I'm going to postpone this trip. The weather forecast is for rain on Saturday and driving in slush is not why we're going. The higher mountains like Buller & Hotham are getting snow, but where we're going, next to Baw Baw, is just a maybe for snow, more likely it will be rain.

But keep an eye on the weather, if there are more snow falls, and no rain, then I will attempt to run this again as a short notice trip. The rough plan is to post it up on a Monday or Tuesday night and confirm it is definitely going ahead by the Thursday.

I've been past there several times but have never been up to the Gap, what do they offer if they're open? I was going to stop there with the group but was unsure as to what they provided so thought it safer to say to self cater lunch.
