General Information:
Formally Bonang Highway, C612 is a rural route linking the Snowy River town of Orbost with the ranges to the north of the town and eventually the NSW-Vic border. The route is narrow and windy, and passes through some of the country's most picturesque regions.
The road was established to allow access for people going to the gold mining in the Bendoc area south of Delegate after 1852, and as an access road for logging and other forestry activities in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. 2
