    Sharing a review received from Tyrone B. Took advantage of the fine weather and decided to give this walk a go.

    Headed off 4:30am from Melbourne wanting to get an early start taking in account the tedious drive from Merrijig to Clear creek trailhead.

    Was met with some deer hunters as I was about to walk up the road, assured me I wouldn’t be shot I walked up the steep Nobs 4wd Track meeting up with the AAWT , was quite stuffed already hadn’t even started the real walking yet , made my way over The Nobs , then onto Highcone was windy up high not sure if I was hot or cold as the wind was cold and a blaring warm Spring sun. from Highcone thru to Mt Clear the GPS became my best friend, the track would appear and then disappear and would be left scrub bashing over and under fallen trees etc..

    Was 3pm by the time I made it to the saddle between Square Top And Mt Clear and was pretty well buggered and tempted to setup camp and relax , but decided I wanted to get to the saddle on the other side of Mt Clear so I had an easy walk the next day back to the car , made camp by 5ish and was happy to be snug in bed after woofing down dinner.

    Was a tough walk and I enjoyed very much with spectacular country views.

  • Completed this traverse on NYD 2022. The track from the Nob through to Square Top is completely overgrown and indistinguishable. It needs to be considered off track walking so make sure you are prepared for that type of navigation and allow plenty of time as it’s extremely slow going. While these track notes suggest water is available at the camp site we couldn’t find it even after an hour of searching. We were nearly out of water so made the call to continue on and walk out back to the car / creek. Took us 14 hrs all up.
