Our annual 4x4 trip. Camping Davies High PLain Hut. This trip is a Easy to Medium trip. There is some harder tracks if you are wanting to test your vehicle/ knowledge. 

Meeting At Tom Goggin. We will cross the Murray then head up to the Davies high Plain.

We have a facebook event so if you are interested please get in touch and we will give you the URL.

 

What we are planning is... 

Day 1 (Good Friday.) We meet at Tom Groggin at 12 noon then drive up to Davies Plain Camp Ground and we stay in camp, collect firewood, get settled. Have a few beers and cook up a big feast for the rest of the afternoon/ evening.
Day 2. (Easter Saturday) We drive down to Charlie Creek and Limestone Creek.
Day 3. (Easter Sunday) We drive up Mt Pinnabar for a good view at the top. Then come home and do an Easter hunt for the kids and not so little kids.
Day 4. (Easter Monday). We have breakfast and relax before lunch then pack up and head home that afternoon.

Allison, Rach, Phillip and myself will be camping at Davies Plain Hut from the 23rd. If you want to join us for a couple days of relaxation before the rest of the group arrives then we will be at Tom Groggin at 12noon on the 23rd. We will be driving back to meet the group on the 25th at Tom Groggin.

These ideas are up for change if you have something you want to see or do then we will accomodate those suggestions!

Hi All, For some reason I cannot private message anyone on here so here is the message I wanted to send to everyone....

Hi,

Thanks for joining our trip! Allison and I are looking forward to meeting you and your family on this trip! We have a few options for the trip so in the interests of bringing everyone to one conversation I am sharing this group with everyone in the trip.

Hi Mark. Of course you can join the trip. Most tracks are easy to medium and if you want to do harder or learn more about 4x4 driving there is allot of experienced drivers. I will send the Facebook group URLs so u can keep up to date with the trip. Cheers. Pete

HI Paul, Thanks for letting us know mate! Will you be going directly to camp or meeting us at Tom Groggin?

I know Cam and Phil are coming up from Melbourne area so maybe touch base with them on the Facebook group and you might be able to drive up together?

We will be on CB channel 26. And my mobile is 0437 917 619.

I have updated to include the UHF channel. When you get to Tom Groggin just announce you are here. That would be excellent! Pete
