Day trip from Marysville?

Tony is Blue Range and Quartz Creek roads the road between Marysville and Rubicon. Maybe I should get a better map instead of my road atlas. Could you suggest one. Green Hill track isnt in any of my maps either. I drive a 2000 prado vx with traction control and standard Grandtrecks and possibly a working 9500lb winch by then.
Thankyou.

Hi again Boris.
I reckon that the Rooftop series of maps are best for the Victorian mountains. The double sided big River - Rubicon - Woods Point Forest Activities Map covers this area. They are available from the ExplorOZ shop, Site Link but due to time constraints for you, maybe best to visit the Melbourne Map shop. ARB may also stock the maps. I also have the digital versions that I use with OziExplorer CE on my PDA.
Blue Range Rd goes from Mt Margret Gap to Rubicon. Lady Talbot Drive (closed) goes from Marysville to Mt Margret Gap. Mt Margret can also be accessed from the Marysville to Buxton Rd - sign posted Mt Margret and not Keppel lane, not far from Buxton. The Green Hill is North West of Mt Margret Gap
Quartz Creek Rd heads roughly East from the Blue Range Rd to the Royston River Rd
Take a shovel - very handy & good for bulk snowman creations.
New winch or repair to existing?
I have an ARB winch bar sitting in my garage ready for fitting, just waiting for the winch. I am getting a new series Iron Man that should be available in a few weeks.
I monitor UHF 15 & use the other UHF on scan so may hear you up there?
We will also pay a visit to the Blueberry farm / winery between Narbethong & Buxton. Should be a relatively tame weekend.

Tony I just bought a winch from Aldi for $299 but without a roller fairlead and today I received via Aussie Post a fairlead from a gentleman that goes by the name of Roachie(SA) on this site. Got that as a bargain too cause it came with evidence of its history and experiences that Roachie has had when it was used with his Warn winch. All my mates will look like amateurs next to me cause their fairleads are still shiny from lack of use and experiences. And I reckon it will even outlast the shiny ones, I'm proud to have it. Hopefully I'll finish fitting it to an ARB Sahara bar on Saturday. The winery sounds good. May even see you there I'll pick up a couple of bottles of red for the trip and I'll keep an ear out for you. We have an ARB and a Mapshop here in Geelong so I think I'll find the map somewhere so I can plan the trip a bit more.
Thanks for your help so far.
Boris

As Tony says go Rooftop maps, you can get them in both Marysville and at Buxton Igloo roadhouse just on north of Buxton.

Drive up the the Mt Margret rd between Buxton and Marysville for free snow
