I've succumbed to the dark side and decided to put up a Facebook page, search Kevin Moss and either send me a friend request or use messenger to get in contact with me on that platform if it suits.
I've done the 3 day Grampians hike more then I can count and a few
ReplyDeleteOvernighters else where and would like to try the viking as the ones mentioned are easy and slightly signposted
Could you tell what map to use for the viking and a a quick run down how to use it with a GPS
Hi there, I'm thinking that you are talking about the Razor Viking Circuit? If I'm correct then you are making a huge jump in difficulty moving from 3 day walk in the Grampians to the Razor Viking Circuit, it might be wise to pick another High Country walk and build up to the Razor Viking once you have a little more experience. The Razor Viking has virtually no signposting, long sections with no track through thick scrub, tricky route finding through cliff lines and a lot of climbing and descending - it's a tough walk. I normally use the Howitt Selwyn Vicmap when I walk up there, and nowadays also my Garmin GPS topo maps. John Chapman has the best notes and map in his Bushwalking in Australia book. It's almost impossible to explain how to use a GPS with a paper map in one sentence, Youtube is probably your friend there - although I'd recommend maybe joining a bushwalking club where they will probably be more than happy to run you though the basics of navigation. If you do head up there take an epirb as a last resort - it could save your life. Good luck with whatever you decide - feel free to email me if you need anymore advice. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteHi, I would be interested to hear your opinion on the issue of Brumbies, is it reeally that bad that they need culling.
ReplyDeleteAre the so destructive, personally my own opinion is not, we have a property in Cassilis at the back of Omeo and I have never seen one.
Your opinion on this I would greatly appreciate.
Cheers
William
Hi William. The brumbies do a fair bit of damage up above the tree line so the numbers need to be reduced a bit, I'm not keen on shooting them though. Maybe in the future there will be somekind of stearilaztion to keep the numbers under control. If you want to see some brumbies up your way head over to Benba or Buckwong Creeks where the AAWT crosses - there are big mobs out there.

Thanks Kevin for the prompt and thorough response. I appreciate it.

Hi just stumbled on your post. Great photos. Note I live in area. If people doing this walk can note DONT park in Cherokee fire station - as you say plenty of parking across the road. We've had to put up signs/ cameras as well as some people think that behind the building is a toilet!!! :( Oh and the Rock picture on Hesket Boundry rd/ mountains rd fire access track - that is actually my place :) Basically its private property on the east side of that road. Please respect our special part of the world.
