On the weekend of the 1st of December a mate in a troopie, Ross and myself+ kids camped on the Murray at Tom Groggin station. Tom Groggin Station being the place it is believed A.B. "Banjo" Patterson is thought to have met Jack Riley and been inspired to write one of our most famous bush poems.
We only really touched on some of the tracks but could recommend the climb up MT Pinnibar on Shady Creek Trk (big ruts some ledges and bog holes) The main circuit of Davies Plain Trk also has a dead end trk called Kings Plain (steep) that lead to a nice camp ground on a remote part of the Murray.
Davies Plain Hut had good camping grounds with impressive fire dens hot plates billy swings and toilets.
Tom Groggin camp grounds on the river also had toilets.
Fishing was above average, trout are always entertaining.
As far as I can tell the summit of Pinnabar is open all year and at just over 1700mtrs some trips failed the summit in early may of this year (Opposite Lock Albury).
Corryong is about the closest on the north side with fuel and all supplies and is about 1.5 hrs from Wodonga.
4.5 hrs from Melbourne
