Club 4x4 Trip Notice
Trip Location
Location:Snowy River National Park
Location and/or Description of Trip (Itinerary):

Trip through the Snowy River region of the Victorian High Country.

I've planned out a basic itinerary, however this may change during the trip based on track difficulty and how fast or slow we get through things. This will generally be a cruisy trip but the tracks will be more difficult compared to previous years. We'll have plenty of time for some camping as well as some well deserved dips in the rivers.

27th Dec 2021:
Melbourne to Jacksons Crossing

30th Dec 2021:
Head for a camp on the Snowy River north of Suggan Buggan, we’ll take a look at the Little River Falls, Wulgulmerang Creek Falls Lookout as well as the Little River Gorge which is the deepest in Victoria. Campsite yet to be decided.

31st Dec 2021:
Today we’ll take Ingeegoodbee Tk to McFarlane Tk and camp somewhere along the way to Native Dog Flat. Then half a day into Native Dog Flat Campground. If it’s busy there we’ll try for a camp along the Limestone Creek instead. We’ll do a quick trip up to the Rams Horn overlooking Native Dog Flat. It provides spectacular views of the surrounding valley.

Ingeegoodbee Tk is rated Difficult, and will require vehicles to have a working winch and all normal recovery gear, recovery points etc

There will be an option for some cars to take a different route to Native Dog Flat via Limestone Creek/Black Mountain Rd if desired and can be discussed once booked.
