Victoria High Country

Hi Alfred,
welcome to the site mate. I was down there last year. What a place.
There are so many places to see, all depends how much time you are there for. I originally went down for a few days and ended up staying for 3 weeks. Went in there alone, some tracks were scary though as i didnt have backup if something happened. But i got through it ok...just.
there are books available which tell you the tracks, used one and planned my trip before i left home. Mapped my route out so i didnt backtrack anywhere and waste time.
The book i recoment is called 4wd tracks of the High Country by Craig Lewis and Cathy Savage....its well detailed and was a great help. One track i enjoyed very much was called the Haunted Stream, it had heaps of river crossings which is what i enjoy most. Stayed in the huts overnight when possible, saved setting up the tent.
Some other track to think about are
craigs hut and My Stirling
Wombat Ample
Mount Pinnibar
Davies Planes
but there are heaps more....bets way is to get the book.
Tells you everything u need to know about each track. trip meter setting if u wnat to use the book as ur guide etc.

Hpe u enjoy the trip. Ill be heading abck down there some time this year if time allows. Still lots i havent seen. This time, ill be with others as its not the place to be alone.
Regards angelo

G'day Alfred, Good to see you heading down to the Vic High Country, You'll Love it. I was there last week end, in particular Talbotville, Millers hut, ( for camping) and the pinnicles, butcher country ridge ( for must do dracks/views) Areas not to miss (from this section)- The pinnicles and ranger station, Gunn creek track, millers hut track.

The majority of tracks in that area are all in What I call "excellent condition", as you may recall, we had some pretty big fires through those parts just over twelve months ago, and the Govt. has seen fit to grade and bulldoze a lot of the tracks for fire management puposes. ( a good thing from that respect I guess.)

The scenery is breathtaking, but the devastation of the fires is still very evident. - however it's amazing to see how the bush regenerates.

Other tracks I recall in the area not to miss are Pinnibar (as you have mentioned), Wheelers creek Track/hut and Zulu creek track ( good little river crossing here).

Enjoy your visit, Stay off the clutch!!!

Jarrod.

Have a look at McKillops bridge on the Snowy river and the Dedick trail. Craig.......
