Hi all see below the itinerary of this trip. The total distance is about 130km from Buxton to Eildon Dam. Most of the tracks are relatively easy, mainly in 4H or even in 2WD. There are couple section which may require 4L. We will assess the condition and make the call. Again, like any 4wd trips, there are always something unexpected. For instance, some tracks could be closed, or they no longer assessible. You may also get pinstripe if the tracks become overgrown. We will be travelling in a relatively high attitude above 900m. There will be chance that you will see snow this weekend, so make sure you bring enough clothes to keep yourself warm.
Some of the tracks/roads are unknown to me. I have highlighted them in brown.

[Surprise track -> for those who dare to try, and if time permits]
Looking to run an easy/medium day trip near Rubicon/Eildon areas. This will be a great trip for those who are relatively new to 4wding. I will share my 4wding experience with everyone. It's aimed to be a family oriented trip. Family with kids will be more than welcome.
If time allows, we may head to Mt Terrible or Big River.
