Whoever does 78.4km/h is courting danger.
No skin and broken stuff if you come off.
Nope, not interested.
Anyway, whatever, I'll investigate modes of exercise that don't require 8 hrs driving to get to and from or riding down a steep hill.
Get yourself a exercise bike, I believe getting your cardio fitness up helps with bushwalking also eating healthy imo

Or a Wahoo Kickr Rollr (as I have), if you have a road bike — but a fear of high speeds, sweeping downhills (not steep hills!), long drives, suicidal beaut ute drivers...and sunburn...

An holistic approach to eating, regular exercise / varied activity is a lot better than one sole activity; an old addage that was once common among the vehemently strident old guard of bushwalking clubs went something like, "only bushwalking prepares your legs for bushwalking, not cycling!". Oh, you don't say now...interesting that I have conveniently outlived those pundits!
I have pursued many active interests, bushwalking among (a natural progression from my Queen's Scout days), cycling, swimming and running for 47 years ... and all that is with a kidney transplant first done in March 1977...and is still going! Go figure.

I thought maybe I could walk out from Falls but until October 6, looks like the resort wants to charge $64/day to park my car, so forget that.

From there you have the entire BHP to explore for free. There might be the odd TAFE or school group out and about but by and large it will be very quiet.

I might be tempted to head up Mount Bogong instead, because you got that climb regardless of the season. And save the high plains for later when the road is open.

CKD is progressive, not static, and not helped at all by ^^BP!
They will need to get sarcoidosis sorted before anything else.
You will likely need one or the other (HD/TX), (likely both) culminating in a tx at some time.
Just to mention it, Ibuprufen is prohibited for use in established renal tx patients.
I am fairly outspoken as not supportive of the current generation of immunosuppressants for tx; they are toxic to the transplant, resulting in failure after +/- 10 years. There are folks who would like me to shut up about that. Well folks (dead and alive), that aint gonna happen.

Now I am going ASAP just so I can annoy the other poster here who knows nothing about me and what I do to make the world a better place.
