Mt disappointment camping trip MEDIUM / HARD

Mt disappointment state forest, VIC

See more trips

Hey guys this will be my first trip that i will be leading, so your more then welcome to recommend any good tracks or spots... 

 

We will  be heading out to some of the tracks we did on our previous trip with kelvin and jason...

Also will be doing new tracks including the ladder track we couldnt do last time because of a fallen tree... Some of the tracks will be Hard and some will be medium so please make sure you have 4wding experience. We might also be doing some touring and sight seeing as we do have 2 days there.

 

It will be a 2 day trip, we will be staying at anderson Garden camp ground (If its to busy we can go to another camp ground) for the night and will be returning back to home on the sunday, around Mid day...

 

Please only come to this trip if you a prepered to camp for the night (even if it is raining) and make sure you bring all camping gear etc....

We will have a open fit fire and eat dinner/ breakfast at the camp ground.

 

Will be handing out a small map of mt dissa and also some info about the around, camp grounds etc..

 

* Please note that we might need chainsaws and will need to drag the tree out of the way to do the Ladder Track as last time we were there it was Blocked off.

I live pretty local to dissa and me and my fiance may bring our little boy along for the weekend. If that is the case we wouldnt be able to camp due to bottles and all that baby stuff. If they dont come then i will be camping and have a couple mates along in my car

Hi Stephen
We don't normally allow members to bring their mate (car) if they are not on the Join list. The reason is that imagine if everyone bring their mate, the group will be too large to managed. There is no reason your mate can't open an account. We also need to make sure they release any liability issue to against the trip leader when they join a trip. We also need to know if their vehicle is insured or not.

Maybe if we don't get other cars, we should just open it to a few 'day trippers' and if they don't want to stay at the end of the day, there will just be more room around the fire for us.
Clearly there are plenty of people on the forum who would like the drive.
28 Jul 2015
Trip Leader Musti (boss200) Premium Member
Meh dont worry david if they want to come n stay they can if not we can go around the tracks ourselves lol

28 Jul 2015
David (DSPIES)

Mostly the high country for touring and Toolangi and Gembrook(back in the day) for the more challenging stuff.

Nice a u bring one more person??
28 Jul 2015
David (DSPIES)
Yep, my wife is coming although i think she will be closely watching the weather forecast.
Our current tent touring tent is 'mostly' waterproof although she would describe it as 'seasonally' waterproof meaning it's waterproof when it doesn't rain.
28 Jul 2015
Trip Leader Musti (boss200) Premium Member

I'd say it will be pretty sparse with the numbers of people that go through there (and wet in light of the weather).

I'll throw a bag in the car.
29 Jul 2015
Trip Leader Musti (boss200) Premium Member

Sorry i have been sitting on this trip because i was hoping my car would be out of the workshop in time. Unfortunately i have been told i won't have it until thursday so unfortunately i won't be joining you on this one.
I will be heading up to cape york on saturday for 5 weeks.

"I will be heading up to cape york on saturday for 5 weeks" is probably the best excuse anyone could come up with. enjoy the trip.

Meanwhile, there are still spots available folks. get on board
