Brian,
Below is a post from my club's
forum. I was there earlier this year and theses were my thoughts......
Tom Groggin
Located near the start of The
Murray River on the State border just off the Alpine Way. The official camnpsite/picnic area is just off road with fire
places and toilets on the banks of the river. Heading south there are a few more big
places on river then track crosses river and heads back to a hut on Victorian side with another big
campsite. We stayed on NSW side, right on river (10metres) on grassy field with very good swimming hole which was just north from formal
campsite (55h 0601686 5956472). There is a waterfall located at 55h 0601536 5955974 with a small camping area under the trees 100meters from river. 3km south of
Tom Groggin along the Davies Plain Tk is a great
campsite on the Buckwong Ck (55h 060930 5951847) that has to grassy areas either side of the track under the trees
Davies Plain Area
Located in The Alpine National Park in Victoria’s North East south of
Tom Groggin. Tracks in the area are rugged and offer some challenging driving, great
views and some great camping destinations. There are a few camping spots worth a mention in the area including:
*Charlies Ck Camping area is on The Davies Plain Tk on a grassy area near a small
running creek. There is a pit
toilet and enough room for a large group. (55h 594908 5934061)
*The Poplars is the closest place you can get a vehicle to the start of the
Murray river. It is located just 2km from the main track and opens up into a big area on the banks of the river. (55h 598679 59289977)
*
Limestone Ck Camping area is a very big grassy area on the banks of
Limestone Ck. With a pit
toilet. (55h 593933 5920478)
*Davies Plain Hut is located on a huge grassy area on top of the mountain by a stream. It has a pit
toilet, 5 BBQ plate fire
places, stock yards and the cleanest hut we have seen. It is
well worth a visit if you’re in the area. (55h 600485 5943022)
Not realy there but...
McKillops Bridge
Located in the
Snowy River National Park in Victorias east is McKillops Bridge which is an area great for for white water rafting and fishing as
well as swimming in the very warm
Snowy river. There are also some walks for the more adventorous.
Well the official
campsite is located on the rocky side of the
hill 100m from the river and is definately not "GREAT . However, we found a better
campsite 1km east of the bridge called Bull Flat
Camp ground (55h 626432 5894726). It is on the banks of the Deddick River and has a pit
toilet.
The general area is very steep and the 25km trip in from Seldem Seen, has an 11km section of single lane track that has a sheer drop on 1 side. There are some lookouts along the road on the way in that would be worth a look after some rain as the rivers flow with greater force. The bridge was built many years ago and is is
well worth a look. (Look at the photos rather than taking the long, way out of the way, trip in there.)
Any way check out
