Hi all, I am looking at leading a trip to explore Marysville and surround. 

Total offroad / 4wd distance is around 100km 

  1. Meeting at Healsville Beechworth Bakery https://goo.gl/maps/cVHh6C7UPyysaApVA
  2. Air down at Dom Dom saddle picnic area https://goo.gl/maps/Tr9Em5xyNMopseyx7
  3. Dom Creek Road -> Fisher Creek Road -> Granton Road -> Neds Track -> Rons Track -> Keppel Lookout 
  4. Back to Marysville -> Steavenson Falls 
  5. via Maryville Woods Point Road -> Cambarville picnic ground 
  6. via Big River Road -> Frenchmans Creek Campground
  7. head south onto Frenchmans Creek Camp Track 
  8. Boundary Track -> Corn hill Track -> back onto Boundary Track 
  9. Right onto Ryan Spur Track 
  10. (Check point - either back onto Big River Road or Continue onto Mt Terrible Track) 
  11. Mt Terrible Track (We may see some snow at Mt Terrible) 
  12. Newmans Track
  13. Eildo-Jamieson Road (air up) and head back to Eildon
  14. Eildon -> Melbourne


Early start, meeting at Healsville Beechworth Bakery at 7.30am. (Please arrive earlier if you want to grab some breaky/coffee. I am aiming to move out at 7.45am


BONUS: If time allowed and suit everyone, we may even go to Mt Terrible and come out from Eildon but it will be a big drive, and likely to be driving in the dark. It's for those who are more adventurous. I will discuss and make decision on that day. 

Make sure you bring the following


  1. Recovery gear
  2. CB Radio
  3. Lunch and warm cloth
  4. Gumboot if you don't like getting muddy
  5. If you have a winch, please check it's working and BRING the control 
  6. Check over your vehicle
  7. Fit your recovery hitch and remove your tow ball. 

Note: there will be a lot of kids on this trip so please make sure you keep your children safe especially during recovery (if any).

Cheers, Phil

Winch is recommended now... not a must have

Make sure you do have a good recovery hitch and be able to secure shackles using proper recovery point of your 4wd... winch is recommended now but not a must have... do need a CB radio or even handheld one

No worries. Thankyou Kelvin.
I might past on this until I at least get better tyres. I have proper recovery points on the back but not the front.
Thanks again

Either Jack. It won't be hard trip so Prado should handle just fine.

Just updated trip details.

Hi guys, just put up more details about the route and the schedule of the day. Again, all 4wd trips are different so we will see how we go and plan may not be exactly same on the day depending many factors such as the speed of the convoy and the track condition etc (and if we need to do any recovery). Hopefully it will be a great day and get to meet some new faces. If you have chainsaw, please bring one. I will have mine but just in case. We will be on channel 10.

There will be trees down everywhere, it has been blowing a gale all day in the hills.
A few chainsaws would be very advisable , have a fun and safe day

Anyhow it’s too late to answer And I will understand if I will not get any answer soon

Requirement which is a problem for me I wonder why it’s important for this trip if it’s not hard level?

Thanks

Jack (Jack105) Premium Member
It's only my guess, Kelvin at some point upgraded the trip to hard by mistake, then he told us that it is still easy. I dont have a winch based on the level easy to medium and am still going... I could take my landcruiser 105 but decided to take his sister prado to warm it up a bit...
