Dunno Rich, I don't drink coffee. But since I worked in what is now the produce store for 6 years (when it was Mansfield Fruit Palace) that's where my bais would lie.

No rush though, I can't see myself getting home until xmas.
How's things with you anyway? you should drop into the gym and catch up after you've been there and give us the scoop on whether it's worth going home for.

Martin, maybe we could synchronise a trip to develop the area, put red tape on any lines with potential and make a limited edition guide for the whole place. (Add maniacal laugh here...)

I'd be a bit shocked if you can make it from Shepparton to Barjarg in 35 Mins!!! (Benalla to Barjarg in 35 sounds right though).

The granite further into the Strathbogies was often quite featured, very corse grained and could be quite loose. remided me of a giant egg peeling its shell.
and then there were entire boulders that were completely blank. hmmmmm.

I can't see it being an amazing area, but It'll be fun to look at regardless.
