Will be doing a day trip with the kids to Moroka Hut, starting at Lake Glenmaggie (just north of Hayfield) and then doing a loop to Moroka Hut and back down to Briagolong via Valencia Creek Track.
The loop is approximately 6 hours of driving, and has about 8-10 river crossings, so a snorkel is recommended. This isn't an extremely difficult track but a decent 4x4 setup is required. Ideally 32" All-Terrains and 2" lift, or above. No winch needed but your own recovery gear will be required.
Will be meeting at Glenmaggie Weir Reserve (Picnic Area on Lake Glenmaggie) at 10am. From there it's a 30 minute drive to Huggett's Crossing, probably the biggest river crossing of the trip across Avon River, if you get through this one you will be fine for the rest of them. From here it's a 2 hour drive through the hills to Moroka Hut. Will be aiming to arrive at the hut around 1pm and stop for lunch. The drive back south to Briagolong will take approximately 3 hours, as we will be going down via Valencia Creek Tk to avoid the seasonal closure on Marathon Road. The Valencia Creek Tk has about 8 river crossings and will eventually exit onto Marathon road. Could stop for a pub meal in Briagolong for dinner before heading home to Melbourne.
Weather forcast for Tuesday looks good so far.
