| We’ll be base camping from Running Creek Camping Reserve, which is situated on the Howqua River.
There will be day trips Saturday and Sunday – One will be Three Chain Track through Sheepyard Flat and along Steiners Track. The other will be Symes Track along Mitchell Track to Wrens Flat, Silvermine Spur Track to Granny Flat and back to Mitchell Track. Campers and caravans are ok (driving in will be on a dirt road along Howqua River Rd). Some may opt to come up Friday night and camp an extra night. To get there: Follow the Mount Buller Road from Mansfield towards Merrijig for 4km. Turn right at the sign to Jamieson and travel for about 26km. Turn left at the Howqua River Road immediately after the Howqua River. After approximately 10km on gravel road you will reach the Running Creek Camping Reserve sign on your left. The campsite is 300m from this sign. The track to the Reserve is a moderate slope and is accessible to all vehicles. |
