Travelling Worm<p><strong>Sixteen Mile Jeep Track, Victorian High Country</strong></p><p>In our recent travels around the Victorian High Country, me and Beetle the Jeep drove the Sixteen Mile Jeep Track (also called the Sixteen Mile Jeep Road). Although this track can be tricky in the wet, it’s not very challenging when dry. The forest and countryside are beautiful, well worth the drive.</p><p>Here’s a taste of the track:</p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/2E0kW2Eci0g" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/2E0kW2Eci0g</a></p><p>Would you like to explore more of the Victorian High Country?

Travelling Worm<p><strong>Huts of the Victorian High Country</strong></p><p><strong>In this post:</strong> Join me on a crawl around the mountain huts of the Victorian High Country in Australia.</p><p>This is the blog of Mark Wordsworm, the travelling worm. I’m a 40-year-old bookmark (give or take a few years) and I proudly boast my own Hallmark serial number, 95 HBM 80-1. You’ll probably want to read <strong><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://travellingworm.wordpress.com/about-me/" target="_blank">all about me</a></strong> and my Travelling Companion (the TC).</p><p><strong>Today’s travel notes</strong></p><p>In our recent travels around the Victorian High Country, me and the TC visited several of the area’s well-known mountain huts. The huts vary from a basic four-walls-and-a-roof structure to quite a solid affair with furnishings. Most of them were built to offer shelter to walkers, cattle folk, and others who might be caught out by the unpredictable weather of the highlands. Some are named for the families who lived in them, like Lovick’s Hut.</p><p>I’ve written a separate blog post about the most famous hut of all: <a href="https://travellingworm.com/2025/03/14/craigs-hut-the-man-from-snowy-river/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Craig’s Hut, from the movie, <em>The Man from Snowy River</em></a>.</p><p><strong>The book I’m in</strong></p><p><em>The Phenomenon of Man</em> by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. I’m chewing my way through this momentous work, savouring it a piece at a time.</p><p><strong>Travel tips</strong></p><p>If at first you don’t spot the dunny (that’s Australian for toilet), take a walk and look again. Most campgrounds and picnic areas have a long-drop.</p><p>From the sublime to the ridiculous… a dunny on the Paradise Falls track:</p><a href="https://travellingworm.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/dunny-on-paradise-falls-track-pxl_20250218_000116444-small.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://travellingworm.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/dunny-inside-scaled-1.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a><p><strong>Recommended accommodation</strong></p><p>Camping is the best option for a trip around the Victorian High Country. It’s hard to predict where you’ll find yourself at the end of each day. Most likely, you won’t be anywhere near a hotel.</p><p>Luckily, the campgrounds are well laid out and most have a toilet, albeit a long-drop. Here are the campgrounds we stayed at.</p><p>Seven (count ‘em: 7) days camping in a row. That’s a record for yours truly:</p><ul><li><strong>Day 1 (18 February):</strong> The campground near Craig’s Hut. Elevation 1,450 metres. It was cold, even in the middle of the Australian summer. This worm recommends a thick book to cuddle up in.</li><li><strong>Day 2 (19 February):</strong> A camping site on Mount Howitt. Elevation 1,600 metres. It was even colder that night, due to some wind and an early morning mist. The TC, bless her thick cotton socks, wore leggings, gloves, two T shirts, two soft jackets, and a large Dutch jacket, and huddled down into her sleeping bag.</li><li><strong>Day 3 (20 February):</strong> Eaglevale campground near Dargo. Those who aren’t made of cardboard had a refreshing dip in the Wonangatta river.</li><li><strong>Day 4 (21 February):</strong> Black Snake Creek campground, again on the banks of the Wonangatta River. The non-cardboard folks took another swim in the river.</li><li><strong>Day 5 (22 February):</strong> Castleburn Creek campground on Dargo Road.</li><li><strong>Day 6 (23 February): </strong>Hinnomunjie Bridge campground, on the far side of Omeo.</li><li><strong>Day 7 (24 February):</strong> Taylor’s Crossing in the Nunniong area. The TC, bless her cotton socks, <a href="https://sydneybirder.com/2025/03/02/gang-gang-cockatoos-on-a-river-bank/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">spotted her first Gang-gang Cockatoos</a> here.</li></ul><p><strong>What about food? What about the pretty berries?</strong></p><p>This worm recommends that you bring all your supplies when travelling the lesser-known roads of the high country. People in the know can snack off bush tucker, but beware: don’t eat anything unless you’re sure it’s good for humans. Some of our party were keen to try these Dianella berries. <strong>But not all Dianellas are edible!</strong></p><a href="https://travellingworm.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/dianella-berries-scaled-1.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a><p><strong>The photos</strong></p><p>Me at the Washington Winch on Nunniong Road near Moscow Villa Hut:</p><a href="https://travellingworm.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/winch-worm-scaled-1.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a><p>Yours truly is nicely in focus. That’s how I like it.</p><p>Ah, you want to know about the winch too?</p><a href="https://travellingworm.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/winch-scaled-1.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a><p>The Washington Winch was powered by steam, and built in Seattle, USA, to haul timber up steep slopes.</p><p>Here’s the winch hook, which hangs above the track a few metres from the engine:</p><a href="https://travellingworm.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/winch-scaled-2.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a><p>And now, on to those huts.</p><p><strong>Craig’s Hut</strong></p><a href="https://travellingworm.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/craigs-hut-and-worm-pxl_20250218_194804269-small.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a><p>If you’ve seen the movie, <em>The Man from Snowy River</em>, then you’ve had your breath taken away by the beauty of the mountain views from Craig’s Hut. Canny readers will spot yours truly on the window sill of the hut in the above photo. To find your breath again, read my separate blog post about <a href="https://travellingworm.com/2025/03/14/craigs-hut-the-man-from-snowy-river/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Craig’s Hut and <em>The Man from Snowy River</em></a>.</p><p><strong>Bindaree Hut</strong></p><a href="https://travellingworm.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/bindaree-hut-outside-scaled-1.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://travellingworm.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/bindaree-hut-inside-scaled-1.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a><p><strong>Pikes Flat Hut</strong></p><p>Pike’s Flat Hut was one of the more dilapidated structures.

Travelling Worm<p><strong>Blue Rag Range Track, VIC</strong></p><p><strong>In this post: </strong>Blue Rag Range Track near Dargo in Victoria, Australia: the track, the views, and our route to get there.</p><p>This is the blog of Mark Wordsworm, the travelling worm. I’m a 40-year-old bookmark (give or take a few years) and I proudly boast my own Hallmark serial number, 95 HBM 80-1. You’ll probably want to read <strong><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://travellingworm.wordpress.com/about-me/" target="_blank">all about me</a></strong> and my Travelling Companion (the TC).</p><p><strong>Today’s travel notes</strong></p><p>Me and the TC recently spent a week and a half in the Victorian High Country, a landscape of mountains and valleys in the state of Victoria, Australia. On 23 February, we tackled a bucket-list four-wheel driving track in the area: Blue Rag Range Track.</p><p><strong>The book I’m in</strong></p><p><em>Lathe of Heaven</em> by Ursula K Le Guin. Every time this worm gets into a book by this author, I’m astounded at the cleanness of her style and the smartness of her plots. This book is no exception.</p><p><strong>Recommended accommodation</strong></p><p>Hinnomunjie Bridge campground in Omeo Valley, Victoria. The site is well laid out on the banks of the Mitta Mitta river, with clean toilets and clear grassy areas to pitch your tent.</p><p><strong>Recommended restaurant</strong></p><p>Dargo Hotel in Dargo.</p><p><strong>Travel tips</strong></p><p>Try to avoid pitching your tent on a slope. The TC, bless her cotton socks, kept waking up with her feet hanging over the end of the bed and a big empty space at the top of the bed. She finally worked out that she was sliding down thanks to the slope.</p><p><strong>The photos</strong></p><p>Me at the trig point at the top of Blue Rag Range Track (elevation 1,700 metres / 5,580 feet):</p><a href="https://travellingworm.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/blue-rag-range-track-worm-pxl_20250223_025223973-small.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a><p>Observant readers will notice the trophies stuck to the trig tower, by people who’re proud to make it to the top. We didn’t leave a trophy, but it is indeed a great feeling to have made this trip.</p><p>Observant readers will also notice that it was windy up there! This worm strikes a jaunty pose nonetheless, with my tassel horizontal and a firm grasp from a friendly hand.</p><p>Hyper-observant readers will notice Peg skulking in the book at bottom right. Peg makes occasional appearances in my posts, her firm grip on reality keeping me grounded. But even Peg wasn’t strong enough for the gale at the Blue Rag Range trig point.</p><p><strong>The track</strong></p><p>It took us three and a half hours (12:30pm to 4pm) to drive the track itself, with a one-hour lunch break and stops for photographs.</p><p>At the start of the track is a steep mound with a hole at its crest, ready to trap the unwary vehicle.

Travelling Worm<p><strong>Billy Goat Bluff Track, VIC</strong></p><p><strong>In this post: </strong>Billy Goat Bluff Track near Dargo in Victoria, Australia, plus some lovely country and a river to camp beside.</p><p>This is the blog of Mark Wordsworm, the travelling worm. I’m a 40-year-old bookmark (give or take a few years) and I proudly boast my own Hallmark serial number, 95 HBM 80-1. You’ll probably want to read <strong><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://travellingworm.wordpress.com/about-me/" target="_blank">all about me</a></strong> and my Travelling Companion (the TC).</p><p><strong>Today’s travel notes</strong></p><p>Me and the TC recently spent a week and a half in the Victorian High Country, a landscape of mountains and valleys in the state of Victoria, Australia. On 22 February, we tackled a well-known four-wheel driving track in the area: Billy Goat Bluff Track.</p><p><strong>The book I’m in</strong></p><p><em>Jericho’s Dead</em> by William Hussey. This is the second in a series about Scott Jericho, an ex police detective and member of a fairground family who seems to attract serial killers and other nasties. Highly recommended.</p><p><strong>Recommended accommodation</strong></p><p>Black Snake Creek campground on the banks of Wonangatta River.</p><p><strong>Travel tips</strong></p><p>Although Billy Goat Bluff track has been graded and is relatively easy driving, many of the tracks in the Dargo area are challenging. Pick your route to and from Billy Goat Bluff with care.</p><p><strong>The photos</strong></p><p>Crawling the tracks is what yours truly does best. So, let’s start with a video of part of Billy Goat Bluff Track, to give you and idea of what it’s like. The track was graded in late 2024. When we were there in February 2025, the driving was easy. But beware the steep drop-offs on both sides!</p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/8AISROQ62bk" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/8AISROQ62bk</a></p><p>The TC, bless her cotton socks, talks about the <em>Billy Goat Gruff</em> track in the video. It’s actually <em>Billy Goat Bluff</em>. Rumour has it that the track got its name because to drive it, you need to be as agile as a goat.</p><p>The track features a steep gradient of 27%, climbing 1,200 metres over a distance of 7 kilometres.</p><a href="https://travellingworm.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/pxl_20250221_232620178-small.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a><p>The TC’s water bottle compressed as if it had been in a jet plane:</p><a href="https://travellingworm.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/pxl_20250221_231658300-small.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a><p><strong>How long does it take?</strong> It took us less than two hours to drive the track. We started the track itself at soon after 9am and finished before 11am, with plenty of stops for photographs. </p><p>Here’s our convoy on the infamous ridge. Those edges give little margin for error or for passing an oncoming vehicle:</p><a href="https://travellingworm.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/img_0763-small.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a><p>All round us, the peaks and valleys of the high country conspired to make us feel like insignificant worms on the face of the universe (oh wait,<strong> I am</strong> a worm, and decidedly not insignificant!):</p><a href="https://travellingworm.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/view-pxl_20250221_232759116-small.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a><p><strong>Getting there:</strong> On the night before the trail, we camped at Black Snake Creek campground on the banks of the Wonangatta River:</p><a href="https://travellingworm.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/pxl_20250221_082020547-small.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a><p>We left the campground at around 8.30am and followed Wonangatta Road northwards for half an hour or so, winding along the banks of the Wonangatta River until we joined Billy Goat Bluff Track.</p><p>The lovely Kingwill Bridge on Wonangatta Road:</p><a href="https://travellingworm.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/pxl_20250221_215609125-small.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a><p>In case your appetite for Billy Goat Bluff isn’t yet satiated:</p><a href="https://travellingworm.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/pxl_20250221_232558552-small.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a><p>After finishing Billy Goat Bluff, we took a short detour to visit <a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/hQXtGcZSbGdeiFML9" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Pinnacles Lookout</a> in the Miowera region:</p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/gZRIUXVfHtg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/gZRIUXVfHtg</a></p><p>There I met my cousin Dilly the Butterfly:</p><a href="https://travellingworm.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/butterfly-img_0778-small.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a><p>We then explored some of the tracks around Dargo, which turned out to be much more of an adventure than planned. We helped some folks out of trouble, which meant that we were still on the tracks late at night:</p><a href="https://travellingworm.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/night-pxl_20250222_092339632-small.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://travellingworm.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/night-original_847af0e0-03a3-45c8-8821-6c0874443f0c_pxl_20250222_110548202-small.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a><p>We found our way safely to Castleburn Creek campground at midnight, rounding off another day of happy travelling.</p><p>Speaking to the locals in Dargo the next day, we heard that many people find themselves in trouble on these tracks. The maps are not up to date, and as a result people don’t know what’s in store for them. Take care out there on the tracks, make sure you’re in a capable vehicle, and travel with some mates to help if you do run into a tricky situation.</p><p><strong><em>That’s all for today, folks</em></strong></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://travellingworm.com/tag/4wd/" target="_blank">#4wd</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://travellingworm.com/tag/adventure/" target="_blank">#adventure</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://travellingworm.com/tag/australia/" target="_blank">#australia</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://travellingworm.com/tag/billy-goat-bluff-track/" target="_blank">#BillyGoatBluffTrack</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://travellingworm.com/tag/bookmark/" target="_blank">#bookmark</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://travellingworm.com/tag/bookworm/" target="_blank">#bookworm</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://travellingworm.com/tag/nature/" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://travellingworm.com/tag/pinnacles-lookout/" target="_blank">#PinnaclesLookout</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://travellingworm.com/tag/travel/" target="_blank">#travel</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://travellingworm.com/tag/travelling-worm/" target="_blank">#travellingWorm</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://travellingworm.com/tag/travelog/" target="_blank">#travelog</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://travellingworm.com/tag/travelogue/" target="_blank">#travelogue</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://travellingworm.com/tag/victoria/" target="_blank">#Victoria</a></p>
