Mount Cobbler Plateau Circuit Hike is a 29km hike in victorias high country that summits Mount Cobbler and explores Dandongdale falls (Victoria's highest waterfall)
Day 1: Leave Crooms in the afternoon and drive up to Kings Campground, stopping for dinner along the way.
Day 2 14.5km: We'll start hiking in the morning; where we will hike past Lake Cobbler (Note: this may be the last place to fill up with water), Dandongdale Falls (Victoria's highest waterfall) and we will camp on the saddle of Mount Cobbler. We may do a sunset/sunrise hike to the summit of Mount Cobbler as well.
Day 3: 14.5 km: Hike back to the cars and arrive in Melbourne in the evening, stopping at a pub for a celebratory parma.
Risks: This is a grade 4 circuit, so the terrain is very rugged. A decent level of fitness is required due to the around 1500m gained in elevation throughout the hike. As this is an intermediate trip prior overnight Bushwalking experience is required. In addition, due to being in the alpine region of Victoria, weather can change very quickly, and all participants will need to be adequately prepared for all conditions.
