Join Francis and Club 4×4 for an awesome Trip through East Gippsland and the Victorian High Country.


Club 4x4 Trip Notice
Trip Overview
Location:Snowy River & Alpine National Parks - East Gippsland
Location and/or Description of Trip (Itinerary):

We'll meet at midday in Bruthen, then onto Buchan for last fuel. Camp around Jackson's Crossing, then make our way north through the Deddick Valley, then via Wulgulmerang, Suggan Buggan and Cobberas. We'll do a few of the favorites in Mt Gibbo & Pinnibar, but also a handful of tracks I haven't done before. The exact schedule will be determined as we go along, but you'd want to be fairly experienced for this trip with a pretty capable vehicle and recovery gear etc. The condition of a number of tracks is unknown. Trip will finish on the 30th, so there's an opportunity for another night's camping before returning to Melbourne on the 31st (I have to be elsewhere for the evening of the 30th)

Start Location:Bruthen Bakery, Bruthen
Finish Location:Nariel (~40ks south of Corryong)

Princes Hwy via Bairnsdale, then onto Great Alpine Rd to Bruthen
