We moved our trip forward one day as the rain cleared and the forecast was for almost a week of sunny weather. Instead of doing two shorter trips we combined them into one longer trip as we were unable to get accommodation in St Arnaud in the interim. With our backpacks full with seven days worth of dehydrated food we headed out from the Mt Robert car park on a clear and sunny morning.
