Funny Gilly. But als wrong.

Aboriginals from the coast and the high country would meet here.

Bogong High Plains, hunting ground for the Bogong Moth.

 

[Manpa]

Close enough for me, Mt Bogong and the Bogong high plains.

All yours RM

In the 1850's the heaviest traffic in Australia was on which road and between which cities.

 

[Manpa]

My guess would be Adel and Melb, copper mines etc in SA and gold discovery in Vic saw many miners shift across plus the Chinese that travelled via the Coorong etc

 

[RM Outback]

No Manpa but I will give you Melbourne, Adelaide doesn't feature likewise copper and the Coorong.

 

[RM Outback]

In the 1850's the heaviest traffic in Australia was on which road and between which cities.

At one end is a city situated in the Mt Alexander Goldfields.

 

[Manpa]

Melbourne to Castlemaine?

 

[Deepseeker]

Gee, at a guess I'd have to say Melbourne & Ballarat?

 

[RM Outback]

No to both Manpa and Deepseeker.

However one of you is on the right track and closer than the other

 

[Manpa]

Melb to Harcourt?
