How are you Brenton ?
I'm liking the March 2012 date too, I will be hard pressed to earn enough Brownie points this year for a big ride away, (to many Renov jobs on the books).
Graeme, I agree last years experience would be hard to repeat, though I am sure that another run in your area would be enjoyable, maybe to revisit Omeo and the GAR down the track would make it a fresher experience.
I don't know how we can get a few more members involved in this discussion, but so far it seems that perhaps the NSW Snowies is drawing interest, maybe we can consider basing in this area (easy for me), in March the Accom can be limited in the High Country as they are prepping for the Ski Season.
the ride program can be endless, short rides, long rides, and one not to miss is the Alpine way (6hr with stops) I'm pretty sure I can sort several rides of 100-200km hops (though I'm not as up with the history of the area as you are with your home base) looping back to base.
There is a Country Pub at Dalgety, that is in the middle of good riding country, that has rooms and counter Meals and also a Camping ground arcoss the road(next to the Snowy River) that could a godd base of Ops. There is however not much else at Dalgety (it makes Omeo look like a Metropolis)
