Trip notes
From the club member's GPS log of the trip (7 March 2009), lightly edited, with people's names removed. Conditions may have changed since.
Party of 2. Travelled to Avoca homestead on Saturday morning and tried Otarama that day in case it rained on Sunday. Windy in places, but we made it, so Sunday was just a leisurely stroll around the 4WD track.
