This will be an easy comfortable weekend away, leave your camping gear at home , I will be staying at the Dargo Motor Inn 03 51401314 and dinner will be at the pub.

We will enter the tracks out of Lindenow ( half way between Stratford and Bairnsdale ) and head north on Weir lane, Wattle creek rd. onto Tabberabbera rd. Gidley tk. Storer tk. Friday spur tk. Mt. Steve tk, we will cross the Wentworth river then plan to check out Orton tk, having been told it's to steep and to hard I feel we at least should have a look, we then continue on Mt. Steve tk, Gidley tk, Birregun rd, Stock route tk then onto Upper Dargo rd, if time permits we may venture further north then out to Upper Dargo rd and back down to Dargo.

I will leave Sunday open at the moment , we can disscuss over dinner , ideally I would like to be aired up and on my way home by about 3pm.

You will need lunch for Saturday and breakfast and lunch for Sunday.

Dargo has a general store with fuel.

I have not driven these tracks, so while we may come across some challenges , we will certainly have an adventure.

I estimate we will through Stratford around 7.45/8.00am and then on to Lindenow by about 8.30/8.45am.

How many Km do you think we will cover on the tracks? Not familiar with ant of the tracks you have mentioned so it will be a 1st for me as well
05 Sep 2017
Trip Leader Allan (Big Pig) Premium Member
Matt if you fill at Stratford at a rough guess I would say about 150ks to Dargo with about 120 on unmade roads and about 50/60 low range.
I think there is fuel at Lindenow also.
As you probably know there is no gas at Dargo.

Mmmmm as of 8.30pm 2 Jeeps and 2 Landrovers, what could possibly go wrong.

I might add the best map for Saturday will be the Rooftops, Bairnsdale/Dargo/Omeo adventure map
05 Sep 2017
Matthew (discomatt)
Good I will have those km covered easily even with the old girl needing a tune up, seems to be using extra fuel lately but just bought a new toy so not going to get to carried away with the old D1 because its just a bush toy now.
Sounds like the beginning of a classic joke " 2 Landies and 2 Jeeps head bush"...
To be continued ;-)

Does anyone want to share a room? Room with 2 single beds is $115 at a pinch we could get 3 in a room. They may have another fold out bed available or a self inflating mattress on the floor. Spoke with All today and he and Dave are sorted in one room. I only snore fart and burp a little bit...

I'll be at stratford bp servo at 745. Saturday morning. You can brim the tanks there if you have range anxiety like me. Bakery makes a good coffee too.
07 Sep 2017
Matthew (discomatt)
Ah don't worry about the winch, you wont need it and all the other cars will have one if worst comes to worst... Have you sorted a room yet Daniel ?
07 Sep 2017
Daniel (wj_dan)
