I am a teacher at a High Shcool in Melbournes west looking for a place to take my students on a 2 night bushwalk towards the end of June. Had planned to walk down in the Otway in Cumberland River area but they are running controlled burns down there and cannot tell me when these will be finished. I have lookd at the Gold Diggings walk from Daylesford to Castlemaine but it is closed due to flood damage and Cathedral Ranges is closed as well.
I'm investigating other option such a Grampians but I know this was severely damaged by floods too. Does anyone have any suggestion for a group of 10 year 11 students and 2 teachers? The alps are out as its winter and they have done the wilsons prom circuit last year.
Any ideas would be much appreciated, preferably not more than 3 hours from Melbourne.
Thanks
Daniel
