The foot track to Buenba Hut site is reasonably well defined. North bound it may be hard to hit the end of the short road leading to the plain, and I'd take the road to the east..

If this work is completed before Easter 2017 then I will walk this section next Summer in the Dec- March 2018 period for sure.

It has been cleared of fallen timber but is still quite overgrown with scrub foliage to the point it is hard to see your feet on the track at times. It is easy enough to push through but after rain you will get quite wet unless you wear wet weathers. The scrub is not constant but starts at the end of the 4wd track and continues on an off for a quite a few kms. It had already been extensively cleared for some distance east of Bossiaea hill by a member of the Bogong Club but they stopped short of Mulhauser by a couple of kms.
I know picnic tables are Steve's thing but personally I would prefer them only at the trail heads or car parks. Along the tracks seems to spoil that feeling I get from walking in the bush

Effort would have been better spent clearing tracks of logs and scrub. Another option is to put angled diversions for water, thus minimising the effects of erosion. It does not matter if it's a national or state park - PV needs to be asked.
Many have been opposing the Falls-Hotham walk as an intrusion into wild areas. Picnic tables on Long Spur weaken our case.
