Comment: High Country - Corryong to Omeo

I did this trip two weeks ago..a fair bit of gravel road..a few tight turns..and the odd log truck..but i can,t remember any river crossing..and i towed a caravan..behind the new ford ranger..i was in 2wd the whole way....absolutely beautiful country..if your looking for some where to camp..nariel was great..also a great spot just south of swift creek..these are free camp sites..

...by the way we would be looking to head up there in early March

River Crossing??????

Philby can you be more specific? There are no river crossings on th emain route.

Hullo Philby
My guess is that the people above are assuming you will take the road via Sassafras Gap, which as some have said, would present no problems for an AWD.
However, your mentioning of the river crossing and the fact that the article next to your post is about the Tom Groggin track and then south via either through Davies Plain or Mt Pinnibar suggests you are talking about the crossing of the Murray River at Tom Groggin.
If this is so, my opinion, for what its worth, would be that an AWD would not be suitable. But no doubt there will be others who might say it would be a piece of cake - presumably so long as it isn't their cake :-)
Secondly, the parks and forests in that region are very dry at the moment. Electrical storms can appear with very little notice and start fires which, with high temps and winds, can present a real danger, even for those with a lot of experience of the area.
I have put off my own trip to this area until late March/early April.

Once again thanks all for your replies! I look forward to this drive mid-March
