ITINERARY

Day 1

Leave our base camp “ Oberon Lodge “ in Merrijig, we head east climbing Mt No3, heading down to the King river. The 1st of many crossings! We traverse across the West face of the stunning Mt Cobbler, before ascending to the rear of the Vikings, where we get our 1st glimpse Billy Goats Bluff across in the horizon when we come to terms with the massive scale the Victorian High Country.  We descend onto West Buffalo River, making our way in the mysterious Wonnangatta Valley. The mountains get real from here on, with big mountain climbs, awesome ridge riding with some spectacular views of the Howitt High Plains, Billy Goats Bluff, The Pinnacles & more.  We drop in for a well earned beer at the Dargo Hotel.

Day 2

We tackle some of the old gold mine history that is embedded in the deserted townships of Grant & Bulltown, before we understand why the Crooked River is named as such after crossing it19 times.  We ascend for the sky again looking forward to lunch at the top of Mt Blu Rag (1726m & weather permitting).  Finishing our Day 2 by the luxurious poolside bar & outdoor area called the Harrietville Hotel.

Day 3

We begin the journey west amongst the hills, finalising our lunch spot on the West Buffalo River. We stop & admire 1 of the most spectacular waterfalls in the high Country Dandongadale Falls, continuing onto Lake Cobbler, & tackling the mighty Staircase decent. Craigs Hut is our last point of call to admire the distance & beauty of the ground we’ve covered in the preceding days. Must be competent on tour!
