camp area at the bottom while steep can be travelled in a standard pajero/prado with road tyres

Yep the track itself shouldn't be used as a car park afterall!
Anyway, went to the high country, wasn't able to get to blue rag, however we did find an 'interesting' track.
Kings Plain Track which is off
Davies Plain Track down to the
Murray River. In fact when we saw the
sign 'dry weather only' we thought 'why'?
As it turned out yes it was suitable for dry weather only. It was steep, rocky with tree roots & heaps of bulldust which would have turned to instant mud with any sort of moisture. Huge contour banks that had evidence of failed attemps to climb as they had big chunks taken out of then from spinning wheels. The effect is that it makes the countour bank a lot steeper which threatened to rip off my side boards on several occasions. Still a very enjoyable 1/2 hr down & 1/2 back up again.
I recomend a little lift & some off road tyres for this track.

The last time I was down there on a weekend in June, it snowed. Had to put chains on to get out.

Took a friend down there with thier TVan a while back. The 03 fires certainly cleared that area out. I hope there is a bit more shade now!
