Big River / Goulburn State Forest Vic, VIC

See more trips

Touring day trip to Mt Matlock . 7.30am start as is a full day out. Suitable for any 4WD with good condition Light Truck construction A/T tyres minimum . 

Designed for both Experienced and Newbie / Intermediate Experience drivers. Great trip for couples to enjoy together.

A Relaxing Fun day out for all . Plenty of chances to put it into low range and Explore a beautiful area . 

Recovery gear recommended but not essential as I should have enough equipped 4x4's on the day to help out anyone if needed .

We will stop for a coffee early on , and take a lunch break at Woods Point Pub.

Bring your own snacks and drinks to see you through the rest of the day.

There are a few sections that are steep and rocky and the rest could be muddy depending on the weather.

Trip Route :

We did a  recon trip last sunday to check current conditions.

From Cumberland Junction , we will head in via Big River rd , to Frenchmans Spur , follow it all the way through , Plenty of side tracks to play on . 

Through to Matlock , Then Tinger Spur Track down into Woods Point. For a Lunch Break.

Then back to Mt Matlock , follow Corn Hill to Ryan's Spur. Depending on time we can shoot down either Camberville Logging Rd or Hope Tk , back to Big River Rd

ETA around 4-5pm at Cumberland Junction.

After all the ice and snow mud has melted , travel is at a lot slower pace overall as it's mainly a rocky base. 

Corn Hill is pretty bumpy and slow going in sections. You just need to take it easy and slow in places.

Grip is good , air down to 25 psi is perfect for some comfort ( for my car anyway )

No diff locks needed.

It's all about fun and enjoyment and looking after your car . 

Will be a great fun , scenic trip for all to Enjoy.

No worries mate , I see we have 4 cars coming from the Northern suburbs.

I don't mind who comes along , Just as long as they use their proper ID at time of registering. Contact me ASAP please to confirm.

Trip Leader Rick (Spooner)
Thanks for the message Rod , All good, I could not understand why members names were being edited and changed around yet I wasn't touching my computer.
Was confusing for myself and other members wishing to join the trip.
Thought something strange was going on.
Cheers Rick

Ah, no worries, too slow. Thanks

If anyone interested in doing the trip , please keep an eye out if anyone drops out.
It doesn't automatically put those that are interested in a allotted queue.
You have to log in yourself at the time if a space becomes available.

Liam (BeardMoto)
My car was in an accident last night, so I'm hoping the insurance chops out or fixes it before the trip and I'm back in another rig to make it.

For the time being, I'm staying confirmed so I don't lose my spot, but I may end up pulling out.

Cheers.

Rod (The tuff)
Sorry to hear that, good luck mate.

Trip Leader Rick (Spooner)
Thats a real bummer Liam , hope everything works out AOK.
Let me know ASAP as to how you are looking.
Its only fair to other members that are wanting to come along and you should well know pretty quickly , Its a damn shame , but there will be plenty of other trips coming up that you can join in the future , and its only fair to others so they can organise themselves with plenty of time , instead of pulling out the night before.
Cheers Rick
