ITINERARY
DAY 1
Arrive at 6.30am at our high country farming property that’s been in the Watson family for many generations. After selecting horses we truck the horses to Mt Stirling to start our ride. We travel up to the summit with its magnificent views and then onto clear hills to ‘Craigs Hut’ for lunch. We then descend down to Bindaree Hut for our first night’s camp.
DAY 2
Next morning we enjoy an early hearty cooked breakfast and then we ride under the spectacular face of the “Bluff” and then up past the “Bluff Hut” and onto King Billy and the “Lovick Hut” for the evening. Here we are surrounded by the magnificent snow gums.
.
DAY 3
We enjoy a leisurely start to the day before saddling up and riding across the peaks of this truly remarkable landscape. A brilliant day for photo’s with breathtaking cliff edges and mountains that seem to stretch on forever. We take in the views of “Picture Point”, Mt Howitt, The Cross Cut Saw, Mt Speculation and onto Mt Cobbler. We enjoy lunch on the side of Mt Magdala. We stay again under canvas at Lovick’s Hut for the evening.
