Nelse, Victoria
Town in Victoria, Australia / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nelse is a small rural locality in the Bogong High Plains of Victoria, Australia. Nelse is renowned for its Mount Nelse, Edmonsons, and Johnsons Huts Walk.[2] The 18.7-kilometer Mount Nelse and Huts Walk[3] is popular among backpackers, birding enthusiasts, and campers, offering diverse terrain and captivating landscapes. It takes approximately 5 hours and 3 minutes to complete,[3] with opportunities for "solitude" during quieter times of the day. The trail is best explored between November and May when the weather is favorable.[3] Dogs are also not allowed on the trail to protect its delicate ecosystem;[3] as Nelse is part of the Alpine National Park, with its "Zone Code" primarily being a Public Conservation and Resource Zone (PCRZ).
