Dargo long weekend trip EASY / MEDIUM

Dargo, VIC

See more trips
Relatively easy/chiled weekend driving. More site seeing than anything as I'm not all that familiar with the area so am open to ideas/tracks, but if we stumble on a nice challenging track it would be rude not to do it. Meet at Dargo hotel either Saturday afternoon and not much 4wding will be done. Sunday is more the day of exploring and adventure, while monday will be spent with a little bit of wheeling followed by the drive home. Will be camping from the hotel as a base camp. Be prepared for cold weather as it could well snow. As i said, it will be relatively easy driving with the odd harder track if we find some. 3 car minimum.

How much does it cost to camp out the back of the pub? Can’t seem to find any prices. I was actually thinking of heading over there myself for a drive around

How many nights will you be staying? I might be up for Friday and Saturday night and head home Saturday arvo. I’m not familiar with the area myself and would like to check it out and do more trips.

Saturday and Sunday night would work even better. Just trying to keep the missus happy and get away by myself at the same time (it’s her birthday) so I’m dead either way

We plan on getting there around the 3:30-4 mark. Set up camp wherever there's space and have dinner at the hotel.
