Hey ####, where are we coming back through? Back onto the Princess Hwy or over the other side?

Although the tracks may be rated difficult, as usual I suspect they should all be drivable.

P.o.i's:
Pinnacles
Billy goats
Talbotville
Many river crossings
Sth basalt
Blue rag

We were down there 2 weeks ago and drove all those tracks. My Dad did them all (apart from South Basalt) in a standard suspension 120 with AT tyres with no trouble. I did South Basalt for fun (looped back via Brewers Ck) and it was very steep but not too difficult.

Have a great trip - it was our first time down there and we loved it!

Cheers for the update on track condition.
Yeah it should be a nice drive & experience for those attending.
Glad you liked it!

Once we head out from blue rag, most likely we could have 2 convoys, definitely one going via bright & Hume.
There may be a second one heading back south on the Dargo high plains rd, back through Dargo, it may suit those who live well out s.e, eg; Berwick narrow warranty f.t.g etc.

I'll be heading back to the Princess to drop my mate off as he lives in Gippy.

Is the Dargo General Store still there?

Last time I visited was around 1975. They had some original Brylcreem tins on the shelves.

Be interested to see photos of the town and the roads. It was basically deserted and rough dirt when we were there.

It is.




I would get some more pictures for you but not going that way.
Perhaps Steve will grab a few shots on the way past.

That's the pub ####, the store is across the road. It was still there at the GTG, have not been back there since.

Yep the Darg pub, it says that in the roof.......
It's the road in front of it too. Not dirt now, bitumen.
Yes it's still across the road. Not much has changed lately.
Like I said will try & get some more pics.

So there is a fair attendance of dads with the girl or girls, or with the boy or boys, any better halves going?
