Join Arron and Club 4×4 on a winter wonderland trip to Mt Blue Rag. What a better time to go and visit one of the iconic tracks in our High Country than in Winter (well close enough!) before the closures set in.
Itinerary
The plan will be to venture to Bright on Friday night and stay in the vicinity before heading to Mt Blue Rag on Saturday. We will then take in some tracks to the west of Harrietville and camp in the Buckland Valley. On Sunday we will check out some tracks in the Buckland before heading home. Should be a cold, but enjoyable weekend.
