Description of Mount Blue Rag
On the way out via the Dargo High Plains Rd you can take a challenging but spectacular ridge top run out the Blue Rag Range to the
Blue Rag Trig Point. An amazing track that crests a ridge with staggering drops to both sides in
places of a thousand feet to the valleys below, this is possibly the best ridge top drive in the state. The trig point at 1718m ASL provides a 360 degree panorama of the country recently travelled and of Hotham, Feathertop and the Bogong complex. The bushfire damage to the snowgums here will be a stark reminder of their ferocity in 2003 for many years to come, as the regrowth will be a reminder of the tenacity of the snowgums as the 400-500 year old tubers under the soil sprout again at the base of the dead trees, repeating a cycle they may have already undertaken 7-8 times in their lifespan.
One of the best tracks you will find in the high country, the scenery is just magnificent.
Did the track on 14th March 2008 track is in excellent condition but a little rough at the end to the top. Macca
