This half day trip starts at The Black Spur Inn at Narbethong and explores some local tracks before heading back to Wandin to camp at the site of the Victorian 4WD Show. Spit Roast dinner is available and camping near our show site.
The Victorian 4WD Show attracts a large number of visitors and provides a great opportunity to look and learn about the latest accessories, motor vehicles, campers and modifications available to 4WDrivers. Each year the Show expands with new types of exhibitors. The Land Rover Club of Victoria hosts the show, at the Wandin Equestarian Centre. The RRCV will have a stand at the
Driver Training theory session, commencing 7.30 pm at the Four Wheel Drive Victoria Hall in Greythorn. Note: You do not need to sign up for the practical session next Sunday - this signup will book you for that session as well.
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.
The Driver Training Practical session for this month - when you put last week's theory session into practice, with the support of the club's qualified trainers.

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.

There was a time, long, long ago, when cattlemen would roam around the Mt Buller area around about the end of April and early May to retrieve their cattle before the first winter snows. Alas, the romance of all that has gone, but we can still travel through that country to see some of the more historic areas.
We shall have a look at the new Craig’s Hut (OK, so that is not very historic!), go to Cobbler Lake and the Falls, to Lovick’s Hut, Bluff Hut and Bindaree Hut. Start and finish are at Mansfield.
The Toyota Landcruiser Club has invited us to compete in Cruiserkhana 2010 at their property in Yarck. And yes, the Range Rover Club is up to the challenge!
