The Pyrenees - VIC

Sardine track condition needed. I'm planning a trip for a group this weekend in which I guaranteed to make it mild enough for the wives to be in a good enough mood to jump into a Jacuzzi after the event, but has to be enough fun for us to be worthwhile doing. It will be around the North end of Victoria's Pyrenees mountains. Its all planned out and we will head down Sardine Rd from Moonambel way and plan to go thru Percydale historic Area. As you head South, Sardine Rd becomes Sardine track and gets a bit steep but I just can't get reliable info on how steep this section is. After this section its an easy run via No2 track to Mt Avoca but I seem to remember a section there on one of the Pyrenees Exploroz trips where there were wheel lifting ruts on Sardine (I have a picture of Sir Kevs underbelly about there). Either of the above might turn off the girls. So can anyone remember what I'm talking about ?

What better place to go for a drive. Tracks of varying grades and great camping spots available. The Glenpatrick reserve commity are doing well in providing additional facilities to campers as funds allow.

The Pyrenees are an unexpected treasure. The area has remnant vegetation that is variable and was forestry years ago. It is managed by the Victorian DSE (Sustainability and Envioronment) and they allow good 4WD access to areas all through the Pyrenees Range. The tracks are variable from easy to challenging. The ones on the Eastern side towards Avoca have rocky outcrops and ledges to climb up or down. There are some steeper tracks within the area, but an easier "chicken" track is available
