A big thanks to: Cam Walker as a guiding light, Drew Jolowicz and Dylan Robinson for amazing images and all the frothers out there with us who are providing guidance, filling in the knowledge gaps, editing, writing, proofing, or the brave ones testing the tours.

Thanks: Nitasha Randall, Jimi Naylor, Rolf’n’Nez, Alex Sinickas, Luke Frisken, Anne Chiew, Craig Sheppard, Owen Lansbury, Dave McCoombe and Kelly Van Dem Berg.

Importantly, also big thanks to the MSC squad who support the forecast bulletin that makes the ‘companion’ possible. Our funding partners who have paid to get this up, without MSC membership contributions. They are YHA / Howmans Gap, State Government of Victoria and Outdoors Victoria. Thanks also to Parks Victoria North East for the long standing support of MSC.
