Walk leader Brian Watson said there were five walkers who camped for two nights at Mitchell Hut, allowing for the hike to be taken at a leisurely pace.

“It was nice weather. About 10°C cooler than Benalla,” he said.

“We walked to Rock-in-Stone Saddle, over to Cleve Cole hut and the old refrigerator hut site.”

He said it was a beautiful hike to Victoria’s highest peak.

“We saw lots of wildflowers,” he said.

“It felt like it was still mid-spring up there.”

Brian also captured a gallery of photos from the hike.
