but if you are looking for a guided tour
around the park think again unless you fi nd
a local. It’s best you download the Trailforks
app and plan your route. There are maps
and signs out on course, but there are so
many it won’t be long before you’re more
confused than when you began. Rest
assured, it won’t matter as you will have
never had a better time being lost.


Above the plains at Mount Buller


Mount Buller is about a three hour drive
from both Mount Beauty and Melbourne
(even though it is signifi cantly closer to
the former as the crow fl ies). It’s likely you
have already visited Mount Buller, possibly
multiple times, and maybe you’ve made up
your own mind about the place.


One of the fi rst major races I attended
outside of Mount Beauty was in Mount


WHEELS FOR
THE BACKCOUNTRY

Buzzing around the Victorian High
Country was made a lot easier with
the Isuzu D-Max we were loaned. With
a Yakima CrashPad in the back, it was
easy for three of us to get around and
lug our bikes and gear. It turned out
engaging the 4WD was pretty useful
too when getting into some out-of-
the-way parking spots.

A big thanks to the team at Isuzu
Australia for making this happen.
