Ride suggestions - Vic Alpine area

Like most people, my mental health isn't great whilst in this lockdown and I'm going to spend some time doing the next best thing to riding; planning a future ride. So, anticipating a week long trip later this year, can you all please suggest roads and routes to do whilst basing myself at...

After all those roads and all those years, it becomes a bit of a blur, but I am sure we haven't gone past Falls Creek through to the Omeo Hwy T intersection and I think we haven't done Dargo High Plain as that's a lot of dirt, maybe 100ks or more. Yep, the border is a lottery for a good while yet.

Done Dargo over the dirt on the Lav years ago - great fun. Another worth riding is the Snowy River road from Jinda to Buchan. Awesome dirt. Camp under the stars on the gravel of the river. So much to explore if you like dirt.
 
We did the later, road from Jinda to Buchan. Awesome dirt connected to The Barry Way heading home from the 1st Island GP. Approx 350ks of dirt. Interesting getting fuel at some lonely one bouser shop in the middle somewhere. Good fun till it rained and then not so much fun.
 
I rode a short section of dirt road on my Benelli Tre a couple of years ago. Unbeknownst to me when I started on that road, there was a water truck a few km ahead spraying water on the road. Don't ask me why. It made the surface as slippery as grease and the wheels threw fine mud up into all the works of the bike (it's got joke mudguards). Thankfully he'd only watered a few km, so I was soon past it. I gave the bike a good clean when I got home but I was still finding dried mud in amongst the wiring under the tank and seat a year later.
 
I have suggested dirt routes on a regular basis and always turned down. I'm keen on my new 750 enduro if you are Vince. I see there's a nice chott for sale, might be a bit hard to keep up on the bitumen sections😀
