New Year/ Xmas get together.

G'day Glava Man, finished that bottle off yet?
Wonnangatta is a great little drive in from Licola past Mt Tamboritha and down the mountain into a beautiful valley. You can also come from the Dargo end. Either way it's a nice drive. Ron Moon's book on Bush Tracks of Victoria 3rd edition has the treck notes in it. If you can't find a copy of them, contact me on NOTTHECAPITALSalpaca@riverland.net.auAl Symers

G'day Glayva Man, from the Bendigo side you can get to the Gatta by going through Mansfield, past Clear Hills, Mt Howitt and down Zeka Spur, the other way is from Bright, Buckland Valley, Mt Selwyn and then via Mt Sarah.

Some good driving, great mountains and a nice river to camp by. Good for familys.

I think the first water crossing could be interesting.......

G'day GaryIn Oz, That depends on which way you go in. if you use Zeka Spur there are no crossings at all.

Tony,
Kinda missed that one I think...."us KIWI'S are interested...". Sorry, my poor excuse for a sense of humour!

I to missed the point, you were talking about the big creek (tasman).

Its a great place the land of the long white cloud I mean.

IMHO the Tasman should never be attempted without a snorkel and snatch straps attached front and rear. Once set up give it a good run up and keep your foot down. In no time at all your problems will be over.Laterally Literal

G'day Wombat, yes quite possible to tow a camper into there, let me know which way you are intending to go and I can give you a better idea.

We would be coming from Melbourne - up the Hume freeway. What would you suggest?"Live today as if there may be no tomorrow"

Wombat

Go in via Lake Buffalo and up to Barry Saddle, it's via the West Buffalo Divide Track, T/L at Barry Saddle (to the right is the walking track) then take your first right, this is Riley Creek track, keep to your right on this track until you cross the river and come to a T intersection T/L and head down the valley.

After 7k you come to the Ruins.

The T/O to West Buffalo track is about 40k passed Lake Buffalo entrance.

If you come this way T/O passed Glenrowan and head for Myrtleford when you get to Milawa drop into the cheese factory and pick up some nice cheese. Out of Myrtleford take the Buffalo River Road.

There is a long riverside area with long drop, to the north of the old house site and graveyard, i think that it would meet most people's needs.

There is a area nearby that might be better for thoes with little ones at foot, as it's further away from the water.

what about a van? can you tow a van in there? Mr. Al has told me he may not have to work during that period so we may be able to come along too....Laugh alot..life's too short not to....

Nah I would draw the line at a Camper but a van would be pushing your luck.

cheers Tony, we might head somewhere else then....

have fun...Laugh alot..life's too short not to....
