Getting There:

FROM THE NORTH:

The site is just minutes out of Yackandandah, approximately 20 – 25 minutes drive from Wodonga;
Turn off the Hume Highway at the Tallangatta Bypass – right onto Kiewa Valley Highway – right onto Wodonga-Yackandandah Rd – left onto Myrtleford-Yackandandah Rd – right onto Back Creek Rd – right onto Schmidt Lane.
Note: fuel is more expensive in Yack, so we recommend fuelling up in Wodonga prior to the last leg of the trip.

FROM THE SOUTH

You can either stay on the freeway to Wodonga and cut back to Yack, following the above instructions, OR
Turn off at Wangaratta and travel up via Everton, Beechworth then Yackandandah. C315 takes about 50 minutes, not as good a road as the freeway
