Little River Gorge

[highercountry]

Just wondering if anybody has walked up (or down) the Little River Gorge in East Gippsland.
I did about ten years ago and it was way and above the toughest walk I have ever done.
From memory it took nearly 3 days to walk about 16 km's from the junction on the Snowy River to the road at the top which takes you down to McKillops Bridge.
Some of the most breathtakingly spectacular country I've ever seen, but incredibly rugged. Sheer 300 ft. rockwalls, one section known as the "sheepdip" which has to be swum to pass through and an amazingly ancient feel to the whole place. Definitely not a walk for the faint-hearted or unfit walker, but well worth the experience.
Has anyone else done this walk/climb, and what were your impressions?

We walked, climbed, clambered, rappelled and pack swam through here on the weekend. Wow! Absolutely amazing. Definitely not one for the faint-hearted. I think we channeled our inner black tailed rock wallaby in getting around out there. After 4 rappels, the sheep dip swim topped off the weekend. We found a second point that had to be swum. Very cold water. We managed to check out Wulgulmerang Falls as well and clambered right to the base below near the Grand Old Duke of York rock climb. Rather than follow Little River all the way to the Snowy we cut up a ridge to the Bluff. A bushwalk that will not be forgotten.

Any photographs guys, your killing me with tails of such awesomeness without pics!

Anything off the Snowy has my interest having almost now paddled the entire river I certainly appreciate how rugged and beautiful the whole region is over there.
