TJM Sunbury trip to Wombat State Forest EASY / MEDIUM

Wombat State Forest, VIC

See more trips

We will meet at the McDonalds carpark around 8:30AM. There is a gym next door that is empty so there is plenty of car park spots. People who want to grab something to eat or a coffee can do so. We will have a quick meeting about the trip at about 8:50AM and head off at 9:00AM. As there will likely be 15 vehicles plus the TJM Sunbury cars, we will aim to split into two groups of 8-10 vehicles.

We will enter via Carrolls Lane and the two groups will complete two loops. We will meet in the middle about 12:30 for lunch at Upper Chadwick Camp Ground. TJM Sunbury will be putting on a BBQ lunch. We will aim to head back out by 1-1:30 to complete the other loop for each group.

We will aim to meet back at the start of the track just off Carrolls Lane about 4-5:00PM and debrief.

This day is not intended to be a hardcore trip and is focused primarily on newer 4WDers who want to gain experience and confidence on things like hills, ruts, bog holes etc. If you have a moderate amount of experience, there will also be some fun tracks you can do if you want to push it a bit more. As always, there will be an easier track for those who want to build their confidence.

Tracks we aim to complete include, Distillery, Andersons Mill, XL, Firebreak 1, Ratcliff, Diggers and Amblers Lane. Should be a great day and look forward to seeing you out there.

    Thanks to all the guys at TJM Sunbury and 4wdtrip for holding the event and bbq today, thoroughly enjoyed the day. Sorry I had to head off quick after pumping up tyres, too many police hanging round. Hope none of you got done. Looking forward to coming out on another trip with you guys soon!

    A massive Thanks to Kalvin, 4wdtrip.com.au and TJM Sunbury for an "action packed" day and for supplying the bbq (even tho we didn't quite make it there on time) A special thanks to Karen who started cooking at 11am and waited around trying to keep the food warm until we were able to arrive at 2:15!! Oh and how we can forget the big thanks to the coppers for their contribution!! Adrian we can not express our gratitude for what you did for us today, you went completely out of your way to help us, we owe you ;). Also a big thanks to Graham for the lift home.. really appreciate all the help today guys!! Loved the idea of the prizes (not only because I got one) really unexpected, HUGE THANKS TO THE TJM TEAM!! A great day with great people for an even greater day with a huge turn out. Well done all involved and well done TJM TEAM, definitley looking forward to future TJM trips, hopefully the TJM team can stay on board with 4wdtrip, awesome teamwork, and even better seeing TJM getting out there, helping and contributing to the 4wd community!! Keep up the good work guys!!!!

    Hi guys, it seems that there is a small glitch with the Upload Photo function. Please do not upload any photo until it's been fixed. It must be due to this TJM branded trip page, sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused.
