Departing on Friday evening, we will head to Ah Youngs campground in the Buckland Valley near Bright before a full day of driving on Saturday.

The aim is to take in the two iconic peaks of the central High Country in Mt Blue Rag and Billy Goat Bluff along with a hidden gem of Mt Murray. Trekking down Basalt Knob toward Talbotville will take in a very steep, loose section of track heading into the camp at Eaglevale on Saturday night.

Sunday will be a more cruisy day with the trip finishing somewhere on the Dargo High Plains road and those wishing to head home via Sale/Traralgon can, those wishing to head home via Bright can also.

This trip will have a big day of driving on Saturday on some steep, loose tracks; so it takes a really well prepared vehicle. The last fuel stop Friday night will be Glenrowan and closest upon return will be Bright (unless travelling home via Dargo). Estimated around 400-500km return.

Recovery gear and rated recovery points as per the club rules.

All terrain or mud tyres a must due to the steep and loose terrain as is a snorkel because of river crossings. Driver experience is crucial as we are driving some of the steepest tracks in Australia.

There will be facilities at both campsites and hopefully they won't be busy. Please bring enough food, water, camping equipment and fuel for 2 full days of driving in the High Country.

We are going into the High Country so please also check the weather and dress appropriately.
