The history of the failed sawmills and tramways built was an interesting read.

:clap::clap: She's looking goood!

Pretty smooth...what was the descent towards Lake Buffalo like?
(remember that as the "rocky" bit....)

Love the yarns, love the pics...you certainly covered some ground over the holidays!!

And Samaria....looks like they've done some major work on the track there....that last pic from the top, did you run out the north towards Moorngag/ Swanpool or west via Williams Rd. and past the quarry?

Looks like we missed eachother at Mt. Wombat, rats!

Yeah, that's what the tracks look like in the pics. Just a bit surprised about Samaria....it sort of seemed to die-in-the-bum the last few years, campspots up top weren't looked after, road was pretty rough etc.

Didn't know you were on your way, would've taken a diff route instead and be at the Wombat earlier. Geoff, the fire-warden told us there was a "single bike from Wang or so"...you also would've missed Dave by only a few minutes.

two wheels are best

New bike ? Tax purposes ? :credit:

There is (or at least used to be) some obscure tax ruling that says if you have a certain number of vehicles you can claim them as an investment/collection and therefore write-off expenses. A guy I knew had 8 classic and race cars crammed into his shed and he was availing of it, that was a while ago though).

Some dirt led to a punt.

Even at 91% full, it's quite a trip.

We followed the dirt north of the Murray to Jingellic.
