We are camped on a hill overlooking Omeo having spent a great few days in the caravan park at Wonangatta where we swam, rested and drove the Disco up and down precipitous mountains. Hill Descent Control is amazing but somewhat frightening to take your foot off the brake to let it work!
Our first 4X4 trip was curtailed by an inconvenient tree, which had fallen across the track and wedged between two others. None of us had a chain saw so 10 point turns were required to head back the other way.
More fun was had fording a couple of rivers but the water level was down from last year so no water over the bonnet this time.
The trip from Dargo to Omeo on Australia Day was uneventful apart from the need to dodge oncoming log trucks whose drivers were not aware it was a public holiday. Stopped for lunch by the Tambo River.
And so on to Bright where it's supposed to be 40 degrees, but at least there is the river!
