Mt McLeod provides a commanding view across the Northern
Buffalo Plateau and the Ovens Valley.
With the seasonal road closure adding 3.5km to the one way
trip and the expected great weather I decided to make this trip a long walk
over the two short days of the winter solstice.
I was very happy with my gear, the sub zero temperatures did not bother me, although it was a long night in the sleeping bag, lucky I had packed an audio book to listen to.
