Missing the mountain air already? Come hiking in the subalpine plateau of the Barrington Tops to remind yourself of winter. Fresh air, stunning scenery, and hiddden water falls.

This hike is around 20km over 2 days and involves some hills. The trip requires a moderate level of fitness and more than anything, an appreciation for some lightweight type 2 fun.
This is a great opportunity to taste test overnight hiking if you're new to it.
