Trip Details
Trip Rating:Difficult/Very Difficult
Trip Planning:This is an exploratory trip based on some local knowledge and/or online research of track conditions

Any specific requirements?

The Hickey Creek Tk and Burboyne Tk (west section) are rated difficult to very difficult, depending on track conditions. The track conditions are a bit of an unknown at this stage after the winter closure! We will do a bit more research closer to the trip. Full recovery gear and a good set of tyres (AT/MT) are required. There are no toilet facilities at either campsite, so come prepared 🙂
