- This camping trip begins at Native Dog Flat camp ground, East of Omeo.
Heading out of camp the next day, we take on Limestone Creek Track.
This track has a number of very steep section that require caution on those steeper sections of the track.
Once we get up onto Davies Plain Track, it's quite an easy 4x4 track. The track winds it's through high country open grassy plains, with a number of great camping spots.
The drive along Davies Plain Track is well worth exploring in the Vic High Country.
The further you travel East in the Vic High Country, the terrain really changes.
This track over Davies Plain would be one of the premier 4WD tracks in the whole of the Vic High Country.
I highly recommend camping at Davies Plain Hut, it's a large grassy area surrounded by beautiful snow gums and you can look inside the historical mountain cattlemen hut thats in the camp ground.
Just remember that Davies Plain Track closes on May 30th each year, and doesn't re-open until November 30th each year.

I have just added Davies Plain Track to my list, thanks Tim.
G'day Steve,
Mate that is a fantastic trip. You will really love that part of the high country.
It wont open until November 30th.
Camp at Davies Palin hut for sure. Stunning country.
Thanks mate for your feedback.
Cheers Tim
Camped at Murry then Mcfarlans Flat ( the apparent highest vehicle access point on the Murry River) amazing spot.
(Just watch out for the jumping jacks) lime stone after seeing Stockman's Hut AKA Davey's. lots of brumby's.. Came in from the other end. Then the last trip the Beloka Ck broke bank and the trip was called off ( 2008) So this is again on the list of things to do. awesome video mate.
That whole Davies Plain area is stunning.
Im must get back up that way some day.
Always plenty of Brumbies up around that way.
Thanks for your reply.
Cheers Tim.
@@timbates4wdadventures Absolute pristine spots mate.

Again might see you on the track mate and Definitely have a beer and a yarn.
@@DJSAS fair chance I’ll catch you one day mate.

G'day mate, it sure is amazing country the further East you go from Omeo.
The next solo camping video im editing at the moment is from over that side.
Thanks for your reply mate.
Cheers Tim.
@@timbates4wdadventures I can't wait to see it mate! I've been to Omeo many times but never east from there. Looking forward to that as i know it's beautiful, hilly, green country out that way! Cheers mate.

Has Davies Plain track ever been open?
Gday mate.
Not for a while.
It’s closed at the moment fire to the bushfires earlier this year.
I hope it’s open for this season, I’d like to drive it through to Tom Groggin.
Cheers Tim.
@@timbates4wdadventures Hi Tim, it was shut last year and I’m pretty sure the year before too 😕
Let’s hope so. Cheers
@@MrFastFarmer The year i made that video we could only go as far as Davies Plain hut then come back. Been closed for a fair while.
It's such a nice drive.
Another ripper video mate. Do you do tag alongs?
Thank you for watching.
I don't run tag along tours any more.
Im now writing detailed 4wd itineraries for people. Let me know if you would like any more information about the itineraries.
Loving these extended touring video. A lot of work but we all appreciate it.
Thanks for watching, I greatly appreciate the feed back.
Stacks of work goes into filming these trips.
I am a one man band, running three cameras.
But, I really enjoy making them.
Hi Tim your a bugger it's been many years since I 4x4 in the far east Victoria high country and no I want to go back up there so bugger there more trips I have to do.
Cheers mate. That part of the High Country is pretty amazing, thats for sure.
I hope you can get up that way once the gates open.
Yep I be out and about in the High Country this year I got no plans to head of Outback.
yep I be up there this year
Top stuff mate.
Thats the go mate.
I wouldn't mind seeing some of central Australia some day.
Hey Tim do you run sway bars in your patrol ?
Gday mate,
Yes I do.
Still run the standard Nissan sway bars.
Would ride like a boat without them.
Cheers Tim
Hi Tim! Great vids mate. I am looking at taking my 4wd ute upto the Upper Murray to try and get as close to the source of the Murray as i can get, and bye the looks of my maps the closes i can get without doing too much hiking is at -36.794868, 148.171803 Is Cowombat flat track accessible via vehicle to the coordinates I have just given. The reason i ask is there is no videos on youtube of this track. I recon this would be the best track to take if it was open as it is pretty much one turn of the main track "Limestone Rd" and it takes you directly to were i want to go. If not my research tells me to go via cobberas track and then turn left onto MacFarlane flat track. would luv to hear your feedback.
Also I noticed that on Whereis maps call Limestone Rd "Limestone - Blackmountain Rd" however Google maps call it "Limestone Rd" can you please confirm what it is actually called. Note: I have not checked it out on hema maps as yet.
Cheers for Now and am looking forward to many more of your vids. Have a safe and wonderful New year.
Hi Craig,
I haven't been to the start of the Murray River. I have been to the Poplars, which is the highest point in the Murray River that you can drive you 4wd.
One day I would like to hike into the head waters of the Murray, would be amazing to see.
As far as Limestone Road. I have driven Limestone Track many times which begins not far from Native Dog Flat. Its far from being a road, its pretty steep in spots and 4wd only.
I hope that helps you out a bit mate.
Happy New Year mate and plenty more videos are coming.
@@timbates4wdadventures Hi Tim! Thanks for the feedback. Poplars camp may be a good idea as i only have an unmodified 1997 holden rodeo 4WD. What a bugger there is not much info on Cowombat flat track to the Murray River. I am looking at going over that way in april next year, which should keep me out of the fire danger and before heavy snow. I will probably head for Cowombat flat track first via the Limestone Rd and take a look and see if Cowombat track still exists and if it is accessible. I know the limitations in my old girl "97 Rodeo" so if i think its a bit dangerous i will probably abort any attempt to reach the coordinates mentioned above.
Thanks again Tim
and as always mate! Take Care and looking forward to the next lot of vids.
Happy New Year!!!
Yeah for sure mate. The Poplars would be a good starting point, if you can walk in from that point.
April is a great time to go, the weather at that time of year is really nice.
You have a great trip when you, and I hope you make it the head waters of the Murray River. @@craigtsadventures7414
@@timbates4wdadventures Cheers Tim.
No probs mate. @@craigtsadventures7414
Where do you get your timber from
Do you mean campfire wood?
Cheers Tim
@@timbates4wdadventures yes tim srry firewood are you allowed to cut falling branches in the scrub heard not really aloud to Vic parks and gardens
@@CraigWinter-gc6ju I never take my firewood from standing trees even if dead.
Only off the ground.
Hi tim. Great video thanks.do you know if that Davies plain is reopend? Can we get from Tom groggin to limestone via Davies plain? Cheers Lance
G'day mate,
Thanks for your feed back on the video.
As far as I know the track is now open all the way through.
But, it would be worth calling the Park Victoria office in Omeo on 5159 0600 they would know for sure.
Tim Bates 4wd Adventures cheers mate... Will do for sure 👊🏻
No worries mate. @@crack-a-tinny4x471
Hey mate do you know if the entire track is open through to Tom grogginess yet?
Gday mate,
Im not sure if Davies Plain Track is open all the way through yet.
If you call Parks Victoria at Omeo on - 51590600 they would be able to tell you for sure.
