Range Rover Club - Victoria

Easter Long Weekend. Starting out from Buchan, we will be exploring the Snowy River National Park with an itinerary that will include Jackson’s Crossing, the iconic Deddick Trail and McKillops Bridge. There will be spectacular scenery, some challenging driving with long steep climbs and descents, and the Snowy River.

After a very successful “unveiling” at Wandin, work proper on Range Rover Restoration kicks off this weekend. This first session will involve a good wash and cleanup so we can properly see the extent of work needed. If you have some time available on Saturday 27th, come and be part of what promises to be a fun and useful project.

No, not a quiet Sunday in front of the telly after too much fun the night before!  Instead, a practical day in the forest for Trip Leaders and future Trip Leaders to review and practice safe vehicle recovery techniques under the watchful eye of some experienced Trip Leaders and Trainers.

Four Wheel Drive Victoria is assisting, on our behalf, with rebuilding the King River Hut near Mansfield.  The first part of the project is procuring the materials needed, and FWDV is seeking some help with this.  Maybe you or your business can assist?  

The Materials List (attached at the bottom) includes new and second-hand building materials.  If you can assist with providing any of these materials, on any basis ranging from donation to commercial, please

Enjoy three more days of exploration in and around the High Country after Dargo, including the possibility of relocating to Wonnangatta Station (or similar locality) as a new base camp. 

Aiming for the trip to be an ‘off-road camper-trailer friendly’ extension to the Dargo weekend, but the destination will of course depend on the weather be it wet, hot, total fire ban or anything else the Victorian High Country can throw at us!
