Some worth while spots to see........Mt Pinnabar. Snowy river/Deddick trail. Haunted stream & Cassilis historic area.
Pinnacles lookout via Billy Goat track. The Sentinals. Caledonia river, Butcher Country.
Blue Rag Range. Mt Murray/Mt Selwyn.
Dargo Pub. Grant historic area. Crooked river. Cynthia range to Wonnangatta.
Lake Cobbler. Mt Stirling & associated cattlemen huts. King Billy track/
view point.
Mitchell station. Mt Terrible.
Woods Point pub to Walhala. (challenging tracks in area)
These are just a starting list and as mentioned before although Victoria is compact compared to other states you certainly wont get around all that in 10 days. Options are to do the tracks from the Murray accross as far as Wonnangatta or Start around
Dargo & head over towards
Mansfield &
Woods Point or do the bit in the middle.
If you like short walks, Mt
Bogong, Mt Feathertop,
Lake Tali Karng, Mt Buffalo are excellent although mostly a little black at the moment.
I wont list
great camp sites for fear of overcowding them but there are heaps of excellent
free camping sites along the majority of Victoria's High country rivers & you just pull up when you need to. Alternatively pull up above the snow line (1400m) & it will be 10+ degrees cooler than down in the valleys.
The best maps of the High Country for 4x4 touring are the Rooftop series although not yet available down the
Murray river end. They show all the best
camp sites, historic areas, view points with some handy notes on each area.
Tracks effected by the fires should almost all be open by Feb 08.
Any specific info on an area just slip in another post.
