Location:
Meet at Porepunkah on the 15th before spending up to 6 days off grid, experiencing the harsh beauty of winter in the high country.
If weather permits, we will camp at altitude (>1,00m) on several occasions, possibly in snow. The trip will traverse a wide area from Bright to Dargo, Licola, Woods Point and Mansfield. If weather permits, we will navigate the back roads and tracks and you may experience driving on roads and tracks with a layer of snow on them. There will hopefully be quite a bit of snow above 1km, which we will experience across numerous mountain tops.
