That is the usual way for people and they are open and in good condition. The grader and roller has been out on Mountain Creek Road recently and I am told the road to Camp Creek is good. Just keep driving and you will get to Granite Flat gate. I am not sure if they are still logging on Holloways. There is some logging happening in that area and some of the State forest roads are closed. I am assuming you only have 2wd as if you had 4wd you probably would not need to ask the question. The Granite Flat gate should be open soon if not already and with 4wd you can get all the way up.

I walked up from the Granite Flat gate a few summers back. We walked over the Mt. Bogong summit , went down the Quartz Ridge and camped at the old Helipad. The next day we retraced our steps. That was a solid hike.

Sorry to offend you. I am mostly harmless.

I have withdrawn/deleted my comment.
Moderators please note I will refrain from commenting on the O.P.'s posts.
He does some good hikes with some good trip reports.

However he has quoted my statement which I have now withdrawn.

I drove past the Holloway Log road on the Omeo Hwy yesterday and the logging signs are still up. Had a look just off the road a while back and there are signs stating no access past that point.
