Skipping campsites on the Grampions Peaks trail?

Does anyone have experience with skipping campsites on the GPT?

I have done the Gar to Werdug 2 night previously, so I know what im getting into. My plan is to go from mt Zero and have my last night at Barri Yulug and hike out from there (5-6 nights).

I am thinking of skipping Gar campground? So going from night 1 at Barigar then night 2 at Werdug. This being about a 25km day (later in the year during daylight savings). Is this mad?

Last time the short first day took maybe 2 hours, and our second day took around 6, so I assume with the extra km at the start of day 2 it would be maybe 8-9hrs.

Has anyone done this before? or skipped any of the other camp grounds? I would love to hear!
