Day 7 Queanbyan to Corryong. Monday 19th March
KM 323
BEAR RIDES 15, 53
I have just set up the tent in an idyllic little camping ground called Colac Colac Caravan Park after a beautiful days riding through the mountains. The weather has been superb and is predicted to remain the same tomorrow for the ride out of the mountains and down to the coast east of Melbourne.
From Queanbyan I headed down to Cooma, where you turn west across the Alpine national park through Jyndabyne, Threadbo, Khancoban and Corryong.

It's all steep alpine roads and rises to an altitude of about 1700 meters according to my Garmin GPS. There is a park entry fee heading into Threadbo of $6 if you are going to stop but I headed straight through as it was not the Ski season and the village itself was empty.

There are some good camping spots along this route one in particular called Tom Groggin. If you are from overseas and want to see Kangaroos this is the place. I pulled up there and a pack of them arrived almost immediately.

Stopped at Colac Colac Caravan Park for the night which is about 6 kms past the town of Corryong. Definitely recommend this camping ground if you are tenting.

This was a top days ride and if the weather is good mark it on your map ... you wont be dissapointed. :-)
