Andrew, that site is great. Thanks for pointing it out.
Trevor,
We did it as a club trip about 5 years ago, so I'm a bit patchy on the names of the tracks we did. But we camped in the Pyrennes
State Forest, which is an area circled by Landsborough,
Warrenmang, Avoca,
Amphitheatre and Elmhurst. There are plenty of tracks in there. We entered via
Miles Lane which heads south off the Glenlofty-
Warrenmang Rd just to the west of
Warrenmang. From there you're onto
Miles Track, or Clear Patch Track, or Hardy Track and you can take it from there. We camped off Farnsworth track about a kilometer north of the
intersection with Clear patch track.
we also wandered over to the area around Mt Buangor/Mt Cole, but teh tracks we did weren't as adventurous.
The tracks are a bit like the High Country, except the mountains are only half as high and the creeks have no water. But you'll need low range and you'll be scrambling up steep rocky tracks. Wet weather would make things interesting.
Regarding maps, the Auslig 250k don't have the tracks, but will give you a great idea of where you are, and which direction you're heading. The 50k survey maps would be better. I haven't heard of any other good maps of the area.
Cheers
phil
