Planned Alpine Bush Walking Trip1
Victoria has some lovely high country that I never had a chance to walk through (being snow bound for the winter months does make it a little hard to go hiking in) but I recently stumbled on this little gem of a hiking trip that I promptly signed both of us up for. The only downside is the trip is in a few months time and I soo need a holiday now 
Day 1: 10am start at Melbourne airport. Travel via historic Glenrowan and Mt Beauty to Falls Creek Alpine Village. A short village stroll provides you with a good orientation. Overnight in Falls Creek.
Day 2: Today begins by following an easy Aqueduct Trail connected to one of Australia’s early hydro-electricity schemes, built between the 1930’s and 1950’s. k
Day 3: Will you be up to the challenge of walking all the way from Falls Creek to Mt Hotham? .
Day 4: The standard 10km track to Dinner Plain is easy, but you can also add an optional 9km walk to the aptly named Mt Tabletop.
Day 5: The hiking starts along the breathtaking Razorback Ridge, surely one of the most dramatic walking routes in Australia. As you walk along it, Mt Feathertop gradually looms more and more impressively. The final (optional) steep climb to the summit is a ripper!
Day 6: Walk through forests beside the Ovens River to the outskirts of Bright.
Day 7: Travel back to Melbourne, arriving at the airport at about 2pm.
