I see many of you like the idea of the Briagolong/Dargo trip so I thought of this idea for a trip and want to see how many are interested.
The trip will take off from my place (Swan Reach near Lakes Entrance) and head through Buchan and on to Mckillops bridge.
From there we head up the Dedick Trail which goes through the entire snowy river national park (50Km) and is one of the best and steepest in the high country with the famous Joan staircase, then back through Jacksons Crossing (crosses the snowy) to camp. Depending on track conditions and time we either camp at Jacksons crossing or get back to my place. There is many other tracks running off the Dedick so depends on time etc how far we go.
Most of the tracks are not difficult some sections of the Dedick can be steep and large rocks. It depends on how often they grade it.
I would suggest at least winch and recovery gear with good clearance.
I have 10 acres of land on the Tambo River and you are welcome to camp on the property, we have nice flat area with camp fire and power if required.
It would be best if you can get here on Friday arvo/night so we can head off early Sat morning.
The dedick trail is quite long trip with no fuel at all from Buchan till we get back.
My place to Buchan is 55Km, Buchan to Dedick Trail is 80Km Dedick trail is 50Km then enf of Dedick to Jacksons is about 40Km then Jacksons to Buchan is 25Km, so you will need to do 200Km odd with maybe 40% in low.
This trip is not a serious 4x4 trip by any means, there is approx 40% black stuff and the rest dirt. An amazing area though if you love the bush.
