Mt Cobbler to Hotham pics
Here's a few pics of my weekend poking round the bush on my lonesome after picking up the old GQ from Millweld in Mansfield.
Got up to Lake Cobbler in the arvo then did the 4K walk up to the top of Mt Cobbler. Surprised to see a bit of snow up there. Came down the Speculation track and back to camp along the vehicle track.

Never noticed before (only been up there once before) but you can see the lake from the top. Was pretty dark and gloomy but pretty dramatic. Pics don't do it justice really.

Did the walk to the top of the falls then bush bashed down as far as you could go down the spur. Were some pretty good views but lighting as crap with too much contrast an pics look terrible in comparison.

Headed across Goldie Spur track around the back of Mt Buffalo which pretty much follows the power lines through to Whitfield. Heaps of water coming off Buffalo.

Great pics Rossco. I gotta do some tracks out that way one day. Driven down Rose River Road many times to get to Bright. Love it down through the valley there.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
