    Yeah, with my treatment finished I'm going to head bush for 5 or 6 days with a couple of mates too. Was thinking if heading up through the high country into NSW and ACT via Tom Groggin. On the way, want to do the Haunted Stream track but not quite sure what else is good heading in that direction.
    Be looking to leave in about 2 weeks......

    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!
