I did a beginner mountaineering course in NZ this summer, had an awesome time at Plateau Hut. Been searching TR's looking for places in AU to practice this winter. A big trip to Blue Lake is on the cards and Feathertop again but wondering about the recent condition of Mt Buffalo - has warming done for it? And Bogong, from this article- http://www.chockstone.org/MtBogong/MtBogong.htm
Looking for easy to get to places with low navigation / backcountry skills and to take advantage of small windows of good weather and snow.
