Take snow pegs for your tent and a snow shovel. IMHO we will get 40 cms minimum of snow by June 1st.
I have been up and down Mt. Feathertop, Bon Accord Spur, Baw Baw , Mt. Stirling , Mt. Neklse and Mt. Bogong , Carruthers Peak ( NSW ) etc. in early winter, mid winter and spring snow.
It helps if at least one person in your party has some past match fitness and experience in snow in these places.
I have taken VNPA groups up Mt. Stirling, Mt. FT and Mt. Bogong etc. in deep snow and almost zero visiibility in the past. I had no compunction about turning the group around at the tree line when the I saw what the conditions were like on the day.
