My wife and I will hopefully be camping a night or two at either
geehi or
tom groggin at some stage just after
easter. From what I have learnt through the
forum search function
Geehi sounds like a pretty good place to set up
camp. Of course, the further away from the crowds we are the better. Can anybody suggest a
camp site in these areas that might be suitable, and away from the most popular spots.
Cheers
Mick

If it's not holiday periods either should be fine. They are large areas and both are good.
Geehi probably offers a little more to explore in the immediate surround with the huts.
The other alternative is to cross the Murray at
Tom Groggin and turn either right and go to the
Doggers Hut or left up the
Davies Plain Track for a short distance to the Buckwong Ck
Camping area. Both are more secluded than either of the others you mention.
The Murray crossing at
Tom Groggin didn't even wet the side steps a few weeks ago.
I'll be there ANZAC Day weekend. Might see you round.

"

Yup - one of our favourite spots to
camp. Two areas - an upper and lower divided by the road. Plenty of room and water close by.

Buckwong Ck is pleasant, but no
toilet there.
Camping on the Vic side of
Tom Groggin is nowhere near as good as the NSW side.
Geehi valley is lovely. If the area by the Alpine way is too crowded, go past the
Geehi hut, ford the Swampy Plains river, and try further along. Some beaut campsites there near some of the other huts (some with facilities).

You might see a white Jackaroo towing a Campomatic in that region around then - say g'day.

A new sched planned? What time slot?
"VKS737 Davies Plain Base this is Victor 632, Victor 632 over...."
21-25 April Darian, you should be able to get me on Ch 5. I dare say I'll be on Selcal Scan most of the time, and if not I'll be sitting on Ch 2.

Geehi is one of our favourite spots to
camp. Lots to explore, a great view of the mountain range from your tent door. Lots of kangas and trout in the stream. Take your fishing rod. A good place to
camp during the week before the hoons arrive there for the week end!
