High Road to Melbourne 

Instead of taking the low road to the Range Rover 40th Anniversary in Melbourne
why not take the High Road?
This six day trip will reach Melbourne by way of the Victorian High Country.
The route will take us through the beautiful Alpine National Park just after the tracks
reopen following their annual winter closure.  Great camping & wonderful countryside.
The trip will end in Melbourne in time for the weekend festivities.
More information soon.  Contact Jim Nicholson to book.
