Recently we did a 3 day camping & offroading trip to Victorian high country in north east Victoria. The trip was organised as part of our Pajero Sport club and was joined by 4 more Pajero sports. A friend of mine joined in his Landcruiser 79 and a relative of another member joined in his Holden Colorado – so we were 7 vehicles in total.
We did Blue Rag range & Billy Goat bluff tracks, all of the Crooked river track with 25+ river crossings, N Basalt track, Collingwood spur track and few more over three days.
Blue rag range track is considered one of the best & scenic tracks of VHC ( and probably all of Australia). Billy goat bluff is (in)famous for its steepness and difficulty, Crooker river track, as the name suggests is known for the number of river crossing and its ever changing water levels.
Here is a quick summary of the trip and some photos.
Visit this post for better photos of Blue Rag track. This is from my last year trip.
Day 1: Left Melbourne at 5AM and reached Dargo, Vic around 9 AM. Rest of the gang had already reached Dargo previous night and were ready to go. We topped up fuel and left around 10AM. First was Dargo high plains road, then to Ritchie road to N Basalt track to Blue rag range track. Reached the Blue rag trig point ( the highest altitude point at around 1750m above sea level) around 2.30PM. Returned via same route to Dargo high plains road but lost some time to fix the bash plate of one vehicle which got one of its mounting points ripped because of an underbody hit.
