Yeah it’s a bit sad, but still early days.  Would have been much better if not for that rain a couple of weekends ago.

here, look at this to cheer you up a bit.

Up top is slowly filling in, I could see the poor bastards in the instructors hiring clinic up there trying to score a place in this years line up.

Cams down low look crap :(

True.

I was however hoping to get up there before I go away, doesn’t look like that will happen now.

Anyone got the low-down on the Harrietville road situation?  A friend booked some accom in July via Hotham Accomodation and was advised to go up via the Omeo side.  I had read there was road damage but thought that was all under control.

They’ve cut a massive section out of the hill right near the meg. The road is open however it will be interesting to see how it holds up in a big storm.

I drove up it the weekend before opening weekend when we had that heap of rain, it was fine minus a couple of logs that had slipped down the hill and almost on to the road.

I wouldn’t be stressing about taking the Harrietville approach unless there’s a heap of rain/snow forecast.
