High Country Touring and 4x4 Trip - Just relax and get out there MEDIUM

High Country - West of Dargo, VIC

See more trips

**** We will be on channel 39 *****

Dirt Mappers! I am looking to run a trip to high country likely to be the popular spot such as Billy Goat Bluff track and Pinnacles. If time allowed, may also head to Mt Kent which is a hidden gem to some.

I will be camping at Italian Flat Camping Ground north of Dargo on Friday night. If you can't camp, please meet us at Dargo Pub on Sat early morning. https://goo.gl/maps/9Z8E7hje7J53uZjT6

We have quite a lot of distance to cover so make sure you are self sufficient and have enough fuel (especially for those with extra cylinders :)

I would rate this trip as Medium.

Note: Excessive drinking or drinking while driving on this trip is strictly prohibited. You will be banned from 4WDTRIP forever. Sorry I have to put this strict rule, just in case we are getting too excited after lockdown. Please also make sure you behave and respect each other. Again, if any unreasonable behaviour or anything that could cause any potential harm or damage to anyone or vehicles, sorry, you are out from my trip and 4WDTRIP. I may sound a bit strict but this is a basic and common sense and have to set some ground rule before the trip starts. Thank you

And everyone who knows me wont be surpised if I ask if we could 'detour' via B1 or B2 or whatever it is down the the Chromite mine (nice camping spot) and out via Mt Margaret track :-)

18 Jun 2021

Kelvin (TREXGQ)

I have done B1 and B2... it will be a bit of driving from Dargo on Sat to hit that but let see..... don't mind to set up camp in the dark...... Anyone been to Mt Kent before?

18 Jun 2021

Kelvin (TREXGQ)

Well well well.... we have a full house! Looking forward to catching up with you. Please make sure you bring a chainsaw with plenty of fuel.... we could be in for a mission after the recent storm.... weather forecast seems to be "ok". There will be some shower but nothing major.... well, it's going to be hard to predict with Victoria weather. It's still better than NOT going or being locked down...

One more thing, it is imperative that excessive drinking or drinking while driving on this trip is strictly prohibited. You will be banned from 4WDTRIP forever. Sorry I have to put this strict rule, just in case we are getting too excited after lockdown. Please also make sure you behave and respect each other. Again, if any unreasonable behaviour or anything that could cause any potential harm or damage to anyone or vehicles, sorry, you are out from my trip and 4WDTRIP. I may sound a bit strict but this is a basic and common sense and have to set some ground rule before the trip starts. Thank you

Hi all, I am looking at heading over to camp early. If anyone wants to meet, I am happy to meet at 1pm at Officer BP. Also, it seems that Licola will not have fuel for the next few weeks. As a result, I may plan the route to do a loop on Sat and head back to Dargo or near by to camp on Sat night. I will further update. Weather forecast there could be light snow later this week.
