i've been looking for somewhere myself to start a few overnighters so i think it will be the Prom for me later in the year when the weather is nicer and there's no kids

Another good intro to overnighting is the MacFarlane Saddle route to Tali Karng - there's a thread in here about all the different routes and the current track conditions. It's a short easy walk to the new Riggalls Hut Camp, which makes a great base for a number of day walks - Spion Kopje, Tali Karng, Millers Hut/Gable End/The Sentinels, the Wellington Range.
Then, when you're more confident (and the water level is low enough), the river route is a good workout though longer and harder work.

Cool... Victoria doesn't seem to get enough credit as a good place to hike. All the places suggested in this thread look absolutely amazing!
