We are looking for an interesting way to travel from Melb to the
Flinders Ranges via
Mildura. We want to get off the beaten track a bit - any good spots to
camp and visit on the way. Leaving
Melbourne on 17th May so not far away.

How about going out through
Wyperfeld National Park. Second option is to go up the Calder to Hattah and into the Murray
Kulkyne and
camp along the river. Another option, turn left at
Ouyen and out to Underbool and then head into the
Pink Lakes. Wend you way through the Murray Sunset towards Last Hope Tank and then east out to Hattah and either left to
Mildura or head straight into the Hattah
Kulkyne as above and then wend your way back through Colignan & Nangiloc to Redcliffs (Past Lindemans Winery so stop in a refresh supplies ;-)

Cheers Mick
P.S. Don't turn right onto the Raak Plain LOL

Melbourne,Euchua, follow the Murray to
Mildura, out to
Mungo National Park,
Menindee Lakes then to
Broken Hill, west to
Yunta, then right towards
Lake Frome and across to the
Flinders Ranges.

Hi Baz - have looked at that route on the Map and it seems to be a great option getting us up to the Flinders Range and Arkaroola - we just hope that the roads are all open towards
Birdsville when we get up that far. Thanks

Just below St Arnaud on the Sunrasia Hwy -
Teddington Reservoir campground - excellent spot - was there about 3 weeks back - birds, roos, fresh air - plenty of firewood laying around - a great overnighter.
Lake Hattah should be worth the visit too, seeing there is water in the lakes now - when there a few years back, it was totally parched.

Great camping in the
Little Desert National Park by the river near Dimboola. Some awesome exploring there too. You could
check out the
Grampians on the way.

If your looking for a nice
campsite and nearby bush 4wding , then ->
Camping at Glenpatrick Reserve in the lovely Pyrenees Ranges, just north of Elmhurst between
Ararat and Avoca on
the Pyrenees Highway.
(1 hr from
Ballarat)
Its the site of annual exploroz Vic gathering organized by Bonz as listed currently under members trips.
I'd then continue up thru Wyperfield at another free campsits like Big Billy etc
to
Mildura , then kick of with a stop In Dangali - but thats in S Australia so you may have to watch out for Yabbawocks.
