Baw Baw Overnight Hike - Solo Hiking from Baw Baw Village to Mushroom Rocks

Overnight hike from Baw Baw Village to Mushroom Rocks with side trips to Whitelaw Hut Ruins and Mt St Gwinear
I headed up to Baw Baw National Park in February to complete this solo overnight hike along the Australian Alps Walking Track (AAWT) from Baw Baw Village. I camped at Saint Phillack Saddle after completing an out and back hike to Whitelaw Hut Ruins. The following day I walked down to Mushroom Rocks via Mt St Gwinear and Mount Erica.
I had pretty nice weather and didn't see a single soul out there on trail. This is a perfect overnight hike for beginners, solo hikers, or those looking to experience the alpine region not too far from Melbourne.

Mount Bogong Circuit Hike This incredible four day loop up and around Mount Bogong in the Alpine National Park is both challenging and insanely beautiful. I was incredibly fortunate with the weather, despite a freak summer storm dumping quite a bit of snow around the alpine peaks for the few days prior, I managed to get four days of perfect conditions.
