The concept of this trip is to expose members to varying degrees of driving difficulty, to enable members from the most inexperienced to very experienced Off-Road drivers, to participate in driving some of the tracks of the Victorian High Country. Vehicles must have a minimum of all terrain tyres in good condition (lift kit recommended).

We will be base camping at the Dargo River Inn which has unpowered sites, powered sites and cabins. Camper Trailers and Caravans welcome.

Small convoys will do daily drives to the numerous tracks in the area. Tracks will be grade 3 and 4 (see below). The proposed trips are Billy Goat, Crooked River, Dogs Grave, Grant Historical Area, and Wonnangatta.

Wednesday will be a lay day for members to do their own thing. ie visit Lakes Entrance for Fish & Chips and a movie, do the vineyards, or just chill out.

Note 1: Members do not have to participate every day and can depart on any day if they do not want to stay for the full seven days.

Note 2: The mountain environment can change at any time so be prepared for hot and possibly cold extreme conditions with potential for Rain, Snow, High Winds, Flooding, Extreme Creek Crossings, Deep Bog Holes, and Bush Fires. Possible early trip closures due to potentially dangerous conditions can occur.

Note 3: If you require a cabin or a powered site please contact the Dargo River Inn to make a booking. You do not have to book for a unpowered site. https://www.dargoriverinn.com.au/

Note 4: Caravans and camper trailers are welcome
