There are minimal places in Victoria where you can drive on the beaches unfortunately mate. In fact, hardly anywhere these days...
Depending on how bad the fire is what other options/camp spots are down there.....Coopers Creek, any others???

Yeah there's coopers ck, Walhalla but I don't know of any spots we could all camp
Only beach is near S.A and you need permits through the 4wd club that manages it??
I dont know enough good spots to make suggestions ??
are there any places along the Thomson River where we can camp ???
Are you there Roofy ??
We might have to get back to this thread tomorrow in regards to a back up plan depending on what happens with the fire today, how much it destroys, etc.
Umm....Doesnt look too good actually.....Its been classified as a medium fire, 7 vehicles are there now and it says the size is 80HA.....
This bushfire is out of control.
This message applies to the town of Aberfeldy and the Donnelly Creek area.
Campers and other visitors in the areas north of Walhalla and in the Donnellys Creek and Aberfeldy areas should leave the area immediately
The following roads are now closed:
At Matlock, at the corner of Walhalla Road and Warburton-Woods Point Road
At the Thompson Dam Wall on the Thompson Dam access track
North of Walhalla at the corner of Binns Road and Walhalla Road
Robe is S.A is the only place closest. Nowhere in Vic apart from the dunes at Portland but you must get a temp membership with the Portland dune buggy club by memory. Don't know of any down Gippsland way. 90mile beach would be good but i think its out of bounds for 4 wheelers.
Yeah when you said it to me I remembered afterwards about Portland.
download this pdf on the area....
