Branch Camp - Running Creek (Howqua)
Arrival – Anytime in the afternoon of the 4th . [Some people will be there before that but the official hunts starts on the 4th, so early arrivals are on their own recognisants].
Getting there:
Follow the Mount Buller Road from Mansfield towards Merrijig for 4km. Turn right at the sign to Jamieson and travel for about 26km. Turn left at the Howqua River Road immediately after the Howqua River.
After approximately 10km on gravel road you will reach the Running Creek Camping Reserve sign on your left. The campsite is 300m from this sign. The track to the Reserve is a moderate slope and is accessible to all vehicles. However, following heavy rains this road becomes slippery and may become temporarily inaccessible to 2WD’s.
The Melbourne Branch Banner will be at the entrance to the campgrounds.
