Planning a High Country trip

[Sir Roofy]

Awesome Drew!

Rough plan is to stay in either Dargo or Talbotville the first and second night, then move up to Wonnangatta for a night and then head towards Woods Point and end up in Kevington. Squeezing in as many tracks as we can!

station track is for a warm up,or you could do teatree of racecourse track it will bring you back to wombat track to hernes spur or stay on wombat
till you go thru the gate then theres humfrys track steep in two places bring you back to rileys track then into the station

Try abbots link/ abbots creek track near woods point and let me know what it's like. The last time I did it I had to clear a massive tree over the track and make a new track that goes throw the creek just so that we could get through. Also if it gets wet this track can get hard but as I said let me know what it's like because I haven't been up there for a long time

Heya Winnie,

We have been going up to the high country around this time for the last 3 years and always started off at Kevington pub and finished at the Wandi or porepunkah pub. This year we are off to Border track though...

How many ways can you skin a cat? So many great tracks up there! Great camping along the McAlister, and in the Buckland and Wonnangatta and many great tracks in between.

I have got google earth (kmz) files for each trip but I cant upload them onto the forum for you and everyone to see. If you like, flick me a PM with your email and I can get them across to you.

When you open the file in google earth, you will be able to see all the tracks that we had planned to do. Whether we did or not is different story... we always seem to run out of time... beer, smoko, beer, smoko... hahaha. The files have approximate lengths of tracks, names and the odd note here and there.

There is a great run into the McAlister from the top end... from memory its Grimmes onto Blue Plain (?) which comes down into the McAlister.

Anyhoos, flick me a pm if you like so I can flick those files across to you.

Cheers, Dave

PS - we are giving the high country a miss this year, too many reports of tracks that were torn apart by heavy rains last year followed by lovely 4x4'ers continuing to tear the rest of it apart. I guess, be careful which tracks you choose.
