Ellis Track – April 2017
Join Richard 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 nee 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.
Itinerary
The plan will be to attack Ellis track (which should take all morning at least), then we will cruise around checking out some of the local tracks.
Note that if it raining that the trip may be completely changed. The track is very difficult in the dry; in the wet it is virtually impassable without damage. Still meet at identified location and conditions will be evaluated. There are plenty of other tracks in the area, but nothing so challenging.
Winter @ Mt Blue Rag – May 2017
Join Arron and Club 4×4 on a winter wonderland trip to Mt Blue Rag. What a better time to go and visit one of the iconic tracks in our High Country than in Winter (well close enough!) before the closures set in.
Itinerary
The plan will be to venture to Bright on Friday night and stay in the vicinity before heading to Mt Blue Rag on Saturday. We will then take in some tracks to the west of Harrietville and camp in the Buckland Valley. On Sunday we will check out some tracks in the Buckland before heading home. Should be a cold, but enjoyable weekend.

Relaxing weekend at Top Crossing Hut – March 2017
Join Ian and Club 4×4 in a relaxing and peaceful weekend to Top Crossing Hut. As the title suggests, if you wish to go for day trips out from camp, feel free to do so; conversely, if you feel like lounging around taking in the scenery, this is appropriate too. There are always plenty of fish to catch not too far away at Lake William Hovell as well.
Itinerary
Departing on Friday evening, the plan will be to meet at Mansfield then venture into Top Crossing Hut, crossing the King River a few times before getting into the secluded campsite. From there, it is make it up as you go, the relaxing the better.
Night time fun (Toolangi) – March 2017
Join Brenton and Club 4×4 in dusting off the high beams and tackling the mud and clay of Toolangi at night. The Toolangi Night run is a different way of 4wding and if you haven’t experienced 4wding at night, this is the best trip to do.

Club 4×4 Geo 2017 – May 2017
Join Brenton and Club 4×4 for the annual navigational activity, the Club 4×4 Geo. This year’s Geo will be held in the Rubicon State Forest and will take in some great scenery.
The aim of the Geo is to drive to a series of waypoints, collecting clues in an Amazing Race type format. It requires a good GPS (to enter the waypoints), problem solving skills, a great driver and is a lot of fun.
