Introducing Harrietville
Harrietville is a picturesque little town (www.harrietville.com) nestled below Mt Feathertop. During ski season a bus shuttles between the town and Mt Hotham, so it’s a good spot for slightly cheaper off-mountain accommodation.

Ski and wheel-chain hire is available from Hoy’s (5779 2658).
Harrietville is the starting and finishing point for various alpine walking tracks, including the popular Mt Feathertop walk, Razorback Ridge and Dargo High Plains walks.
In late November the annual Blue Grass Festival (bluegrass.org.au/Festivals/harrietville/index.cfm) takes over the town. Early December heralds the Lawnmowing Grand Prix, a classy affair of lawnmower and snowmobile races.

I would recommend the Grampians for good beginner hikes. Also Harrietville for good Alpine hikes.

I've camped at the riverside campground at Harrietville in mid winter. A very pleasant spot.
