Possible trip: Heathcote-Graytown National Park
Possible trip: Heathcote-Graytown National Park
Hey guys,
I had an idea to organise a trip to Heathcote-Graytown national park after doing some driving there on the weekend. Lots of gravel forest trails, will be some mud if its been raining and some very challenging rocky hill climbs at Mt Black/Mt Brown. I've done Mt Brown a couple of times but i'm yet to see the top of Mt Black after multiple attempts in both the L series and the Liberty! Liberty needs low range haha.
The area is beautiful box-ironbark forest with historic mining towns, cemetaries and even old WWII POW camps which are pretty interesting to check out.
Not sure on dates i'm pretty much free most weekends, suggest when you're free and it can be worked out as we go. My preference is a Sat night camp, with option for Friday night too.
Cheers,
Rhys

Cup weekend I'll be climbing at araps so no good for me...
no lift yet either, too busy buying outdoor gear from the states
Any of you guys been around bright? I spent last week up there with my year 8s and it looks like there's lots of fun to be had. Especially around the buckland valley, a nice gravel track with a few easy river crossings - would make for a good cruise i reckon.

Sweet! Let me know when it's a goerVenom wrote:That should suit me i will be able to adjust my uni work around it.
Not been around bright, just Omeo side of Mt Hotham... And you should really stop buying gear from the states that is not orientated with subi activities in Oz! And stop rafting/climbing too - that should free up some time for subi building and 4wd'nScubyRoo wrote:Cup weekend I'll be climbing at araps so no good for me...

In other news, Ruby Scoo sports a sky blue bash plate. I'm thinking of changing its colour...
