**Trip Overview**
This high country circuit takes in a section of the Australian Alpine Walking Track (AAWT) near Mt Buller, with a series of peaks – The Nobs, High Cone, Square Top and Mt Clear – all featuring impressive views of the surrounding country.
Participants in this walk need a good level of fitness, able to handle steep gradients (both up and down) at a steady pace without frequent rest stops.

**Itinerary and Walk Description**
**Distance: 14.5km, 1200m total ascent (Sat) + 7.5km (Sun)**
**Saturday:** Meet 8:30am Sheepyard Flat then drive approx 1 hour to the start of the walk. It is strongly recommended participants drive up Friday night and either camp at Sheepyard Flat or stay in Mansfield.
The walk begins with a very steep climb up a 4WD track before becoming easier once the AAWT is reached. The track from Nobs through to Square Top was cleared earlier this year, so it should be easy to follow and provide pleasant walking, albeit with \~200m ascents and descents at the four main peaks. Mt Clear is uncleared, but this section was always fairly open anyway.
Overnight camp is in a saddle with reliable water after descending Mt Clear.
**Sunday** is a gradual descent along a 4WD track, arriving back back by lunch time at the Clear Creek start point.
