From the lookout, we will head over the 'Big D', down to The General (aiming to arrive at 2pm - guests can also join us from this location if preferred), stopping to talk about the diverse alpine flora and fauna, and the stunning Mt Hotham region along the way.
From The General we'll admire the charming chalet style architecture in Davenport Village as we walk through to Slatey Shed, before walking up Christmas Hill and the Big Spur. Finally we will turn around after admiring the stunning views at Brandy Creek lookout and returning the same way we came.
