4wd Treks in good old Vic!

There are a number of clubs and informal groups that do trips all over Vic, where do you live.

Hi MadDog,

I live in Essendon, Melbourne

any around there? or anyone on this forum from this area that goes 4wd'ing?

thanks MadDog

Would be worth joining a club, and then taking up the 4WD Associations reduced cost 4WD training course out at Werribee before you try to head off too far into the distance. It is ~$100 for a night of theory and a day of practical, and well woth the money as an introduction.

Some of the larger clubs (Nissan and Toyota come to mind) have accredited trainers in the club, and also have their own property the use for training. The joining fee is a bit more expensive, but includes the basic training in the cost.

Hi Cipher,

Vic. High Country is a magical spot and ha all the tracks that you could wish for.

Unfortunately it is getting a bit cold in vic. at the moment so i will give the high Country a miss until Dec. but if you are still looking to tag along later in the year let me know and you are welcome.

can anyone point me in the right direction for some good 4wd spots around melbourne area?

Just names of places so i can go out and buy some maps of the place and go out galavanting?

Cipher,
I'm a member of the Pajero Club, but have only been out with them a few times. As others, have said, most clubs are ok, but do not get locked in to doing everything with them. I arrange a number of trips with some ppl I've meet from another forum. We tend to do alot of High Country Trips, (3 days min) & all of us have similar ideas to what is enjoyable 4wding.
We dont go looking for mud
We want to drive, not spend half the day winching/recovering
We like some creature comforts, staying in cabins/bunkhouses for at least 1 night on our trips; hot showers etc
Partners are always welcome
Most importantly, none of us have huge egos, in that we do not have to prove anything & have no interest in pushing the boundaries where breakages may occur.

We have various vehicles from basically stock to a couple with 2''body,4'' suspension lift, twin locked etc etc. Actually our group is heading to Walhalla on the 27/28 May for what we reckon will be another fantastic trip.

As one or two others have said, nothing much happens here with Vic members/guests.

Cheers
Allan Mac

Justin, post up your email addy, and I'll let you know next time we're out.
Due to different work comitments, we tend to go out for day trips on weekends and some nights during the week. Since a slight incident a week or so ago, we are all driving 61 and 62's, cause the hilux is no more. And like you we tend to find mud.
