Nice itinerary Cuppa! Sounds like something you've done.....or would like to......
Yeah, have done it all, but not in one trip. Drove a Troopy I bought in Bundaberg back to home to Gippsland staying in the mountains all the way. Much of the Vic high country I’ve done on bikes as well as 4 wheels.Quote:

Riding with my son (then aged about 5 or 6) pillion across the Sturt Sony desert & seeing ‘moving hillsides’ of thousands of roos (Red & grey, plus emus) was a sight burned into my memory banks. Lake Mungo is a great bit of ‘accessible outback’ we’ve taken overseas visitors to a few times. Mutawingintji has amazing tessellated rocks with yellow tailed rock wallabies living on them. The ‘hollow’ sounds of their feet across the rocks is memorable, as was having a couple of sherbets at Milparinka, I don’t think I bought that lizard that the kid was trying to sell me!
Also have the boarder track to mix things up..
How long did you say your there for?? A year?? Lol
That is why I only added a few things / trips, as there is so much that can be done......Quote:

That's my main idea for this trip. Is to have no time limit and no set plans. So if I am really enjoying somewhere I can stay longer.
I could end up being a year or longer in Vic. Lol
If you're going to tick off some "BIG" items there is the big Strawberry at Koonamoo.
Echuca is dripping early pioneer stuff with paddle steamers the main thing
There's also the ancient aboriginal rock art down in the southern Grampians. Grampians is a nice place to camp too. Some great bush walks.
Following the coast road is very scenic, and don't forget Phillip island,
The big worm at Kurrumburra. LOL
Thanks for all the ideas.
I have changed my plans. Only spent a few days in Victoria this time through. Heading over to Tassie, on the boat at the moment
Ended up driving down the coast rd and camped at blue pools.
Will be in tassie for at least a month, most likely two months. Who has some good ideas for Tassie. I'm hoping to try and check out. Balfour Track. Sandy cape. Cockle creek. Montezumma falls track. Bay of fires. Freycinet National Park. Port Arthur and anywhere else
More looking for good 4wd tracks etc
Cheers Andy
The blue pools are awesome.
