Hi Has anyone skied the terrain around Lost Plain, Mt. Arbuckle, Mt. Reynard and the Wellington Plains? What is winter access out there like? There is no snow clearing on the Tamboritha or Howitt roads . What about skiing past the winter gate on the...

Hi I have discovered a place that intrigues me: The Dargo High Plains.Yes, I know I am a bit late at finding this area. Having obtained various maps of the area I can now see that the seasonal road closure gate to the south of Lankey Plains Hut is located ...
