Report: Headed off from Nunawading about 6:30pm, got to campsite just before 9pm. Tricky place to find in the dark but got there in the end. Had some beers by the fire after tent was pitched up and kids asleep. Next day chilled, ate, and did a little bit of 4wd'ing to check out Mt Terrible. Pretty easy trip up Newmans Track, and then down Donald Track. Donald Track was more tough, but not too difficult still.
Rating: 8/10.
