Heathcote/Tooborac forest area, VIC

See more trips

Hey guys thinking of going for a Sunday drive around Heathcote area goldfields, I’m not too familiar with the area but was around there few weeks ago, was fairly flat area with easy tracks. Lots of history around the place it’s scattered with old digging sites / mine shafts etc. probably looking to spend few hours driving around exploring the place & there is no set itinerary.  Bring lunch/snacks and drinks.

This trip will be suited to people who are new to 4wdriving & have fairly stock vehicles, so if you own a comp truck this is not for you :)

Hey guys I actually posted this trip up so not sure why it’s showing me as different member think there is a glitch with the web site, hopefully the site staff can rectify the issue, anyways if we can get about 5 vehicles the trip will go ahead hopefully can finalise by Saturday morning will keep the interested members posted.
