Victoria High Country Rides


Victoria High Country Rides
Victoria Australia

It’s an ancient landscape, some 400million years old with lines of pink granite boulders trickling out of the dominant Mt. Ned, along grassy ridge lines sprinkled with snowy white gums down to the river flats. Indigenous history says that the Bundarrah Valley was a woman’s place. White man history was of cattlemen. Gold was never found in this valley but a short ride over a ridge line takes you along the Mitta Mitta river where there was apparently plenty. Omeo is the closest town having a chequered history of lawlessness being so far away from any major city. Gold miners and followers came in search of gold as cattlemen looked for greener pastures. The riding country is varied as we ride up onto the Bogong High Plains which were once dotted with the brown and white Herefords, and at one stage sheep. The Bogong High Plains at about 4,800 ft elevation are a large expanse of alpine grasses and heaths dotted with color during the wildflower season. On a clear day you can see forever, across the plains towards the Mt.’s Feathertop, Bogong, Fainters, Niggerheads, Cope and Jim and way into the distant ridge lines of the NSW Alps . In winter it’s covered by metres of snow though heavy snowfalls do fall unexpectedly in summer months. And that makes a riding trip interesting.
