A good route to blue rag is from Talbotville, up south bassalt knob tk to the train carriage then onto north bassalt knob tk which brings you out on blue rag range tk. South bassalt knob tk is one of the steepest, roughest tracks around that area. It is also worthwhile going over blue rag and right to the end of the track[dead end] there is enough room right at the end over the river for 3 cars to camp, it takes about 50 min for the 5km over the summit.
Pick a date in May and put it in VNOG [aido] if i am available that weekend i will lead the trip.
Mayford is closed as the bogholes at the 1st river crossing are impassable due to floods according to parks vic.
