Mt Murray
Following the spine of the Great Dividing Range between the Gippsland Coast and inland Victoria, this trek is big picture alpine driving at its best. Glimpse coast side into the wildernesses of Wongungarra and Wonnangatta valleys, first explored by the hardiest of gold prospectors. Then cast your eyes inland over the Buckland valley, once the scene of a rush of over 6000 gold diggers and the infamous race riots which saw 2000 Chinese expelled from the valley in 1857. This route also follows the path of the keen bushwalker, taking in part of the 655km Australian Alps Walking Track from Walhalla to Tharwa near Canberra.
