Bushwalk Australia

Hi all,

We are hoping to start our hike at Rumpoff saddle next week (hiking north). Im wondering if anyone can give any information on the condition of the Jamieson- Licola Road? Is it actually driveable or will the snow/rains have made areas impassable?

Thanks in advance.

SEASONAL ROAD CLOSURE - SECTION OF JAMIESON - LICOLA ROAD

Pursuant to clause 7 of Schedule 11 of the Local Government Act 1989, Council advises, the implementation of the seasonal road closure of part of the Jamieson-Licola Road.

The specific section of road affected is from the Mt Sunday Road intersection, approximately 36 kms from Jamieson and at elevation 1200m, through to the Mansfield / Wellington Shire Boundary.

The closure will take effect 16 June – 27 October 2016 inclusive.

No access will be permitted to this section of road during this time regardless of weather conditions unless under permission issued by Four Wheel Drive Victoria - Phone 03 9857 5209(Conditions apply).

Everybody will find out once the gates opens on the 28th. Currently the only access to the road is via the Victorian 4wd club mentioned above or the local council, possibly their forum may have some recent information.

Thanks. We have spoken to the 4WD club. They were not able to tell us much.
Looks like we might be walking from the Mansfield shire boundary into Rumpoff Saddle.... only an extra 17kms!
