Seasonal closures are not far away, so time to head back to Tallarook before the majority of the good tracks close. Most of the tracks in this compact area are of medium standard, (if dry), but a couple that will be included in the loop are Phone and Steep Tks, for those who do want a challenge. Whilst these tracks can be bypassed for those who do not wish to drive them, vehicle requirements for this trip are based on all particpants attempting either one or the other, or both.
32" tyres minimum being either aggressive A/T's or muddies. (Muddies preferred if wet).
Plan is to drive as many tracks as possible during the day and 'airing up' to head home by 4.30pm at the latest. All participants should bring food/drinks and lunchbreak will be 'somewhere'. There is a pit toilet at Freemans which we may pass sometime during the day.
PLEASE NOTE: As with all my trips, if you have not 'checked in' at least 24 HOURS prior to trip date, you will be REMOVED. Harsh, but been stuffed around by inconsiderate 4wders before who have failed to check in and did not turn up being discourteous to both the trip leader and the other participants.
This should be a fun day and is 'family orientated' so feel free to bring partners/ kids etc. It will be a big day of driving as would like to cover most of the good tracks in the Tallarook State Forest. A full tank of fuel will easily be enough for the day as I anticipate only about 100 klms of low range 4wding at the most. Fuel available in Yarra Glen or for those coming from the west, Broadford or somewhere on the Hume.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
