Tom Groggin Track
Dogmans Hut, VIC
49.0 km (2.5 hrs )
★★★☆☆
The Tom Groggin Track provides an alternative, but challenging route to Omeo. This 4WD track was very rutted and steep in places, requiring the use of low range gearing, and the Murray River crossing at Tom Groggin can also be difficult depending on the river level. Note that this track is seasonal, being closed during the winter / spring seasons. The track exits onto a much easier forestry road - the Mount Hope Road.
Tom Groggin campground on the NSW side of the Murray River is a large and well maintained campground, while Dogmans Hut in Victoria is very basic with one picnic table and toilet. This was an interesting entry into Victoria, but I am glad that I was the only vehicle on the track, as reversing down the steep sections would have been incredibly difficult.
