Hi guys the walking track is now closed from troopers creek campground (which is also closed) due to fire damage. You have to start the walk at beehive falls trailhead. Check http://www.parks.vic.gov.au for updated track notes.

Instead of looping back, you can also hike from briggs bluff down to beehive falls carpark and back to troopers via roses gap rd , about 6km, but its all uphill.
Nooo! We didnt do this one, drove past it to other hikes we did up there. Have you done it??
Oh do that one before I meet you two heee

I went to do this hike in 7/2020 but the starting point is closed and not accessible (theres a wooden sign on the side of the road oppositie where the access point used to be). It looked as though the original camp site was planted over. This also closes access to Talwinda Falls. Troopers Ck Camp Ground is about 5km further north and the trail up to the eacarpment is still in place but currently closed due to Grampians Peak Trail work. I found the trail and followed it briefly but turned around at the fences.

Mount easy ?
No. Unfortunately it is permanently closed from Troopers Creek. You have to access Mt Difficult from the north. Guess they ran out of funding. http://parkweb.vic.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0003/621246/Grampians-National-Park-Update.pdf
