What a differance a day makes.
The first 5 days in the Victorian High Country , cold mornings clear blue skies and a top of 25c and lots of dust.
Day 6 overcast and light rain all day, 10c
Day 7 Packed up in the light rain and made our way out of
Talbotville. We used
the Brewery Creek Road and made a steady climb from 380mt to 1000mt when we saw our first sight of snow. Once we got to Ritchie Road (1200mt) the snow was covering the track, and we were the first to drive on it.
If any one has been on the
Dargo High Plains road you will know it is a good dirt road with open fields on either sides,
well this and the road we were on was covered in 18" of snow. In all we drove about 50km of snow covered tracks.
This would have to be the best way to finish a trip in that area.
