Trip through the Snowy River region of the Victorian High Country.

I've planned out a basic itinerary, however this may change during the trip based on track difficulty and how fast or slow we get through things. This will generally be a cruisy trip but the tracks will be more difficult compared to previous years. We'll have plenty of time for some camping as well as some well deserved dips in the rivers.

26th Dec 2019:
Melbourne to Jacksons Crossing

This is an Exit Point if you need to go home early.

29th Dec 2019 – 30th Dec 2019:
Today we’ll take Ingeegoodbee Tk to McFarlane Tk and camp somewhere along the way to Native Dog Flat. Then half a day into Native Dog Flat Campground. If it’s busy there we’ll try for a camp along the Limestone Creek instead. We’ll do a quick trip up to the Rams Horn overlooking Native Dog Flat. It provides spectacular views of the surrounding valley.

Ingeegoodbee Tk is rated very difficult, and will require vehicles to have a working winch and all normal recovery gear, recovery points etc

There will be an option for some cars to take a different route to Native Dog Flat via Limestone Creek/Black Mountain Rd if desired and can be discussed once booked.

Camping at Native Dog Flat. We’ll do a day trip down to the Poplars and visit the VIC/NSW border and have a nice rest by the Buchan River.
This is an Exit Point if you need to go home early.

2nd Jan – 4th Jan 2020:
Heading towards Swifts Creek via Native Cat Track, Nunniong Rd, Garron Point Tk, Moscow Hut and finally camping somewhere south of Swifts Creek. Maybe as far south as Tambo Crossing.
