Re: High Country Lite, easy camping

Hi Alex and jaquiB , welcome to join us , takes the number to 15 cars , looks like a very social trip.
Plan was to be finished mid afternoon on Sunday.
As stated trip is appropriate for standard cars, Grand Vitara on all terrains will be fine.

Re: High Country Lite, easy camping

The campsites are all free public camping areas , some are alpine NP others are state Forest , we have intentionally avoided public holidays and school holidays in the hope of minimal traffic.

Re: Expression of intrerest for High Country Lite

Great to see some enthusiasm for the trip , looks like full steam ahead ! Agree that we will plan a future trip exiting via Licola on the Caledonia river road as a longer trip next year. I think we will spend plenty of our time soaking up the views from mount Lovick and in camp messing about in the ...

Re: Expression of intrerest for High Country Lite

Thanks Mike , yep 1/4/24
Was a typo
At the moment I am limited to a weekend however I agree there a numerous good 3 day options in this area linking in the butcher country track.or Caledonia river track exiting via Stratford. Makes it an easy medium with perhaps more trip prep , Food for thought

Re: Vic 4wd Show - Feb 19th *CANCELLED*

Sorry to hear that we have had to bail, probably down to nature of organising this on an old-school forum , nobody looks.
I am available to do any task if we decide to un-cancel
Thanks

Re: thompson river group float 14 Jan

Hey Steve , if you want to canoe a paddle is always recommended..... If you want to use inner tubes I think feet should be sufficient if padded with crocs

Re: thompson river group float 14 Jan

Probably Cooper's creek is the better campground as they have done significant improvement since we stopped there last as a group , likely to be busy so earlier on Friday will be best. Great spot for a bbq and a swim on the Friday afternoon. In addition to inflatable floatation recommend that everyb...
