Delatite River,Razorback Weekend Ride |
Day 1
We depart from Merrijig Lodge on Saturday morning travelling by vehicle to Mirimbah at the base of Mt Buller and Mt Stirling. From here we ride out through the head waters of the Delatite River crossing the river 15 times as we follow the river spur to the top of Mt Stirling, surrounded by towering Mountain Ash soaring up to reach the sun whilst shadowing the lush tree ferns on the forest floor below.
It is hard to believe that just 30 years ago you could drive down this amazing track that is now only accessible by horse or foot. We arrive at King Saddle where we enjoy the tranquillity of the bush over lunch.
We then start our trek up to Razorback where our supply vehicle has already got the camp set up and the billy on the boil. After a hearty meal we settle down to relax around the fire and enjoy the evening.
Day 2
On Sunday morning, after a hearty breakfast, we ride out and meet up with the supply vehicle for lunch somewhere around the bisection of the Delatite River and the Buttercup Creek Watershed. We are now homeward bound at a relaxed pace with the opportunity to do a bit more cantering and jumping if desired.
2 days - 1 night - $ 450
