A new date has been released, 14 to 15 December 2024.

Eagles Peaks are located in the Victorian High Country just out of Howqua Hills Historic Area. It’s a peaceful and very remote place to hike to away from the often busy camping areas of Sheepyard Flat. Physically demanding and mentally challenging, this hike will reward you with not only breathtaking views of Mt Buller’s Southern slopes and surrounding peaks but, more importantly, with personal achievement.

Only two tours per year are available with 5 participants on each tour.

We took some time out to have a little holiday doing exactly what we love, hiking.
This time it was the Three Capes Track in Tasmania.

What a great hike.
The track is very well maintained, and the scenery is breathtaking.
The huts are beautiful. They are comfortable, clean, and cosy.
The rangers are wonderful. They're friendly, caring, and full of great information.
We would like to thank Ranger Annie at Surveyors, Ranger Matt at Munro, and Ranger Joel at Raketunna for their hospitality.

We were lucky with the weather, we had lots of laughs, met some wonderful people, and created new friendships.
We simply had an awesome time.
