Bookings Open
Join Geoff, Clint and Club 4×4 for a Snow Trip to Mt Skene…
We will run 2 trips, one from Walhalla to Jamieson (South/North) and the other from Jamieson to Walhalla (North/South). We will get bookings now and submit for the Trip with FWD Victoria as soon as the Permit System Opens. The Trip could happen a week or two either side of the allocated date depending on when we can get the permit for. We will book up to 20 vehicles with two groups, one heading from Jamison south and the other heading from Licola or Walhalla North. We will be camping at Mt Skene so be prepared to camp above the Snowline.
The South/North trip will meet near Walhalla or Licola Friday night and head off on Saturday morning north to the Licola-Jamieson Road via Aberfeldy and Mt Selma. We’ll then follow the Licola-Jamieson Road to the summit of Mt Skene where we plan to camp. On Sunday we’ll head down to Jamieson.
The North/South trip will commence from Jamieson and tackle the route in the reverse direction.
Participants will be allocated to either trip as we get closed to the date. This allocation will be so that there is a mix of experienced drivers on both trips.

| Any specific requirements? | This is an Alpine environment, will be cold and potentially wet and windy. Bring appropriate clothing and footwear. Vehicles must have low range 4WD capability with good AT or MT tyres, good ground clearance. Usual recovery gear of a snatch strap, shackles, shovel, dampener plus snow chains and recovery tracks. Warm clothes and wet weather gear. A tent/swag (pop-up tents can prove to pop-down in heavy snow), sleeping bag (suitable to better than -10 DegC), and sleeping mat suitable for camping in the snow. A full tank ex Moe or Mansfield. If you’re using diesel then fill with Alpine diesel (we need to check/advise if available at Moe as we get closer to trip date) and/or add additive to stop it jelling – the instructions on most additives indicate, that you can’t add too much. Approx. distance from Walhalla to Jamieson is 150 Km of mainly low range driving. |
