The tour will start from Yarra Glen on Melbourne’s outskirts on a Monday morning and will continue through Picture Point, Wonnangatta, Talbotville, Blue Rag and Dargo – before concluding back on the outskirts of Melbourne on Friday afternoon.

We will head up through Mansfield to Sheepyard Flat for our first night. Along the way, you will have the opportunity to visit Lovick’s Hut. You can also absorb the history that lies behind eight different huts that were featured in the film ‘Man from Snowy River’. Additionally, you will get to climb/descend a couple of mountains, see some spectacular high-country views and cross a couple of rivers.
