| Location and/or Description of Trip (Itinerary): | A weekend to visit some iconic mountains of the High Country.
Departing on Friday evening, we will head to AH Youngs or Shippens Flat in the Buckland Valley near Bright.
On Saturday we will climb Mt Murray and Mt Blue Rag. Trekking down Basalt Knob toward Talbotville will take us through a very steep, loose section of track heading into the camp at Eaglevale, where we will stay for the night.
On Sunday we will tackle Billy Goat, visit The Pinnacles and Mt Kent and return via either the Moroka Rd to Licola, or south towards Briagolong.
This trip will have a big day of driving on Saturday on some steep, loose tracks; so it takes a really well prepared vehicle.

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.
Check the weather and dress appropriately.
