the Zeka Spur walking track so that it will become a super walking highway. This is going to happen soon!
Once this is completed then two sections of the Viking circuit will have been cleared within 24 months.

Horse riding is allowed. Refer to Greater Alpine National Park Management Plan. The plan refers to maps but the maps are not in the pdf version. Can be hard to find the maps online but the information is in the plan. Deer hunting is also allowed in that area.

Thanks. This is what l found. Horse pass area - dispersed. Horse camping is not permitted. Horse passes required.
It may well have been a once-off or rare allowance for them to pass through that section from mac springs as it is generally a walking track. I spoke with a horse tour operator at Craigs Hut a few weeks back and they said they had to change routes due to impossible river crossings.

Yeah, mine too.
I came down with a lurgy, so no walking this long weekend.
Maybe in March or April...
