Forget the footy and join Geoff, Clint and Club 4x4 for an amazing trip on the AFL Grand Final long weekend around Big Desert State Park and Wyperfeld NP with an optional trip along the iconic Border Track.

We'll meet at Wonga Campground on the Thursday night. You will need to book and pay a fee for the night; the camping is not site specific and there is lots of space for a large group.

The plan is to run two Trips one around Big Desert, one doing a tour of Big Desert State Park while the other group will continue on and do the iconic Border Track. Friday we'll try and pass by White Springs and checkout the Lookout and Track.

We'll camp together at Blue Gums on Friday night and then split off into two groups and go our separate ways. Then joining up at the next Club Meeting to share our experiences.
