6 Day Cobberas and Cowombat Flat Adventure
Graded: MODERATELY DIFFICULT

Wilderness Bushwalk (pack weight 15-18kg).
4 nights camping, 1 night accommodation.

For adventurous walkers only!

This is the most scenic of my bushwalks as we hike across the "spine" of the Cobberas Range , the second highest mountain range in Victoria .

Ascending Mt. Cobberas 1 at 1838m, you are rewarded with some of the finest 360 degree mountain views to be found anywhere. This is Wilderness walking at it's best.

6 Days ex. Bairnsdale $POA

Remote from civilisation, this sub-alpine Wilderness features rugged rocky peaks, splendid snowgum woodland and sub-alpine meadows with our only company being native wildlife and brumbies.

Reaching Cowombat Flat, the headwaters of the Murray River , we set up camp and explore the flat and surrounds. Here the mighty Murray River dividing Victoria from NSW, is barely a metre wide.

A leisurely pace throughout this bushwalk ensures ample time to appreciate the Wilderness, experience the true solitude and soak up the atmosphere.

Walking to our campsites is along a now disused 4 wheel drive track, but once we leave this to explore, there are no other walking tracks to follow making progress slow.  Packs are carried on some days, but you will be glad to leave them behind for the difficult long day walk down to the chasm.
During walks you will also learn about how the plants and animals are returning after the 2003 Alpine bushfire.

Maximum 6 participants only.

5 day Reedy Creek Chasm Bushwalk
Graded: MODERATELY DIFFICULT

Wilderness Bushwalk, Pack Weight 15-18kg

4 nights camping

For adventurous walkers only!

Are you fit enough to escape the crowds this Easter and hike for 3 days away from vehicle support into remote mountain wilderness?

This bushwalk explores the little-known Buchan Headwaters Wilderness in the Alpine National Park.  Enjoy wandering across a delightful sub-alpine plain, discover a small waterfall that cascades over the escarpment on it’s way to Reedy Creek and take in the remoteness.

With no major peaks to boast, this area sees few bushwalkers, however the chasm on Reedy Creek is a remarkable place and well worth the effort required. Here in this small but deep and narrow chasm, gaze skyward at the cliffs above and remark at the variety of ferns waving their fronds gently in the breeze.
