Actually - what about this little suggestion? We go down Friday night (22nd) and camp at our place in Cooma. Use that as our base for the first day or two and do any of a dozen tracks (as described in the Boiling Billy "4WD Tracks of the High Country) all within an hour or so of our place.

There's the Broken Cart Trail near Tantangara Reservoir, There's also the Long Plain Road trail there too.The Ravine Road and Lobbs Hole Powerline Road near Kiandra (pretty close to our place). There are literally DOZENS of trails all quite near.

Anyone?
