Well guys - sort of did some of the trip :-)
Thanks to all that replied to my original request
Left Wagga late Friday night and headed South- those of you who know me will realise that I dont always stick to the game plan :-)
Anyway ended up closer to
Melbourne than Thredbo and parked up in a truck stop and re-grouped early Sat morning and punched in Thredbo Village into computer and after lots of side trips (I just can't resist all the signs that say - Historic this or that )
I ened up late Sat afternoon at Geehi campsite. What a nice area, parked up right by the river and settled in for the night. Woken up at about 5:00am with the rain belting down.
Breakfats Sunday morning and up and over the hill to finally find Tom Groggan campsite.
Ended up crossing the Murray River and into the Alpine National park on a nice little fire trail - crossed the Buckwong Creek and had a break in the little
camping area just across from the crossing - back onto the trail again for about 2 hours through a couple of locked gates that weren't.
Met a convoy of about 6 vehicles being lead by an Adventure 4 Wheel Drive guy. Didnt get to the end of the trail as I turned around and headed back as t was late morning and I needed to be back in Wagga by 3:00pm
- Left Tom Groggan at 11:30am and got back to Wagga right on 3:00pm
Will definitely go back there again but next time I will go straight t Tom Groggan :-) instead of 'sight seeing' in
Melbourne :-))))
I have posted a few pics on my website if you are interested

Hey Baz
Actually not sure of the answers 2 yr questions - all I know is I drove into Tom Groggan campsite and ended up at the bottom where the road crosses the Murray. Drove over this crossing (water only came up to running boars) and onto bank other side.
There was a "T" intersection left went away from Tom Groggan and up a hill to an unlocked '
locked gate'. If I had turned right I belive the road would have taken me to Tom Groggan Station (from memory a sign said something like "If the crossing is too deep then you can exit from TG station but you MUST have permission before doing so) I rememebr thinking "well how do I know the crossing is too deep before I get there and even if I did how would I contact TG station?????) - anyway I turned left at that intersection so I never had to answer the question :-)
I didnt see any Hut at the Buckwong clearing - just a fireplace and a table and chair
Had a grea time - noting too difficult - some great scenery - just what my spirit was looking for
WILL DEFINITELY DO IT AGAIN - bfore the snows come and/or before the road closure period :-))
