Trip Standard: Medium in dry conditions - Training required, also see Equipment requirements.

This is a medium-difficulty trek. A combination of easy and medium tracks (low range driving might be required). While generally manageable, wet weather can significantly increase the challenge, making roads slippery, with muddy sections and standing water in places.

Description: Lerderderg State Forest is one of the best destinations near Melbourne for a day off-road trip.

We will tackle a mix of easy and medium tracks, perfect for those keen to test their skills and vehicles without going extreme.

It’s an exploratory trip! No recon, no guarantees, just a rough plan and a good dose of curiosity. Expect rugged terrain, winding bush tracks, creek crossings, and forest roads that twist through towering gums. There are other easier roads to the destination, and we can alter the route if the planned trek appears to be too hard.

We will finish in Trentham – in 2025 named Victoria's Top Tiny Tourism Town so you may decide to enjoy one of its restaurants for a meal.

Weather: Spring around Melbourne is typically sunny and warm, but conditions can vary. Please check the forecast before departure and come prepared with suitable clothing and footwear. Bring water, sunscreen and a hat.

Mount Disappointment Night Trip (20 Feb 2027)

Sat, 20 Feb 2027 08:30:00 GMT

Mount Disappointment Night Trip

Date and time: Saturday, 20^th February 2027
Approximately 7:30 pm – 07:30 am (TBC)

Trip Standard: Medium in dry conditions - Training is required – the trek follows formed dirt roads, but a significant portion are 4WD tracks (low range driving will be required). Driving after dark will also add to the overall challenge.

NOTE: As training is required, new members will need to register on the waitlist and be allocated a place by the trainers.

Description:

This trip will follow the itinerary of trek 14^th 'Mount Disappointment', from the 5^th Edition of '4WD Treks Close to Melbourne'.

The Mount Disappointment forest offers tracks covering various terrain. We will be tackling a combination of easy and medium tracks, but the real excitement will come from driving them at night.

On Saturday, 20^th February, the moon will be approaching its full phase (100% on Sunday at 10:23 am). If the sky is clear, we will be travelling under beautiful natural moonlight (moonrise at 7:44 pm | moonset at 6:50 am).

We will make planned stops at Anderson Garden, Blairs Hut and No. 1 Camp along the way.

There are other easier roads to the destination, and we can alter the route if the planned trek appears to be too hard.

At the end of Murchison Spur Road is the Murchison Gap Lookout, which provides stunning views over the rolling hills. Facing east, it is an ideal spot for capturing beautiful sunrise photographs, especially when the valley is filled with low-lying clouds (sunrise at 6:55 am).

We will finish our trip in Strath Creek.

Please contact your trip leader if you are unsure of any of the below requirements for this trip.

Weather: Summer in the Mount Disappointment area is typically warm during the day, with cooler temperatures overnight. Please check the forecast before departure and come prepared with suitable clothing and footwear.

This is strictly a dry-weather trip. If rain is forecast, I reserve the right to cancel or postpone the trip with one week's notice.

Equipment: Below are the recommended vehicle requirements. If you are not sure if your vehicle is suitable for this trip, please have a chat with the trip leader.

A well-maintained 4WD vehicle fitted with All-Terrain tyres.
A UHF radio is required (you may bring your own or borrow one from the club).
Bring your standard recovery gear kit, including rated snatch strap, shackles, recovery boards and a shovel.
A reliable torch or headlamp.

This is a medium-difficulty trek. While generally manageable, wet weather can significantly increase the challenge, making roads slippery, with muddy sections and standing water in places.

Drivers must have completed the RRCV club training or equivalent.

Meals: Coffee stops will be held in the bush, so please bring your own simple meals, snacks, water and thermos with coffee.

Maps and Reference Material: Rooftop’s Toolangi-Macedon Adventure Map

Dargo basecamp (6 Mar 2027)

Fri, 05 Mar 2027 22:00:00 GMT

Dargo Base Camp

Date and time: 9:00am, Saturday 6th March to 1:00pm Monday 8th March

Trip Standard: Medium to Hard – some steep, low-range hill climbs and some rocky tracks! You should have completed driver training to participate in the trips at Dargo, although you are most welcome to camp, explore and enjoy the surrounding area and join in the group activities.

Description: For many years RRCV and now the M4WDC has held a base camp at Dargo on the Labour Day weekend in March and in this 50th anniversary year of the club we would like to make the Dargo weekend bigger and better than ever.

Again, in 2027 we will stay at the Dargo River Inn campground. The Labour Day weekend is always popular, so if you are thinking about going to Dargo and want to book a cabin, a powered site, my advice is that you do this ASAP.

For those new to this event, the Dargo area has a lot of history, as well as very spectacular scenery and great 4WD tracks. ALL MEMBERS are welcome.

This is a basecamp for 3 nights: Friday, Saturday & Sunday. Bring your own tent, camper or caravan. We will cater for all 4WDriving skill levels, from novice to experienced drivers, so there will be trips with varying degrees of difficulty. Trips will be decided closer to the weekend when weather and track conditions are known but there will be several different trips occurring each day, returning to base camp each afternoon.

Before the Saturday night dinner, we would like to have people coming to a common area for some 5:30 pre-dinner drinks and nibbles (byo drinks and a small plate to share). We will also make a booking for the Sunday night at the River Inn for a pub meal.

Dargo is approached via Princes Highway through Sale and Stratford. Approx. 23 km past Stratford turn towards Fernbank, follow signs to Dargo (take care on the Dargo road especially if towing). The Dargo River Inn situated on the Lower Dargo Road and is well signposted. Turn right just past the 80 Kph restriction sign as you enter the Dargo township. Please try to arrive at the caravan park anytime on Friday or before 8:30 am on Saturday. In the park, follow the M4WC signs – the Trip Leaders will be there to meet you.

Caravan Park Bookings: You will need to book your accommodation with the Dargo River Inn directly, book through their web site at www.dargoriverinn.com.au or ph +613 5140 1330. If you want to book a cabin or a powered site, you will need to book fairly early, since this is a popular weekend in Dargo. We have made arrangements for our group to occupy an area with powered sites, so make sure you mention that you are with the Melbourne 4WD club so you are allocated a site with our group. There is a large area for unpowered sites, so if you don’t require power there is less urgency.

The water in the caravan park is untreated river water, so it is advisable to bring your own drinking water. There are flushing toilets and hot showers at the caravan park.

A few club members usually either arrive earlier or stay an extra night, If you wish to come early or stay longer you can arrange this as part of your booking, although there should be no problems with these requests.

Weather: Alpine environment, potentially cold and wet. Bring appropriate clothing and footwear. We have had wet weather in the past, so please review the weather forecast for the Alpine area prior to the event and bring clothing, footwear and camping gear suitable for the conditions.

Equipment: Well-maintained vehicle with low range (or equivalent), good clearance (200mm recommended as a minimum), good off-road tyres (All Terrain, 60 profile recommended as a minimum), recovery points, standard recovery gear including dampener, rated snatch strap and shackles, shovel and UHF radio (or one borrowed from the club).

Hat, torch, good footwear, warm clothes (cold nights), NAME TAGS, kids bikes. (there is a large area in the campground for kids to ride around

Simple, “on the move” lunches and morning teas (byo thermos), food for 3 days, drinking water and port.

Dargo is quite remote and the tracks we will be driving are steep, rocky and can be challenging, so vehicle failures / repairs / recovery can be difficult and expensive. Please do a thorough vehicle check beforehand and if in doubt, have your vehicle serviced and thoroughly checked by a mechanic familiar with 4WDriving.

We have had vehicle breakdowns and breakages in the past and RACV Total Care has been excellent in transporting vehicles for repair or back to Melbourne. It is recommended you take out this cover as insurance prior to the trip

DO NOT bring: Pets, firearms, or motorbikes.

Fuel: Fuel on the way and available at Dargo (no LPG).

Distance: Dargo is approximately 320 km (4 to 5 hours) from Melbourne. Trips each day are from 50Km to 90 Km of mainly low range driving.

Convoy limit: None. This trip will cater for large numbers.

Meeting Arrangements: Base Camp at the Dargo River Inn, Lower Dargo Road, Dargo. Dargo is approximately 4 to 5 hours from Melbourne. There will be a driver briefing at 8:30 am on Saturday morning, ready for a 9:00 am departure. If you plan to arrive on Saturday morning, please allow time to air down and be ready for the 9:00 am departure.
