    Just as an FYI - Blue Rag was in good nick on the 3rd May. We've had bit of rain and snow up this way since...might be worth considering.

        Likewise I will have the boys with me. It would be cool to get some snow but I don't think it is cold enough this week.

            Thanks mate for the Trip.
            Humffray river track was a ball, we will have to get back up there after some rain.
            It's a shame we didn't do that track on the GTG.

                    We Made it down Billy Goats and the original plan was was Crooked River up to Blue Rag but plans changed.

                    Here is the list.
                    Down Billy Goats.
                    Wonnangatta Road.
                    Eaglevale Tk.
                    Cynthia Range tk.
                    Wombat Range tk.
                    Humffray River tk. Must do that again, ( could be very interesting after some rain )
                    Penny Tk.
                    West Buffalo tk.
                    Abbeyard tk.
                    Abbeyard Road over to Abbeyard - Lake Cobbler track. ( Dry weather only )
                    Cobbler Lake tk.
                    Down the Staircase. (Wasn't Hard)
                    Speculation Rd.
                    Circuit Rd.
                    Then Home.

                    Great drive.

                      I also had a great time, good company, nice weather and some new fun tracks. A perfect weekend get away, the only thing that would have made it better would have been some snow. I am looking forward to doing some of the other tracks in the area that we havent had the chance to do yet. We didnt get to Blue Rag but we did go a new way (for us at least) back from the west side of the park to the east. Which included Humphrey river track, the staircase etc.

                      Great pics mate, here are a couple of mine though they are pretty similar.

                        I know the Abbeyard area quite well...thats the quick way into Wonnangatta for me.
                        Lake Cobbler is a day trip for me. There has been much talk of doing said day trip with the guys at work, but nothing yet.

                        I will have to pull out the map and check out some of the tracks I haven't heard of...always looking for ideas for the next trip into the High Country.

                          Nice run.
                          Pitty they ripped out the real staircase a couple years ago.
                          Nice sunny weather too.......
