Wombat State Forest tour – March 2019

Published by Club 4x4

Join Club 4×4 and Mark on a tour around Wombat State Forest.

This is the take two after the first trip had to be cancelled.

Track notes:
Potter Tk – We turned around because it just stopped!
Ottie Tk (North not on HEMA is on Vic Topo and Meridian maps) – We turned around, the track had rock steps to go down that where about a foot or two tall, and some very deep ruts, more than we were setup for!
Ottie Tk (To the east to Lerderderg Rd) – Large tree across the road, the ‘chicken track’ around it is certainly interesting!
Most of the other roads where either good gravel roads or clay / rock with some rutting, easy to stradle the ruts in the dry, in the wet would be a different story! Although most tracks are seasonally closed!

Ellis Track – January 2019

Published by Club 4x4

Join Brenton and Club 4×4 on an exciting adventure to the infamous Ellis Track.

Ellis track has a well deserved reputation as one of the most challenging tracks in Victoria if not Australia (http://blog.mud-maps.com/blog/2013/category/australias-most-difficult-4wd-track).  This trip is not for the faint of heart and only those members with well setup rigs and experience should book.
