From the start crews headed to Ranceby via Nyora and Poowong, thence into South Gippsland and the Grand Ridge Road. The third section was to Stratford, then on to Ensay and up to Omeo. A hillclimb was to be conducted near Lake Omeo but was scrubbed. It was then over Hotham, still with some snow about, down to Harrietville and on to Wangaratta. The run to the finish and Narbethong was via Alexandra.
