Note: A user has advised ExplorOz that the turnoff to Quarry Road no longer exists but that you can still make your way through to Marginal Rd....

Another walking track to the right is Myrtle Gully, this takes you to the carpark at Tanglefoot Picnic Area which you will soon drive past. Take the right hand bend onto Syliva Creek Rd and you pass another information board for a rainforest walk.

Past the Tanglefoot Carpark turn left into Kalatha Rd .

Past Murrindindi, its just a few kilometres to the Black Range State Forest. There are quite a few side tracks so it might be worthwhile to have a good map with you.

Out of Alexandra take the Goulburn Valley Hwy, the Fraser National Park is to your left. The camping areas at Candlebark, Devil Cove and Lakeside all have flush toilets and hot showers but not power. Bookings are essential for peak periods. Walks in the park lead you around the lake edge or onto the ridges from where there are magnificent views of Lake Eildon and surrounds. Autumn is especially scenic with willows and golden poplars.

Thornton is located near the south-western end of Lake Eildon. A fish hatchery and fish research centre will explain much of the project to visitors. The main camping area within the Lake Eildon NP is at Jerusalem Creek. Drive 10km east of Eildon along Old Jamieson Road. The basic camping spots on the southern boundary of the park are reached by turning off the Goulburn Valley Hwy, 5km before Eildon, into the Eildon-Jamieson Rd. From the Jerusalem Creek camping area, you can take the Sheoak Creek Nature Walk, which follows the creek for 2km. Other walks offering attractive views include the Pinnacles, Rocky Spur to Cable Track and Wilson's Track.

Head out of Thornton onto Skyline Road.

Mansfield is a junction for many trips in the Victorian High Country. You can head NW to Benalla, NE to Tomi and Mt Buller or south to Jamieson, continuing the loop around Lake Eildon.

South of Jamieson you will need to check road conditions as this trek involves the notorious Mt Terrible Track. Do not attempt this track after rain and it is best to travel in convoy through this section. The track is generally closed from 13 June - 31 October and is steep and rocky.
The bypass route is to head south to the Triangle then west to Cambraville. It would be a shame to miss the Mt Terrible Track so try to plan this trip to avoid bad weather. There are numerous campsites and picnic areas around the 25 Mile Creek, Big Bend Creek, Frenchman's Creek and Big River all with great views and few facilities.

The Cumberland Memorial Scenic Reserve is a picnic area with relics of an old sawmill and the Cambraville township. 1km from her is the Big Culvert historic site and a walking track on the left. As an alternative to heading straight to Marysville, turn right at signpost to Lake Mountain and onto bitumen. There are more picnic areas along here and the Myrtle Loop Walking Track near Keppel Falls (just across the highway from the Myrtle Gully walk to the Tanglefoot Reserve. At Keppel Falls Lookout there are great views to the Taggerty River. Other falls in the region are Phantom Falls and Steavenson Falls just past Marysville.
