The Hump and Cathedral Track, Mt Buffalo National Park, Victoria

Another good short walk high up on the Mt Buffalo Plateau, The Hump (1695m) provides great views over to the Horn, and you pass a large triangular shaped hunk of rock called the Cathedral.

The second of three short walks we did after the Big Walk, climbing the Hump from a small car park on the road up the mountain offers excellent views of the the slightly higher Horn (1723m), a nicely shaped lump of rock called the Cathedral, and the surrounding alpine plateau. More info on the Parks Victoria website. (We also did two other short walks nearby – The Horn and Chalwell Galleries tracks).

And I featured this walk in a compilation of my favourite bushwalks in Victoria.

Looking at The Horn (1723m). The lighting was all over the place but this photo proved popular on my personal Facebook page, so I guess it’s created a certain atmosphere.
