One other things to add.
If coming from Merrijig, you can either go up Brocks Rd or King Billy Tk past Lovicks. The latter is rough and slow, but very scenic. If you want to go up Brocks Rd, it is
well worth detouring 15-20 mins along King Billy Tk towards Lovicks to a magnificent
lookout site, just off the track, called Picture Pt (marked on some maps, eg. Rooftop). It's just past a huge and spectacular snow gum called King Billy tree - there is a faint path from there, or a clearer path (not signed) a few hundred metres further on. If you come to a
gate, you've gone a few hundred metres too far. Great view of the escarpment from (right to left) King Billy No.1 to Mt Magdala, Mt Howitt,
Crosscut Saw, Mt Buggery, Mt Speculation, Mt Koonika and Mt Cobbler. On the other side are Mt Stirling, Mt Buller,
the Bluff etc.
Have a great trip.
Cheers,
Des
