We headed up Haunted Stream in the Vic High Country last weekend. Pity the info for track closures in the high country was difficult to find.

We left the Omeo road - no indication of closed tracks ahead. Stopped at Stirling for morning tea. Hey, still no track closed info. Headed off to Dogtown - just before Dogtown, we are greeted with a Temporary Track Closure sign & a locked gate. No info is given for an alternative route - no date is given for the temporary closure. Interestingly enough, if you wanted to drive around the locked gate, there is a rough track you could take. However, we did the right thing and backtracked to Stirling and headed up the Stirling Road to Angora Road.

I did a search on closed tracks on the Parks Victoria site. I found a High Country Access Strategy pdf. Way down on page 22 (last page) under State forest in the Nowa Nowa - Tambo area, I find the relevant info.

Yes, it states that all tracks south west of Angora Range Road are closed and will re-open by Nov 2008.

Pity I didn't know where the Angora Range Road was before we headed down there, as it wasn't a road we planned to travel on.

Looks like detailed closed track info for the high country is a thing of the past!!
