[talk-au] New blogs on unsealed roads in Victoria

[Graeme Fitzpatrick]

Response from one of the blokes on MySwag (who much prefers quiet deserted
gravel over busy bitumen roads! :-)):




*Brilliant !Shall explore that one further.I did similar across Tas, from
St Helens to Campania over several days which was fun.I'm looking at maps
and planning a trip from the head waters to the outfall of a major
Victorian river for when all this Covid stuff is over. *

Thanks

Graeme
