The Great Victorian High Country Expedition
On the first day we drive down to Beechworth, via the Hume Highway. And in the late afternoon/early evening we do the Beechworth town walk. The following day we do a 14 km 'work-up' walk in the Chiltern - Mt Pilot National Park. Then, on day 4 we decamp in a southerly direction, to Myrtleford. From here we will have a variety of walks in the Mount Buffalo National Park. I understand some of these walks offer excellent swimming opportunities. On day 5 we move on to the Bright / Mount Beauty area. From here we will explore more walks in the Alpine National Park. On day 9 we make our way to the Burrowa-Pine National Park, where we will do the Cudgewa Bluff Falls walk. After that, we commence the long drive back to Canberra. Anyhow, that's the plan. At this stage. It's subject to revision. And review. And amendments. Also, there will probably be a rest day at some point. Possibly dictated by the weather, possibly not. The thinking behind this activity is that we should get a little taste of everything in the area. Then, on future activities we can focus on those parts of the Victorian High Country that we really like. I expect our accommodation will be a mix of car camping, cabins and hotels / motels.
