this will no doubt cause some controversy, so let the hate mail begin! I believe the best Victorian High Country view is a tie between Blue Rag and Craig’s Hut. Craig’s Hut at sunset is a photographer’s paradise, as the post and rail fence line draws the eye first to the beautiful hut, and then on to the surrounding ranges. But then when you contra...
Dandongadale Falls isn’t the sort of place that most people talk about around the campfire – and that’s possibly because they drive straight past. Located near Lake Cobbler and down a few hundred metres of bush track, Dandongadale Falls is quite impressive. For a start, it boasts Victoria’s longest single drop waterfall (255m), but the natural padd...
Gee, another tough one. Lovick’s Hut, King Hut, Craig’s Hut – the list goes on and on. What’s not to love about these roughly constructed bush shelters? I’ll give the gong here to Bluff Hut, maintained by the Stoney family. A superb tin hut built to withstand the fire season (with a really unique gutter design), and a great view out the front. It’s...
Let’s face it, Australia is pretty damn flat. So when you’re forced to drive kilometre after kilometre down into steep valleys, your brakes will really start to feel the heat. Engine braking is required, so pick the lowest gear your transfer case will offer, and grind your way down. If you are towing a camper trailer, take extra precautions, and co...
The Man From Snowy River1 & 2 are essential viewing. And thanks to cut-price DVDs at big retailers, they’re not hard to find, either. Both films stand the test of time, and will really get you in the mood for that gorgeous steep terrain that you’re about to encounter. A good mate of mine Garry Doyle plays these films through a projector and onto a ...
With its famous ‘Raspberry Grenade’, a great-tasting beer flavoured with a hint of local raspberries, the Jamieson Brewery is a hard pub to pass. Although in a literal sense, you could actually miss it, as it’s perched just off the main road between Mansfield and Jamieson. On the other side of the range is the Dargo Hotel, est 1898. This is a class...
Talbotville would have to be a front-runner as the most popular site for families, but with its history and misty mountain scenery, I’d have to give the award to the Wonnangatta Valley. Not to mention there is no ‘fast’ way in to the Wonnangatta, it’s low range for hours in and out. In fact, it’s around six hours of low range to get back out to Man...
If I want to impress someone, the Blue Rag Range track is short, exhilarating and not too far up the road from Mt Hotham. And as already mentioned, the view from the top is mind-blowing. But then there’s Zeka Spur, Billy Goat Bluff, and the list goes on. Choosing just one great track in the high country verges on a criminal act!
Given the Victorian High Country 4X4 tracks are closed from early June to late October, that narrows down at least some parts of the year. The most popular (read: crowded) times to go are over the Christmas holidays and the Easter Holidays. So if crowds don’t bother you, then go for it. But of course, you are in the mountains, so expect the unexpec...
The Rooftop seriesof maps give you a nice, detailed view of the Victorian High Country. But there’s nothing quite like unfolding HEMA’s High Country map to plan your trip. You’ll have the region on one map, and you’ll be able to plan each and every stop. Just be careful though, as what looks like a 1 hour drive can turn into much, much longer thank...
Oct 7, 2023 · There’s a reason that the Victorian High Country is known as one of the best 4WD destinations in Australia. It’s certainly got the most number of 4WD tracks I’ve ever seen in such an area, and I honestly think you could spend two to three months doing them all. There are more 4WD tracks in the Victorian High Country than you know what to do with.
May 3, 2018 · A narrow track that crests some of the highest parts of the High Country, you’ll arrive at the Blue Rag trig point. The track is steep in parts, and scrabbly in others, but is in generally pretty good condition.
