Most servo's will be selling either highland or alpine diesel in areas of Vic and NSW, so you'll be fine mate
Licola may sell it but nowhere on the way will. I've never actually seen it for sale before.Quote:

I have never seen it advertised either but have been told it is definitely winterised diesel. They have two classes as well highland and alpine grade. I would assume all other suppliers would have to do the same. might be different in Vic though..lol
c u in a few days mate
Hmm, I might ask in traf then and see what they have.Quote:

All pinch my idea.... its the best way to go.
Irish stew for us... then bangers on Saturday night.
Yeah the only places that I've seen it in Vic that have it are Mansfield, Bright & Mt Beauty. Haven't seen it anywhere on the south side of the mountains. . . maybe Omeo.Quote:

Has anyone done Black Range Track to Burgoyne Track, and down into the Macalister Gorge area?

Also, guessing the river will probably be a bit high to cross this time of year?
Haven't done Burgoynes Tk yet but know the general area well. Yeah river conditions will be the main thing. It is reasonably step so might be a challenge if it's greasy. We will be heading through on Friday so will see what is like, looking forward to the drive should be good. If river is to high you can head up too Cobb Spur to get through to Licola without to much backtracking.Quote:

I did Burgoynes tk 8 weeks ago solo and we went up and it is not for the faint hearted... it was dry back then so how it is now maybe completely different.
Rivers are going to be the real decider as to how you will go by yourself.
Getting excited .... rear bar isnt going to be ready until Wednesday now :(
I'm hoping the front mud flap/flares are going to do the job I hoped they would rears are sorted with the new bar I hope.
Have a kick ass reverse light....... front lights are the major short fall now.
Liquid refreshments and food is all sorted besides breakfast.

Is any one up for a drive out on the sunday?? I'd be up for a bash, rather head back through the bush than the highway. . .
I only have Thursday night spare so I've ran out of time :(Quote:
