So we thought it might be cool to do a trip down Vic High Country way over a weekend. I' m local to East Gippsland and I' ve got some great tracks lined up, and I will get a good few articles out of it. I'm just gauging interest at the moment, so whos keen and when is easiest for everyone? I dont want it to clash with Wesburn so it probably wont be until Feb.

Probably limit it to about 10 cars or we'll never get anywhere

There will be plenty of tough stuff we can do, but for everyone who doesnt want to accidentally wreck stuff all the tracks i have in mind have chicken tracks. Ill head for some cool huts and old mine relics that are off the beaten paths and most of them are rarely visited

as for camping overnight, I plan to head for a huge hut in the hills and I have a great high country plain lined up if the hut is taken.

Camping will be in State forest so bring ya dog, I am haha

Work that weekend.
Anyway I think I'll be better saving some $$$ for a long range tank and getting my reduction gears fitted before any high country trips.

Amz has invited her cousin and partner who live in Omeo, they drive a GU ute and would fit in well.

Also I apologise in advance for my jack Russell puppy...

its usually taken these days anyway, or it would be when we head up on a saturday!

i havent quite decided yet anyway, i want to do up that way but im torn between that or moroka ranges, but without the iconic stuff that everyone does. theres some great tracks out that way. but some rippa campsites up moscow villa way!

Hey feral, you thinking of us leaving on Friday night or bright and chirpy Saturday morning?
I'm easy either way, if leaving Saturday morning I will catch up with my old man in Lakes Entrance on the Friday night.

Ah the proper clean up since that battery went bit while it's apart in doing a heap of sound deadening and interior work. Mainly sort out the electrical stuff properly. Maybe front locker different turbo and intercooler if I get motivated lol

Hey Kat, you might have to check with DELWP or DEPI or DEDJTR or whatever they call themselves now... I am pretty sure that Haunted Stream is still closed for maintenance.
