Sample Itinerary
- Day 1: Bogong High Plains & Mt Hotham
- Today you start a truly magnificent soft adventure
journey through the largest National Park system in Australia and the
stunning Capital of Australia - Canberra featuring some of the most
spectacular and remote regions this country offers. All in the hands of
your friendly MudMaps (Canberra-based) guide. Departing Melbourne via the
Highway we make our way onto Mt Hotham and the Bogong High Plains area of
the Victorian High Country. As we travel up into the high plain area we
discover magnificent scenery overlooking Mt Bogong and Feathertop. We
spend the afternoon exploring the area leisurely perhaps on horseback (own
cost), bushwalking, exploring high country towns like Harrietville, Bright
and Dinner Plain, farming communities or the nearby ski fields.
OVERNIGHT DINNER PLAIN-OMEO AREA. L/D
- Day 2: Snowy River & McKillops Bridge
- This morning we make our way onto the high country
cattle towns of Omeo and Benambra before travelling the Black Mountain
Road through the Alpine National Park in the shadow of the famous Cobberas
twin-mountains and onto the Snowy River itself. Admiring the Snowy River
N.P. scenery along the way we'll also optionally stop to explore the
Little River Gorge and/or hike to the waterfalls cascading off the
Gelatipy Plateau. Another optional visit to McKillops Bridge really does
enforce the power that once flowed in the Snowy River. Returning to
Wulgulmerang we meet our evening hosts Bob & Esme Boys on their farm
"Springs".

Shared Facilities). B/L/D

Willis we make our way up and out of the valley through beautiful
sub-alpine tall eucalypt forests of Kosciusko N.P. stopping as often as
you like to discover places like Jacobs Ladder, the Pilot Wilderness & the
Wallace Craigie Lookout. Leaving the park we make our way onto the town of
Jindabyne and then onto Avalanche Homestead farmstay.
