Easy snow day and overnight walks near Melbourne?

Postby David M » Thu 02 Aug, 2012 11:09 am

I have a friend that wants some easy day and overnight snow walks near Melbourne. For overnight they had in mind walkng 3-6 kms and camping. Can anyone recommend any such walks?

Thanks.

Get thee to the Erica Car Park and haul out to St Gwinnear/Camp Saddle/Phillack Saddle. Great little walk, nice enough country, still a bit of snow, not too long a drive.

Mt Torbreck, near Eildon. Day walk. Would also be fun to camp on top in snow.
