Vic High Country Track Conditions

Hi hans was up at Dargo and talbotville last weekend most tracks were good and we did get around 20mm of rain the rivers around the area were still passable.

Davies Plain Track won't open till end of November. Mt Pinnibar can be ok or bad depending on the recent conditions and the last time it was graded

Call Parks Vic and ask for the ranger at the Omeo office. They are great and will call you back if they aren't in. It may take a few days if they are out and about though. Direct is 03 5159 0600

No one will have been on most of those tracks recently as they are currently closed. As said Davies Plain wont be open for at least another 6 weeks (more if it keeps raining) & the climb out of Tom Groggin given any rain at all will be very slippery requiring mud tyres & a winch. As with any High Country trip on opening weekend take a decent chainsaw as there will be heaps of trees down this season.

G'day Hans, the Davies Plains Track will be opened as posted on the Parks site, subject to funding for some Bulldozer work. Check with Tom Groggin Station and Omeo Tourism, they should be able to help. The Ranger at Omeo has been re-allocated to other duties.

Subject to local advice at the time you should be right. The westerly routes via Pinnibar should work as an alternative. The Murray Crossing at Dogmans Hut may need a boat if the rain doesn't ease up.
