I am researching this so I can scout it out privately. If it goes well then I might take others up there along this way.
It could be better to drive a bit of it , if that is possible in my 2 WD city car.

Snowy Log road off Big River Log Road is one way to Mulhauser. If you intend to walk all of Mulhauser from Bogong saddle (Omeo Hwy) then add a couple more days. Not sure why anyone would choose to do this. It is about 15km to the AAWT from an elevation of 600m. Your car would be fine on Big River Log Road and Snowy log road and that would put you closer to your goal. They are logging there at the moment (or just finishing up) and the roads should be in good order but a chainsaw is still recommended for these sections. You can also drive Big River log road to the Long spur and forget about Mulhauser. That part of the road is suitable for little cars if you dodge the potholes. If you do not have a chainsaw then you can take the chance. Usually there are enough people going through to clear the road but the last couple of times we have been through have had trees down and one came down after we had gone in. I don't want to interrupt your plan but make sure you research it well especially if it is a walk you plan to lead others on.
