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.
