Jameson and Surrounds quick weekend bash.

A few quick pics from a cracker weekend in the Mexican Alps with MB. Drove up Friday night and stayed on the Jameson River just down from Wrens Flat on the Silverman Spur track. .

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. .

Top end had been graded into a highway, assume good views of Eildon but. .

Quick coffee stop in Jameson then cruise home through Big River Rd, very pleasant drive. . .

Loving the piccies fellas, spewing I couldn't make it [emoji3525]

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.

Yeah right was expecting a good track but pretty cruisy one good little up down. What end were the rocks the Jameson end was the most like a highway. . Also damn pics don't seem to be coming up??

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...!

Hmm turned on WiFi now pictures work lol. . That's a little shelter about 2 K before Jameson River Inn coming from Wrens Flat on the Silvermine Spur track. . Yeah cool spot [emoji106]

Yep that's the one!
My hema shows it as Bob's hut...

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