Much nicer to walk with temps under 20 and then sleep comfortably at night without sweating. There will be some up hill walking but NNW suggestions are solid and you just do the up at your own pace. Nothing too bad though. Toilets are at most locations but they are long drops. Plenty of water so you only have to carry a couple of litres for the most part. Good phone reception on most of it and at the end you might find a nice cafe at Falls Creek. The only issue will be the logistics for you. It is about 1.5hrs from Albury airport. Direct flights to Albury from the Sunshine coast are supposed to start this September with Bonza but on limited days. Qantas fly Adelaide to Albury now if you can get to Adelaide.

As a city dweller, I drive 4 hours to get to Falls Creek from Melbourne. Wondering if it would be cheaper to fly to Melbourne, rent a car and drive to BHP? I imagine boutique (I'm assuming) flights from Adelaide to Albury would be costly?
