Vic - Queens Birthday Long W/End - Sheepyard Flat

Hi All,

During the Queens Birthday Long Weekend in June (June 6th - 9th) I am considering staying at Sheepyard Flat or Frys Hut, with my Tvan and a Female Friend and maybe her Boyfriend who hasn't been 4WDing at all or Camping.

I plan to visit Bluff Hut and Lovicks Hut, on one trip
and a second Trip is to Craigs Hut if possible.

From my understanding, the tracks are open that weekend, and closed post Queens Birthday Weekend.
Is that correct or am I wrong?

If the Circuit Rd to Craigs Hut is closed, can you then just get to the Visitors Centre at the top, turn around and head back down again?

Any further tips - Do I need snow chains at all?

.Please advise

Tracks usually close the Tuesday after the Queens Birthday holiday on Monday. If you want to show your friends Boganville at Sheepyard then that is the best weekend to go as it will be packed to the rafters.

Unless it snows you do not have to have chains till after QB weekend.
It will be busy in there as D4D said and yes tracks shut Tuesday.
No visitor centre on top of Sterling, road get shut at the cercuit road when closed. Small info, ski hire operates once there is snow.
Have fun and it may be very very cold.
