24-27 November - Cobberas, Cowombat and the Source of the Murray

Overnight Backpacking
Walk Coordinator: Robert Lewin
Meet: We would meet at Native Dog Flat campsite (on the Wulgulmerang-Benambra road) after midday.
Grade: Moderate/Hard
Distance: 35 km
Description: DATES OPEN TO DISCUSSION
Let Robert (02 6493 4427) know of interest.
Area: Victoria
Terrain: road, forest, scrub,open country.
Day 1 Drive to The Playground, climb Cobberas 1 and camp.
Day 2 Moscow Peak, Cobberas 2, Cowombat Flat and camp.
Day 3 (day walk) Source of the Murray, The Pilot and return to camp.
Day 4 Return to The Playground and drive home.

There seems that the consensus dates for this walk lie after the Xmas BBQ.
I suggest Tue 24 Nov for the start date. Further discussion is welcome.
Looking at the map I can see that there are four bridges available forthe crossing of the Snowy River. Jindabyne, Dalgety, McKillops andOrbost. Maybe the Orbost route is easiest. The McKillops route is themost scenic.
We will possibly(?) need to carry water for the first 24 hours. Thebush water available may be of poor quality for this first section.
