Hi MH
Firstly she is brand new so I wanted one or two forums which she can scan and monitor or join if she wants. I believe from the responses so far that good old reliable Exploroz.com and CMCA will be a good start.
The high country. Bloody dusty. Not being the leader and there being a lack of rain the tracks were extra dry and "lotsadust" lived everywhere. Also they chose some bad timing - long weekend in Victoria and with us enetering the alpine area via
Mansfield we wore the blunt of it. The traffic was like Pitt Street - oooops I should say Collins Street. The first night at Sheepyard Flat, the
camp ground was heavily crowded. But we found a corner and enjoyed the usual banter. From then it started to thin out somewhat until Monday evening when we had Bendaree Hut to ourselves and pretty much the same with the other huts. However we had a flat yesterday and took the better part of valour and left the group and came
home. Not a good place to be running rarely used rocky and slippery tracks with no spare. Next year we can finish the trip.
The
home shower was the most welcome part of today. We had inches of dust on the car and all over us. Add the mud from a few rough water crossings and it's a wonder the cops didn't send us back to wash first.
Butttt Always better than gardening.
Take care and thanks for the response.
Phil
