Photos from Wonnangatta Valley trip  January '99

 

These are some photos from my trip to the Wonnagatta Valley. The track was in a very rugged condition as there was large flooding in the region over November/December. Most of the bridges and some of the track was washed away!

Many of the bridges were washed away so we had to drive down the river till we met up

with the track again!

About the deepest crossing of the river we did. Thank goodness for the snorkel!

Since the bridges were out we had to cross the river in other places that were all quite rocky.

My new bash plates we installed got a fair workout, as did the gas tank!

The only place we got stuck was a near vertical climb over rocks out of the creek.
