Warburton day trip MEDIUM

Warburton area, VIC

See more trips

meet up point is Warburton bowls club car park on the Warburton hwy. 

plan is to enter the Yarra State Forest at Big Pats Creek, where we will air down.

We will head along some tracks, notably Burns track, Portas track, cemetery track, and make our way down toward Powelltown. 

Then head north toward our lunch spot at Ada tree via Woods Track, Big creek basin track and Fitzpatrick fire line.

From there, seeing how we are all travelling with what we have completed we can assess where we wish to go.

as I said in the comments, input from yourselves is extremely welcome.

Trip Leader Tom (roll_tide)
Hi all,

Thanks for confirming for the trip. Hopefully it's a nice day.
I'll have a rough idea of what tracks I'd like to do this afternoon after chatting with a colleague today. However your input on the day would be extremely welcome.
its not a day where we will be flogging our rigs up double blacks, winching constantly, just so you're all aware. I like to cruise, especially on Sundays!
Bring some food and drink for lunch/snacks throughout the day. I'll plan to stop at a nice scenic place for a chat/feed at lunchtime and finish up about 3.30/4pm.
Will post more this evening.

Hope the trip goes well Tom. A bit of rain is forecast for Friday arvo/evening so hopefully it will settle the dust. Not too much rain though as Warburton can be coming 'interesting' to say the least after even a little bit of rain.

Cheers Allan,
Yeah I'll be keeping a close eye on the rain if it occurs on Friday. Fingers crossed it's just enough to give us some respite from the dust.
