T-Man Posted 11April, 2017 Report Share Posted 11April, 2017 right - but the Omeo Highway, between Omeo and Mitta Mitta, then on to Wodonga - has that ever been blocked by snow in April or even May? I've taken everything from a Landcruiser to a Gemini up that road around Easter with water and mud being the biggest issueWorst case scenario camp out at the Blue Duck and wait for the snow to melt !We drove the Omeo Hwy in October last year. The Rd to Falls was indeed closed and there was Snow on Hotham. I wouldn't be too concerned about April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be ok as the altitude is not that high. Any Ice will be at Hotham if you go that way. You can expect a lot of RVs /bikes etc being Easter and possibly a copper. I have only seen one HWY patrol during the super bike at PHillip Island weekend and the local ones in 4WD around each end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvs11 Posted 11April, 2017 Report Share Posted 11April, 2017 The local copper in his 4 wheeler is a sneaky bugger, but friendly. He likes visitors to stop and chat sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow still on the summit at Hotham and what do you know.........2 x 993s, 2 x Caymans, a GT4....and a GT3.Don't think it was a sight seeing expedition.I think you should go for it!!!

Chris-p Posted 16April, 2017 Report Share Posted 16April, 2017 Hi Steve,we normally stay at the Bogong view motel. It's just on the Mt Hotham side of Bright and about a 5 minute walk into town for the restaurants etc. clean comfortable and reasonably priced. Cars are safe too...

Peter M Posted 21April, 2017 Report Share Posted 21April, 2017 Thank you.I'm sure I'm not the only one who appreciates the details of the roads and the places to stay that are being posted in this thread. Since this location is way out of my neighbourhood, getting the details of the best route is gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
