50kms approximately (including tracks) from the meeting point.
Full Tank from Melbourne will be sufficient for this Trip

BYO Recovery gear is MANDATORY

VEHICLE & EQUIPMENT:
Your vehicle must be Roadworthy and appropriately set up for the trip (if you know of any mechanical or maintenance issues with your vehicle, you must have these fully resolved/rectified before the Trip).
