2006 Great Divide Tours - Victorian High Country Trek

Tuesday - 10 January 2006

Today was Day 3. We woke early as we had to pack up camp and be ready to leave after our 8:30am briefing.

It was another beautiful day with blue skies as we headed off to explore the beautiful Bindaree Falls. The tree ferns are lush, tall and abundant and the walk took us behind the falls.

We then climbed to Bluff Hut and Lovick’s Hut. These huts provide shelter for the mountain cattle men that herd the cattle in the summer months.


We viewed the Mountain range near Bluff Hut and saw where some of the horse riding scenes for the film “The Man From Snowy River” were shot.

We crossed the high country with its beautiful snow gums and arrived at Howitt’s Hut as the weather was closing in and it was starting to rain.

There were 2 horse riding tag along trips arriving at the same camp site and we watched the horses grazing, feeding and drinking water from the water tank.
