Still at Orbost after the locals persuaded us to do the Snowy Mountain Trail. The views were magnificent, the road terrifying. For about 11 km past the McKillop Bridge over the Snowy River, the road is barely wide enough for the Navara. On one side is a vertical cliff face going straight up, and on the other is a vertical cliff face going straight down. Sorry I did not get a picture, but you would not have got my hands off the steering wheel with a crowbar. Kathy was muttering "Oh God" at regular intervals, and hiding under the dash, so no photo's from her either. There were "passing bays" that might allow two goats to pass, but cars were expected to pass there. Fortunately the only vehicle coming the other way was at a wide section so no worries.
We intend to move on to Traralgon tomorrow, then drive through Melbourne on Sunday to minimise the traffic.
