Hi all
I want to hike over the March long weekend, overnight hike either sat or sunday. Was thinking of Mt Bogong but my partner is new to hiking and after reading a few posts think the steep ascent might put him off before we even start!
Instead its sounds like Mt Feathertop will be a good intro for him - great views, not too many steep ascents and weather more predictable.
Would love some feedback about this circuit - am thinking we would park at Diamantina Hut then hike to Feathertop summit and down again to Harrietville and spend night there (we don't have camping gear as yet - I've always borrowed friends when I've hiked overnight) then next day hike back to Diamantina Hut, back to car.
Thought it might also be good for first hike not to carry too much gear as we are walking far distance and packs can get heavy for that duration!
Google maps tells me it a 35k circuit
What do people think? Any other suggestions? He is open to getting some gear for overnight camping so that could be an option
We are kind of familiar with the area from snow season and are now based in Benalla and very keen to start exploring the beautiful high country
Thanks all
