Hi all

Wife and I have just completed our first 2 weeks of our around Oz trek. Started out from Melbourne to Mildura and a tour of the Murray. Beautiful countryside.

We, or I then made the mistake of travelling from Wagga Wagga to Merimbula via the Snowy Mountains Highway. If anyone was considering doing this trip in this direction pulling a 3.5T van, maybe rethink your plans.

The stretch from Tumut to Cooma and the up hill part immediately after the junction of SMH and Link Rd is particularly tricky, very steep, windy and climbs for approx. 10K's.

The portable traffic light half way up for roadworks didn't help either.

Hope to see some of the members on the road during our trek.

Happy travels to all.
