WEDNESDAY 15TH MARCH - VICTORIAN HIGH COUNTRY

We had a decision to make this morning in that we wanted to explore the high country but we also wanted to keep heading north so we went exploring with the caravan in tow.

The Alpine National Park is fantastic in summer. It would be fantastic in winter too but, in summer, everywhere is accessible. A lot of the places that we went would only have been accessible by long distance cross country skiing in winter.

We followed a dirt road that took us to the upper areas of the ski field. It had potential but we weren't prepared to go too far towing the van.

The focus of the high plain is Falls Creek but there is so much more to the area than just the ski resort. As you would expect, it was a pretty quiet place in summer but there is plenty of mountain biking and walking to be done.

It's hard to rate camp sites because so many have been so good but tonight's is up there among the best. We are on the banks of the Murray about seven kilometres east of Walwa if you want to look up where that is.
