High Country

Arm yourself with a good map one like the Hema High Country, and use Fry's hut as a base to do day trips or if you can overnighters without the camper.

Once you have seen all you want to see there, move over to Talbotville, and do the same sort of thing there.

Getting around a lot of the High Country with a camper is not all that easy, and you would enjoy it more setting up a base to do your exploring from.

Thanks guys for the advice looking forward to exploring the area. Will be there end of Nov early December. Cheers Mike

Mike we drove through the high country last Christmas and loved it, we took a tent which was much easier than towing through there. As mentioned in a previous post used a rooftop map (Dargo - Howitt Plains)

We went in through Sheepyard flats which is about 20k's off the Mansfield-Mt Bulla Road then took Brocks Road to Mt Howett Carpark.

Drove down Zeka Spur Track into Wonnagatta Station which is a big open flat area on the Wonnagatta River.

From there We travelled out the Wonnagatta Track, Herne Spur Track, Wombat Range Track, Cynthia Range Track & Crooked River Track to Talbotville which is another great camping area on the Crooked River.

From there to Dargo and back into the hills on the Crooked River Road, Billy Goat Bluff Track. Went to the Pinnacles Lookout for a great view of the high country.

From there along the Moroka Road, Mt Howitt Road and back down Brocks Road to Sheepyard Flat .

Was a great round trip with several river crossings and very steep climbs/descent's. Allow yourselves plenty of time and even though it is quite busy at that time of year it is still worth the trip for the great country and the experience.
