    Mt Freezeout

    11 февраля 2024 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    After a quick shop in Bright we head back on to Great Alpine Road towards Mt Hotham but turn off about 10kms before MH on to the Dargo High Plains Road. A quick stop at Mt Freezeout where we had camped 2 years ago, and stopped for lunch about a kilometre further on.Читать далее

    Mt Blue Rag Track

    11 февраля 2024 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    The Blue Rag Range Track is one of the Victorian High Country’s most iconic and spectacular tracks off the Dargo High Plains Road. This remote track offers epic climbs and descents that lead to the Blue Rag Range trig point. Its very steep and rocky in parts climbing to 1728m. This often hairy track is mainly narrow which limits places to pull over for oncoming vehicles to pass. Passed about a dozen cars, but once at the top we were on our own. The trip back was easier with no need to pull over for anyone.Читать далее

    Lankey Plain Hut

    12 февраля 2024 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    200m east of the junction of the King Spur Track with the Dargo Road on Omeo Plain.

    This hut was probably built by the Treasure family in about 1951, after they took over the lease from the Gow family, who held it from 1888.Читать далее

    Dargo

    12 февраля 2024 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    Dargo is known for its groves of century-old walnut trees that line the valley floor.
    A quaint village with its 1898 pub, general store and church and a population of about 105. Although a minor gold rush was experienced in the mid 1800s, the town was primarily a resting place and later a supply town for miners on their way to the Grant, Talbotville and Crooked River goldfields nearby.
    This was where I had to visit the bush nurse 20 years ago just to get some Zyrtec - it took 20 minutes to get a non prescription medication for hayfever!!

    Omeo

    12 февраля 2024 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    Long day of driving today, having to take the long way around to avoid the heatwave. We’ve decided to head up to Mt Hotham, but, we need a laundry so stopped at Omeo Holiday park on the Livingstone Creek and a cool breeze has picked up. Lovely park about 1 km from town.

    Omeo is quite a pretty little town, the name is derived from an Aboriginal word for 'mountains' or 'hills'. Omeo is affectionately known as the City of the Alps with many historic buildings remaining in the town. The town is still the commercial hub for the Omeo Region, with a population of about 410.

    Harrietville

    13 февраля 2024 г., Австралия ⋅ 🌩️ 27 °C

    Harrietville is a former gold-mining town, located 25 kilometres south of Bright on the Great Alpine Road and at the base of Mount Feathertop, with a population of about 488.

    As it was very windy on the mountain and our favourite camping spot on Mt Freezeout had been taken we drove down to Harrietville (510m above sea level). The Harrietville Caravan Park is on the west branch of the Ovens River with shady trees to camp under. By about 5pm the forecasted rains came and the temperature dropped. In a short respite we walked to the nearby pub, but it was closed so back to camp and sheltered under our awning until the rain eased.Читать далее

    Located in the Chiltern-Mt Pilot National Park, the area was once the centre of one of the richest goldfields in Australia, where up to 8,000 prospectors camped along the banks of Spring Creek, in search of their fortune.Читать далее

    One of Australia's prettiest villages with a centre classified by the national trust, Yackandandah is nestled in the foothills of Stanley State Forest another gold mining town.

    Arrived around 2.30pm, set up camp and then walked the short distance into town. Stepped over original bluestone gutters to see the elaborate façades built during the nineteenth century gold rush.Читать далее
