Quick lunch break then back out through Mitchell's Track. Expecting it to be a pretty good drive but apart from a couple of steep and rocky bits was very easy going. .

Loving life you blokes!! Bloody awesome .
I drove Mitchells few weeks ago. And it wasn't a highway. It was destroyed, large rocks dislodged everywhere but it was dry... Although it was the weekend after easter so every man and their nieces' cousin was up there prior. Must've been graded since? 🤔 Was there a Ranger on it's roof on the side of the track still??
Also slate mine was barricaded off when i was there.

It was all rough towards the eastern end, perhaps the last 1/3 of the track as you approach Steiners. We drove west to east. Then went back around to Howqua Rd, then went south again through Symes, across Mitchells and onto Masters. All were very steep but otherwise very cruizy.

Also where is this??
Kind of reminds me the Junction hut spot on the Aberfeldie. But with one of the banks being elevated! What a spot...!

There was a memorial plaque slightly hidden in the grass beside the hut installed by Bob’s mates IIRC Hodgey.
