if you are thinking of going through Victoria's alps in snow time on 4WD tracks ensure your 4WD can handle it with alpine diesel, diff lockers, lifted, mud terrain tyres, winches, etc, you have lots of 4WD experience, CB radios, second vehicle, and take your warm boots, clothing, chainsaws, snow chains, firewood, fire starters, snow shelter such as a tent (you never know when you get stuck and alpine hiking tents are nicer than swags in the snow!), minus 10degC sleeping bag, stretcher, etc and ensure there is not ice on the snow which would make it dangerous (traversing snow with wheels turns it to slippery ice as well). Not only thick snow hiding tracks but snow laden branches falling across the track can make visibility of the track very difficult!
