Welcome to another great rest stop. You may wonder what a GAP is! A gap is a land form that is a low point or opening between hills or mountains or in a ridge or mountain range , often a saddle, and Tobias Gap is a good example. At 1120m above sea level and about one third of the way to the top, it is named after JIM TOBIAS. Jim, born in Bright was a prolific photographer and postmaster at Harrietville from 1899 until 1915. As a member of the Harrietville Progress Society, in 1906, Jim was instrumental in getting the old miners bridle track up the Bungalow Spur regraded and recut to facilitate travel in all seasons to the majestic mountains above. He married, had 5 daughters and played in the brass band. When tourism, hiking and skiing soon became popular, Frank Wraith's mountain ponies were available for transport as far as they could go to Mt Feathertop. They then dismounted and sent the ponies riderless on the return journey. Further information can be found in Ian Stapleton’s book Hairy Chested History Colorful Characters of Hotham and Harrietville. The cache has room for swaps and can be found on the knoll close by. Note - I have done numerous GPS readings that are averaged. Enjoy and please treat with care!
