The road
The valley floor stage of the Victoria Alpine collection, running north from the King Valley Road junction through open farmland to Moyhu. Unlike the mountain stages, this road is fast and wide - long straights connected by sweeping open bends through cleared agricultural land with the Warby Ranges visible to the west. Moyhu is a small township at the northern end of the valley with a pub and a general store, a sensible stopping point before the return south. The valley floor character contrasts sharply with the tighter stages earlier in the collection.

Why this road
The region
The King Valley opens northward from the ranges around Whitfield into the broader Ovens Valley country near Wangaratta. The lower valley is agricultural - cattle, grapes, and some of the original tobacco country - and the road carries more traffic than the mountain stages as it approaches the highway at the north.
Before you go
Fuel in Moyhu or Wangaratta. The valley road is well maintained and accessible year-round. Good wine country accessible from the route.
