Completed 5 Days+

Walk, Back-pack

(FULLY BOOKED, Waitlist started) A walk to traverse the remote Cobberas range in Victoria, and to climb The Pilot in the southern region of Kosciuszko NP. The walk is a mixture of track, firetrails and some rugged, off-track sections with the highlights being several Cobberas peaks, Cowombat Flat, remnents of an old RAAF DC-3 crash site, Murray Spring, Black Allen Cairn and The Pilot. Day 1 we start with a long, bumpy drive to Native Dog Flat Campground, via the Barry Way and Limestone Rd, and car camp there overnight. Days 2 and 3 are spent traversing the Cobberas range followed by 2 nights camping at Cowombat Flat. Day 4 is a long day (19km) with daypacks climbing to The Pilot via the Cowombat Track, and returning via an off-track decent to Forest Hill visiting Black Allen Cairn No1 and Murray Spring. Day 5 we return to the cars via Cowombat Flat Track (also AAWT) followed by the drive home. For experienced off-track pack walkers, some sections are rough and exploratory, pack limits will apply.
