Adam Here since the start... Lifetime Members 10,282 Member For: 21y 6m 24d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 06/03/13 09:54 AM Share Posted 06/03/13 09:54 AM Which way to Mansfield Gaz? The Hume doesn't go there. You could meet at Wallan, turn off at Tallarook, hit the Goulburn Valley Hwy and then onto the Maroondah Hwy for Mansfield.Basically like this... https://maps.google.com.au/maps?saddr=Unknown+road&daddr=-37.0925373,145.1469873+to:Mount+Buller+Tourists+Rd%2FC320+to:Mansfield-Woods+Point+Rd%2FC511+to:Goulburn+Valley+Hwy%2FB340+to:Goulburn+Valley+Hwy%2FMaroondah+Hwy%2FB340+to:Melba+Hwy%2FB300&hl=en&sll=-37.213925,145.500183&sspn=1.0707,2.113495&geocode=Fa1Hxf0dMsOkCA%3BFUcDyv0da8SmCCn7HdKGN_PXajEH6QZ1l66k0A%3BFX0zyf0dDqW6CA%3BFUUMx_0dB-i1CA%3BFZTVx_0d02uyCA%3BFVEjyf0djYmtCA%3BFQ8iyP0dzCWrCA&mra=dpe&mrsp=1&sz=10&via=1&t=m&z=10You'd finish in Yea and people can shoot off in which ever direction suits them best from there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't driven up to Mt Buller during the warmer months.Was considering going via Strath Creek Rd to Flowerdale, then up to Mansfield. What's the Goulburn Hwy like, Adam? I remember some scenic twisties along the Strath Creek route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to exciting. It's just the road to your destination.Don't waste the fuel checking out the Buller road. It's in good knick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road up to Mt Buller is good - lots of hair-pins BP at Mansfield has no Ultimate 98 RON because the pump is out of action. But the Caltex at Mansfield has Vortex 98 thank goodness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll post up a new thread on it to gauge interest. That weekend is good as there is little chance of rain - following weekends in April have a reasonable expectations of rain forecast. Planning on having lunch in Mansfield after going up and down Mt Buller as there's hardly anything open at the top of Mt Buller this time of year (and more choices in Mansfield) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think those sort of roads are best done relatively dry. It's just less than 2 weeks away so let's see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit hard to predict the weather with any measure of accuracy more than a week ahead anyway, realistically.Are you on Facebook, Gary? If so, I'll get you onto the group, if not, I'll let the guys on there know to register interest in your thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
