Use low gear for the last couple of kms. Don't drive down to the Lake itself in a 2 WD.

Mt. Cobbler to near the Cobbler Lake track and Spec. road junction= Walking track not for 4 x 4 traffic.
Mt. Spec. road cairn to Mt. Koonika and onto Mt. Spec.= walking route. No cars.

If there is water in the Coliban Water channel then you have an unlimited supply of drinking water - just make sure you filter it as it’s an open channel with lots of dead animals!

I'm with PCV. Nuance is for cowards who won't plant their banner and stand proud!
It will be hot in the Goldfields, somewhere between 273 and 413 degrees (Kelvin)!
That sounds hot, I reckon.

An off track walk is fine in some places. In summer I leave early, 6-6.30 am at the latest, beating most of the heat. Camp is reached at noon-2 pm, time for a bludge and wash. A few long days started at 5-5.30 am. The only part of me that is exposed is my face, and that is under a broad brim hat with a big flap. March flies are not a problem, and I don't need sunscreen.
