This is a trip I have been wanting to do for a while but things get in the way and winter is not suitable. It's basically a simple bushwalking trip to the MUMC Hut and back in fast mode, however everyone needs to be independent unless there's one other person willing to lead.  My personal plan roughly entails leaving Melbourne on Friday night; sleeping over at Smoko or Diamantina Hut; getting up bright and early the next day and have a filling breakfast; running towards the hut via the razerback by 8:30; lunch at the hut at 12ish or at your convenience; leisurely running back to the start by 4:30 via razerback again ( if there's another car we could probably do both Bungalow- Razerback instead of all Razerback); going to Bright Brewery for dinner or cook your own at the a campground near by; staying at the campground for Saturday night; on the lazy Sunday morning we will slowly pack up, maybe check out Mt. Buffalo or walk around; head to Milawa Cheese Company for lunch; heading home. 

Since we will have the whole weekend and everyone is supposedly independent, the second half of the plan maybe subject to personal choice of to run and staying off mountain on Saturday night or walk to the MUMC Hut and staying overnight there, one or the other. Everyone will rendezvous by Sunday 12pm and head to Milawa for lunch. The assembly point will be decided at the trip meeting.

As mentioned, everyone on the trip must be independent, unless there's another leader willing to lead the way. By this I mean:

  • that you know how and what to pack
  • You will probably be travelling alone most of the time ( though there might be other hikers along the path) unless you run in a pair
  • you will have to know your way along the Razerback (possibly Bungalow Spur too)
  • you have been to the hut via Razerback before
  • can look after yourself especially if you get lost or injured ( everyone had to have their personal first aid kit and one working and charged mobile)

Simple, Right?

Oh, this trip is subject to availability of cars.

Please state comment below should you have any questions.
