Could you do Berwick - Dargo - Wonangatta in a day and home in a day? 24hours maybe depending on conditions. Wouldnt like it to be me. On the weekend we did Langy - Dargo - Talbotville (5pm arrive camp1), Wonangatta (2pm arrive - 1/2 day drive camp2), Heyfield (via Licola, 3pm arrive camp3), then home next day. this was all fairly easy going and photo takin + seeing sights...

You can do in a day Mansfield, - Sheepyard Flat, up and see a few huts round the high country, but your talkin a very long day heading home after that. If you can start in Sheepyard Flat in the AM, you can get the huts of high country maps, and you could do some of them and home, or if your keen for another 24 hr straight drive, you could do them all in 1 day, but would see some in the dark. But that wouldnt allow much time to see things, and safety would be left at home.

We have done several day trips up to Mansfield-Jamieson-Mt Skene and Return (Im only 20mins from berwick), but not much really to see if theres no snow...

IMWO, probably not worth attempting in 1 day.

Gaz, I just did Geelong-High Country-Geelong in a day and have the track printed on a jpg, if you like to see where, went around Mt Stirling/Lake Cobbler/Kng River and Craigs Hut, left Geelong at 0600 and back home at 2130 so its doable, pretty relaxed day too, have done it twice. If you want to see where we went email me, mines behind my number plate pic.

Gazza about what date did you come down gun shot.
We spent about 2 hours refashioning the entrance into gunshot and it was a lot different to your picture.
Last year a 4wd tried to come down on the left of you and rolled it they must have had it on film and it was sent into one of those funniest home vidieo shows saw it a few weeks back.

All the best
Eric

Hi GazzaS,
Rather than having too big a day why not head up through Walhalla which is a great little historical town and close enough to Berwick.Some of the four wheel driving just north of there is absolutely brilliant.Spend the ten bucks for rooftops Walhalla-Woods Point adventure map and after morning tea in Walhalla head north through Fords crossing.Make your way towards White Star track,McGuire Track,O'Keefe Track,Sullivans Track,Donnelly Creek Track and later don't forget Pluto Track.The area is sensational with many river crossings.Give Spud Spur Track a miss unless you have lockers as the last 40 metres at the top is really steep and tough.After exploring this area and the many brilliant camping areas you will be in Woods Point for a beer before heading home .The country in there is amazing and will leave any Queensland visitor suitably impressed.
Cheers Mark
