BLUE RAG
The Blue Rag Range Track is perhaps
the most iconic in the whole Victori-
an Region. An attempt is necessary
for any traveller hoping to conquer
the mountainous region. The track
snakes through 140km of ridges and
plateaus between Bright and Mt St
Bernard. Visitors should factor in a
whole day for a crossing and expect
to engage low range. High clearance
vehicles are requisite.
The best seasons to access Blue
Rag are spring and summer for wild-
flowers and clear weather, or autumn
for a blustery, raw experience. Track
closures are common in the region
during winter, but can occur any
time between May and November.
Fuel and supplies are available in
Bright, Harrietville and Porepunkah,
while the longest distance between
fuel stops is 160km between Bright
and Harrietville.
