Road conditions between Dargo, Vic, and Omeo via The Dogs Grave

Good morning Tony
There is 1000m+ difference in height above sea level from Dargo to Dogs Grave, so there must be a hill somewhere .

Yep but its spread over a fair distance about 36k in-fact. The only real steep bit is if you go down to Harrisons Cut via the old stock route, which has been realigned after the fires,

Tony, if you take Jones Rd to the Birregun Rd turn-off you will need to climb about 650m over about 6 kilometres as a continuous climb. Not steep, just a long climb. Birregun Rd is a normal dirt road with a lot of up and downs to Dogs Grave and much the same to Omeo. You can take Stock Route Spur track to Birregun Rd from the Dargo River and avoid Jones Rd altogether. As you say, it's a bit steeper but a relatively straight forward climb from the river to Birregun Rd. It's only 500m over about 3 kilometres.

Cheers

No doubt there is a few hills, but to class them as steep if you stay on Birregan is a bit tongue in cheek. And if you are coming from Omeo most of it is down hill.

Gday
Im sorry Mike , i have led you astray, there are no hills or steep bits and there are no corners as the road has been re aligned .....and its all down hill if you go the other way ...My god , how picky can you get..

I would take notice of the person sitting on top of Blue Rag!

Which is nowhere near Birregan Rd. My first trips down that way there was no bridge across the Dargo River, and that crossing sorted a few out.

Andrew and Jen, Thanks, read the threads, great.....Thanks to all for the replies and comments........
