2015 Brochure

We start our journey in the Thredbo Alpine Hotel — follow the mighty Snowy River to its mouth at
Marlo — criss-cross the High Country, made famous by the movie ‘The Man from Snowy River’ —
visit ski resorts you have only heard of and traverse the Great Ocean Road to Warrnambool; before
finishing on the banks of the Murray River at Mulawi, on Anzac Day.
And
what a visual
feast you are in for!
The Desert Duel has now visited every state and Territory in Australia (plus NZ).
In 2015 — the 100th Anniversary of the Gallipoli landing — we will be going to Victoria, the forgotten
state! The state you pass through on your way to Tasmania!
