Big River State Forest Vic, VIC

See more trips

Touring day trip to Mt Terrible . Early start as is a full day out. Suitable for any 4WD with good condition Light Truck construction A/T tyres minimum . 

Designed for both Experienced and Newbie / Intermediate Experience drivers. Great trip for couples to enjoy together.

A Relaxing Fun day out for all . Plenty of chances to put it into low range and Explore a beautiful area . 

Recovery gear recommended but not essential as I should have enough equipped 4x4's on the day to help out anyone if needed . 

Bring you own food and drinks to get you through the day. We will stop for a coffee early on , but after that , its all day in the bush.

There are a few small sections that are steep and rocky and the rest could be muddy depending on the weather.

Trip Route Update :

After we did a  reccon trip last sunday , I've altered my original route plans. 

From Cumberland Junction , we will head in via Big River rd , and follow through to the end it Is mostly 2wd  , but 4wd past Hope Track to Enochs Point , Plenty of fallen trees and rocks.  It has small sharp rocks, rough and washed out and slow going in this section. 

After that we will travel on the tar for a few klm's and hit Mt Terrible track from the Top North end heading south back towards home direction. 

Stop for a lunch break with magnificent views all round . Work our way to Mt Terrible  then onto Mt Terrible South to Hope Track , were we will descend back down to Big River rd and head back to Cumberland Junction . 

ETA around 4-5pm . 

After all the ice and snow mud has melted , travel is at a lot slower pace overall as it's mainly a rocky base. 

Mt Terrible track is pretty bumpy and slow going in sections. You just need to take it easy and slow in places.

Grip is good , air down to 25 psi is perfect for some comfort ( for my car anyway )

No diff locks needed.

It's all about fun and enjoyment and looking after your car . 

Will be a great fun , scenic trip for all to Enjoy.
