We duly walked up towards the Mount Buller summit and found the head of the 4 Mile Spur track leading down to the Howqua River. The track was quite rocky in places and this required some care in negotiation. A steep decent and After a pleasant evening cooking in the hut and an early river crossing was followed by a pleasant lunch spot on night, we set off at 8:00 am bound for Mount Magdala.
