Description

MacMillans Walking Track is a 220 km track running through the southern edge of the alpine country east of Melbourne.

Even to walkers from Victoria, this track is not very well known being often overshadowed by the Australian Alps Walking Track. While the two tracks do cross, this track provides a very different experience as it crosses some deep valleys and passes isolated mountains like Snowy Bluff. For experienced walkers seeking something different, this track provides it.

This is an historic track that cuts across the southern side of the Victorian Alps. The track climbs and descends a lot as it crosses many river valleys and is a fairly tough walk. It is suggested to take 12 to 14 days to complete the 220 km track. The Ben Cruachan Walking Club repeat this walk every 10 years in 10 days - a tough itinerary which is not recommended for most groups.

While the track is marked at junctions and important areas, experience at using maps is needed as markers do go missing.
