It's a pity that those who wanted a harder option for trailers couldn't be accommodated! Surely as this is a casual get together, people can do what they want and rejoin the group as they please. As I mentioned before, I would like to do the hard stuff but I would also like to check out Bright, so I haven't decided on which option yet! I'm not about to take my bat and ball and go home though!Last edited by braddo; 27-03-2014, 02:25 PM.Cheers, Brad

I'd say route 2.
Your not missing much compared route 4.
It mOre depends which route you choose on Wednesday.
We will be able to discuss the options in detail on Tuesday.
Don't think it's all day on bitumen or anything like it, driving time once you are out of the bush on black might be 0ne hour. Option 2 is a good drive.
Anybody who really wants a harder option at the end of the week, if you have not been satasfied, come n see me once you are packed up & I will tell you where to go! Lol........ Seriously a harder route.
It's all good!Last edited by Anth120playdo; 27-03-2014, 04:17 PM.

Wonnangatta
Without giving too much away, one of the day trips out of Talbotville will be in and out of Wonnangatta Valley so those taking the trailer trip from Mansfield will still have the chance to see this iconic location and those who do the non-trailer overnighter will get another look but with some different tracks.[B]Ian[/B]

There is also a large IGA in the main street of Bright and a BP for those of us wanting BP diesel a little out of town (straight through on the same road Woolworths is in). Parking outside either supermarket will be a challenge for those of us towing.

Originally posted by barajak View PostWe have four different routes to Talbotville you can choose between. We need to know you preferred option so we can have trip leaders for the right numbers.
1- Take the Scenic Mansfield-Whitfield Rd and cruise past three cellar door wineries on your way to Bright for a top up of food and fuel. This is for wino's, those towing vans and on-road trailers and PPers that do not want to get dirty before they need to.

2- Take King Basin Rd (Rd by name only), Speculation Rd, Cobbler Lake Track and Cobbler Rd to the Buffalo Valley and then on to Bright. Mainly good off-road tracks and bush roads with some sections a bit rough. several water crossings and huts on the way. OK for off-road trailers.

4- Take the two day back country option via Lovick's Hut, King Billy Track and Wonnangatta Valley. Very scenic, no trailers, no resupply before Talbotville and air-bag suspension at own risk.
