Hi Dennis,

I have installed a great new alloy cargo platform in my 200 Series. We keep our two bikes in there permanently.

Elvis the Bushtracker went great in the High Country. We went from Buchan to Omeo on the Limestone Road. Unhitched in Omeo for three days and did some drives and walks in the area.

Then went to Dargo on the Birregun Road - went on a Sunday to avoid meeting logging trucks. No sweat, except had to clear a fallen tree to get through. Had an unpluggable flat tyre at Dogs Grave too.

After Dargo, we camped at Grant for the night - beautiful spot, all to ourselves. Unhitched next day and drove down to Talbotville. I love all those old gold mining areas as I am an avid gold prospector.

From Grant we took the Dargo High Plains Road North to Hotham. Now where at Beechworth touring all the vineyards. Off to Rutherglen tomorrow.

So we did not tackle any challenging tracks, just had a relaxing week.
I am guessing you would have been a bit more adventurous with your little Tvan. We actually saw a Tvan near Grant and I can remember telling my wife they were the best camper for serious four wheel driving
adventures.

Cheers,

Willie.

Reflecting on your gold prospecting interest, one of the day trips involved a trip down Machinery Spur north of Mt Hotham to the only remaining high country operating gold mine called Red Robin Mine.( this is a closed track only opened by Parks for the Beyond Hotham event)
We also walked to various huts at the bottom of the spur.
This was a day of great interest to all who participated.
