    Tallarook is your best bet mate... go up the Hume to Broadford then down Davis rd and follow it to you get to a gate... make sure you close the gate after you then follow the track into the place along Jenkins..

    We normally air down at the gate.

    Copy this map and it will see you through most of the place.. I could go on for ages about what tracks to take but it would take forever.

    Would show you around but flat out at the moment.

    Tallarook is the go 57ks past Donnybrook Bridge up the Hume turn right at Ennis and follow road into Forest.
    Just pick any track you see some are technical others are sloopy. After all that rain yesterday
    I think it would make for some great 4x4ing

    Remember to wipe your number plate and stop and headlights clean when you're ready to come home

    Be very careful using all terrains on the hills up there mate. If you can't get mud tyres by tomorrow I would be avoiding the steep climbs and descents.

    Wombat would be a blast after all the rain we got, ATs would make it hard work any where after rain.

    Clay and all terrains not a good mix but if you have a winch and a few guys go for it I say but
    talk before doing. some tracks can bite you on the butt big time

    Definately don't want to bite off more than we can chew. All up will be about 5 cars. Any tracks that you guys recommend? Is Jenkin's Track OK?
