The Dunes of Wyperfeld take 2 with Club 4x4 in September 2017

Wyperfeld National Park with Club 4x4 on Grand Final weekend 2017

SO POPULAR, WE NEED TO HAVE TWO TRIPS AT THE SAME TIME!

Join Geoff and Club 4×4 escape the city on Grand Final weekend by exploring the dunes of Wyperfeld National Park. The plan is to travel the tracks of Wyperfeld National Park and Big Desert.

Starting at Hopetoun, we will head west into the Big Desert National Park to Big Billy Bore via Lake Albacutya and Milmed Rock Track. Camping at Big Billy Bore on the Friday night.

Next day, we will head to the northern parts of the park and then east to one of the campgrounds. We will make our way home on the third day via Nhill.

This is a very scenic and enjoyable trip and those who haven’t experienced sand driving, this is a great experience.
