A couple of notes 

 

-I've cut it down to 2 days as a lot of us have to be back home for Christmas eve. 

-I'd love to make it to Lake Cobbler to camp for night 2, but depending on how the day's driving is we may divert to Wonnangatta station.

-Unfortunately the camp spots that i have selected on night 2 is in the Alpine National Park - so no dogs.

Haha!
Don’t jinx yourself mate.
I have left it as a 3 night option. But potentially, I may have to cut my part short a night so the wife doesn’t hate me too much going in to Christmas!! Can’t wait to get back out there with you guys
