I endorse everything Kevin has said about the trig point. Check out the views on YouTube. The track there is magnificent. Mostly along a ridge top. There are a couple of steep spots. Don't give up!

Hi my name is Kevin McDermott and was part of a 6 vehicle tour which took in the Blue Rag Range Track on 14th March 2008. I can only suggest to anybody that may be going there, that this will be one of the greatest experiences that you will have in the Victorian High Country. The track itself is currently a little worse for wear and is a lot worse than when I was there the same time last year, especially the last section up to the trig point. It is currently very loose and rocky but did not worry our vehicles too much. The views on this track are just sensational, and when you arrive at the trig point you are and feel as though you are on top of the world. We did not get down the other side to the river camp as time was against us and from all reports there is only enough room down there for four vehicles. I would recommend this track to anyone wishing to experience one of the best tracks in Victoria but would NOT recommend it to the inexperienced driver or vehicles without low range. Enjoy Macca
