If its the Vic High - you are talking about (not nsw side) Overlander had a good trip in it a few manths ago, I think Nov or Dec edition (search their site should come up) I am looking at doing it next year as a change to my last few trips.
From Thredbo you will cross at Tom Groggins and then go from there.
Also have a look at the Boilybilly "4WD Tracks of the High Country by Craig Lewis and Cathy Savage, you will find heaps of trek notes covering pretty much all of it (I think it is probably for sale through this site.

Hi Brian
We'll be there (
Vic high country) for
Easter. We don't do much driving I must admit! We stay at the Blue Duck Inn at Anglers Rest (fantastic place with great food), go to the
Omeo Rodeo on Saturday and the cattlemen v. professional polo players polo match (fundraiser with lots of cheating and good fun) at Cobungra Station near
Dinner Plain on Sunday. Bit of time to spare for fishing in the river too. Its a great country weekend. If we are really lucky the cattlemen gather at the Blue Duck before they go up to muster the cattle and bring them off the high plain for the winter.
Look our for the troopy with EO stickers!
Have a great time
Anni

It's taken me 20 years & over 200 trips to see 3/4 of the Victorian High Country tracks so with 4 days ex thredbo I'd suggest you wont get far. I'd start at
Tom Groggin, Mt Pinnabar, then head south east to the
Snowy river. Plenty to see & do for a few days in those areas.
Cheers Craig.............

Brian - just be aware that the NPWS and DSE close many tracks this year on MAY 1st !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We (
Sydney Jeep Club) are heading up to Davies Plain from
Tom Groggin (cross the Murray) and are heading south from there to SugganBuggan and then back up through Willis and back to
Jindabyne. We are doing it from the 6th of April through to the 10th to make sure we don't get the tracks closed on us.
At
Easter time, you should be still OK though - just don't delay the trip after that.
Have a look at the
Davies Plain track on your maps, or the BB publication mentioned. It's one of my favourite tracks in this country. Leave a good three to four days for it.... and don't rush!
