Deddick Trail - Orbost
One of Australia's best 4WD tracks, the 43km Deddick Trail journeys through the heart of the beautiful Snowy River National Park. Sited along the Snowy River, the national park is in a remote wilderness area and features some magnificent scenery, spectacular deep gorges and forests of Grey Gum, Alpine Ash, Messmate and Native Pine. It’s a challenging drive with some steep climbs and descents, and the beauty of the surrounding country, the great camping and the lack of other travellers makes it a great Australian touring experience. The Deddick Trail also passes through state forest and alongside the Rodger River Wilderness, an incredibly pristine area of streams and fauna. McKillops Bridge is the finishing point of the Deddick Trail, and one of the few places in the national park where you can access the Snowy River by conventional vehicle. Just upstream of the bridge are wide sandy beaches, where you can swim in shallow rock pools between the rapids.
