Call Parks Dargo office a week or so before you leave. They sometimes take a few days to get back to you but will have a pretty good idea. They use the bridge in Dargo as a reference guide for what is crossable upstream.

Hey Dave,
I was up there a couple of months ago and Tea Tree track has been closed off. Found it overgrown and barricaded off with earth mounds at the start of the track up on the ridge.

Had to back track and use the tracks into Wonangatta to get back to Dargo.

Cheers

hi muddy was at talbotville 2 weeks ago the river crossing at talbotville was not deep at all as was a lot of the crossing on crooked river.

Thanks for the advice, most helpful.

We are planning to do the full Loop in 2 weeks, Dargo Talbotville, Wonnangatta, Zeka, Howitt and down Billy Goat. Well that's the plan, accompanied with contact numbers for local info near the time.
The whole East Gippsland region has experienced wild weather with floods and trees down (see "River Levels") so while we have a 4WD not a boat a contingency plan is ready. Hopefully it will fine up, Fallen tree's cleared off, rivers recede and the BBQ lit :)

As Ned said, "Such is life"

Cheers

FYI The word from ParksVic rangers is that tree falls in Gippsland are no worse than normal this year so while track clearing is continuing we can expect *in general* that seasonally closed tracks will open by Cup Day weekend.

Good news Sigmund,
I've received info that Davies Plain, where we go early December and not that far away from Wonna', had 1300mm of rain this winter and discussions would take place with Wayne (Tom Groggin) and Parks re Davies Plains Track Bulldozer repair - all Funds dependant.
River markers are were 2.6m at Dargo and just over 2m near Crooked River.
I was advised by locals to take plenty of sharp chains and water-wings :)
Hopefully a fortnight will see some sun out

Might have to send David M an invoice for any Track Clearing I may have to do ;)

Cheers
