Source of the Murray River

Thanks Well 55. I now have Hema High country, and it is better. Thanks. Is the walk in clear to follow? How long do you reckon to walk it?
I know that how rough, how steep is too hard to answer, but If the trail is dry, would I need to be winching at all, or is it a straight thru drive? Any river crossings?
As an option, do you know the Limestone Creek Track?
thanks for your help.

You can do the round trip, go in via Cobberas Trail and out via Mcfarlane Flat track, with a couple of creek crossings depth depends on recent rain but usually ok, the track will bring you out north of Suggan Buggan

The walk to Cowombat along the old track is proberly the best way to go than direct to the cairn, it will tack a lot longer and when you get to the flat keep to the right and you will come to the Murray wher you can step over it into NSW, to get to the source follow it up stream for about 1/2 an hour and you will come to a flat area with the spring in it. Make a day of it.

Limestone Creek track has a few steep bits and small creek crossings, you will need to TR down to the Poplars to get to the Murray, this is at a T with Mccarthys

Hello Well 55,
That sounds like a nice trip, either that or your a damn good story teller. Either way, I will copy and paste what you said for a future trip, just something to use as an excuse to get out of the house for a few days.

One thing though, you said that the closest you can drive is the juncton of Cobberas Trail once you get there, the road is closed and its a 3 kms walk, do you know if that last 3 kms is accessable by trail bike? I'm a lazy bugger

Cheers mate and Merry Xmas to you and your family Angelo.I love it when you talk DIRTY !

Get out and walk ! Cokeaddict... it will do you good...3kms is not very far ..surely you are not that lazy...good country air and scenery and you want to mess it up with a trail bike.....amazing !

Thank you for your advice Bruce,
But Ill ride my way. Yes the air is great, I still breath it while riding. I suggest you do what you like doing and I will ride my way when the 4b cant take me any further. If you think you seen some wonderful country, just imagine how much more you may have missed due to walking. I myself have seen some truly amazing things that are usually missed by walkers due to time restrictions. Oh and by the way mate, I am NOT a dirt tosser, I ride my machine very carefully trying to be just a careful as i am when driving offroad as far as damaging places goes.

Have yourself anad your family a great xmas. Angelo I love it when you talk DIRTY !

Angelo, No you can't ride your bike in as it in a restricted access area and only walking allowed. It felt like it was more than 6k's but the body was whinging a bit.ne cede malis
