      <title>Easy trip around Marysville (20 Sep 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#373737" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Easy trip around Marysville&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#373737"&gt;Date and time:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;font color="#373737" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#373737" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;9am - about 4pm Sunday 20th September&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;div style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;
  &lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#373737"&gt;Trip Standard:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font color="#373737"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Easy - no formal training required, but some off-road experience would be good. However, &lt;strong&gt;your vehicle does need to be set up for 4WD tracks&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;Mainly gravel forestry roads but some track will require low range.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#373737" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IMPORTANT&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;your vehicle requires,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#373737" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;4WD with low range gearing&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#373737" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;High clearance&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;;"&gt;All Terrain or Mud Terrain tyres only.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;strong style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Normal road tyres are not suitable for this trip&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;;"&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#373737" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;UHF radio (or obne borrowed from the club&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;p style="line-height: 16px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Aimed at new members, but experienced members welcome.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#373737"&gt;Description:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;font color="#373737"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#373737"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;This trip meets in the main street at Marysville in the carpark next to the Information Centre at 9am where the trip itinerary and convoy procedures are explained, before airing our tyres down slightly.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Reducing the air pressure in our tyres is optional, but it can make the tracks more comfortable. While not essential for this trip, airing down is a core and necessary activity on the majority of trips.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Then it’s off to the Keppel falls, Taggerty Cascades, Steavenson Falls and &lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Keppel Lookout&lt;/font&gt;. Lunch follows either in Marysville or at the Black Spur Inn, where the club is running the training day.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;At some stage, we will wind our way back on the easy tracks to/around Narbethong/Black Spur Inn on the main road. Tracks out of M/ville (all high range) would be Paradise Plains Rd, Feiglin Rd and Acheron Way, with possibly a few diversions depending on time.&amp;nbsp;After lunch we will be exploring some local Narbethong 4WD tracks. 
&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Ending the trip at the Black Spur Inn&lt;/font&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Personal Details Form&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;It is a Club and Four Wheel Drive Victoria policy for participants to fill in a Personal Details Form and leave it with the trip leader. This is essentially, a medical form that can be passed to Emergency Services in cane of an incident.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Please print, complete, and hand the form to the Trip Leader, who will return it at the end of the day, or destroy it. We tend to seal it in an envelope and reuse it on multiple trips.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

There will be physical activity involved so a degree of physical fitness is required.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Description&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;This event is a working bee to work assist LnLz Wildlife Care &amp;amp; Rescue in Strath Creek who are improving their outdoor wombat pens. LnLz, aka Leonie and Lionel are dedicated carers raising orphaned wombats from palm size 'pinkies' to you adulthood, ready for release back into the wild. They care for younger wombats in and around their house, after which they graduate to outside pens as they mature toward readiness for release. Caring for young wombats is a relentless task requiring skill and nuturing, but with the reward of seeing these beautiful creatures grow.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
As wombats are strong burrowing creatures they are rather hard on their outdoor pens. Helpers are needed for reinforcing some fences, installing some shade cloths and general weeding and maintenance. There will also be lighter duties, general tidying and so on for those not up to heavy stuff. It will also be a great opportunity to learn about the work wildlife carers do and the lovely creatures they care for.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Weather&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;C&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;ome prepared for all conditions as we'll be working outside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Great opportunity for new members to work out what they need and set up their vehicle.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;An excellent refresher for existing members to see new kit and upgrade with a discount.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Far North East Victoria &amp; the Geehi Huts (31 Oct 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center" style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 35px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial,sans-serif" style="font-family: Open Sans;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 30px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;font color="#373737" face="Arial,sans-serif"&gt;Far North East Victoria &amp;amp; the Geehi Huts&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;
  &lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#373737" face="Arial,sans-serif"&gt;D&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#373737" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;ate and time:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font color="#373737"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#373737"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;3:00pm, Saturday&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;October 31 to Wednesday November 4&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#373737" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Trip&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color="#373737" face="Arial,sans-serif"&gt;Standard&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#373737" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font color="#373737"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Medium in dry conditions. Wet weather will make this trip more difficult and likely necessitate a route change. There will be a mix of bitumen roads, good gravel and low-range 4WDing on some reasonably steep tracks. There will also be a number of water crossings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#373737" face="Arial,sans-serif"&gt;Description:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;font color="#373737" face="Arial,sans-serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#373737" face="Arial,sans-serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#373737" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Please contact your trip leader if you are unsure of any of the following requirements for this trip.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;A touring trip into the far north east high country of Victoria, then across the Murray River to the Geehi region of the Kosciuszko National Park.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;There will be a mix of bitumen, gravel roads and low range 4WDing. We will camp for one night at Native Dog Flat and three nights at Old Geehi Hut. All the campgrounds will have limited facilities, likely only long-drop toilets. We will need to carry firewood and while almost every campground will be near a river, best to be self sufficient with water.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Omeo, at the start of the trip, and Khancoban at the end of the trip will be our refuelling stops.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Proposed Schedule:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;October 31:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;3.00pm - depart Omeo (with full tank of fuel &amp;amp; other provisions).&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font&gt;4.30&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font&gt;pm - Arrive at&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font&gt;Native Dog Flat and set up camp&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;Nov 1 -&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Travel from Native Dog Flat to Old Geehi Hut. The route will depend on track conditions and whether camper trailers are on the trip.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;Nov 2 -&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Touring around the Geehi region looking at the local huts and scenery.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;Nov 3 -&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Touring around the Geehi region looking at the local huts and scenery, or possibly a 4WD trip back into Victoria for the day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;Nov 4 -&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Travel from Old Geehi Hut, through Khancoban and Corryong home to Melbourne. This is all bitumen roads.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#373737"&gt;Weather:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;font color="#373737"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span&gt;Be prepared for cold, alpine weather. If warm, we will be camping near rivers most nights so also bring along swimming gear as well. Please check the forecast before departure and come prepared with suitable clothing and footwear. &amp;nbsp;Bring water, sunscreen and a hat.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;This is a largely dry weather trip and if it rains the route will need to be modified.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#373737"&gt;Equipment:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;font color="#373737"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span&gt;Below are the recommended vehicle requirements. &amp;nbsp;If you are not sure if your vehicle is suitable for a trip, please have a chat with the trip leader.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;A &lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;well-maintained 4WD vehicle with All Terrain tyres, UHF radio (or one borrowed from the club). Bring your standard recovery gear including rated snatch strap, shackles, recovery boards and a shovel. &amp;nbsp;These are medium treks, but after rain roads can be wet, slippery and with some puddles.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Drivers must have completed the RRCV club training or equivalent.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Camper trailers are welcome. Please let the trip leader know when signing-up as it will affect the route chosen. No caravans or pets.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Accommodation:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Every night of the trip will be camping in National Park campgrounds. In NSW that will involve park and camping fees. Campgrounds will be reasonably primitive with long-drop toilets the only services. We will need to carry firewood.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Campfires:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Please bring a bag of wood per vehicle. There’s three nights’ camping at Old Geehi where we need to be self sufficient with firewood. All the campsites we are going to are reasonably popular and generally denuded of decent firewood. Chainsaws and firewood collection are banned in NSW National Parks.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Meals:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;You will need to be self-sufficient for all meals.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#373737"&gt;Maps and Reference Material:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#373737"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#444444" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Any maps you will be using.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#373737" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#373737"&gt;dditional Equipment required:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;font color="#373737"&gt;Camping gear, food and water for the weekend.&amp;nbsp; Clothing for wet and cold conditions.&amp;nbsp; Morning tea will be in the bush each day – byo thermos, etc.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#373737" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#373737"&gt;Fuel:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;font color="#373737"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Please have a full tank of fuel from the meeting point at Omeo. I do not expect anyone would need any jerry cans. The refuelling point will be at Khancoban on the way home.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#373737"&gt;Distance:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;font color="#373737"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Omeo is approximately 380 km from Melbourne. &amp;nbsp;The trip distance is approximately ???km of high and low range driving&lt;/font&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#373737" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#373737"&gt;Duration:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;font color="#373737"&gt;5 days&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#373737" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#373737"&gt;Convoy limit:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;8&lt;font color="#373737"&gt;&amp;nbsp;vehicles&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#373737" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Club Guest Registration policy&lt;/strong&gt;:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;It is club policy in regard to insurance cover that if a member brings any non-members on the trip they must be registered and have paid the required fee as Temporary Members BEFORE the event.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;i.e.&amp;nbsp; non-members can no longer register on the day with the trip leader.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Temporary Membership information and ways to register can be found at:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="https://mel4wdclub.org.au/temporary-membership" style="font-size: 1.2em; font-family: Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Temporary (Guest) Membership&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Also if a non-member wishes to bring their own vehicle, the member inviting the non-member must contact the trip leader for approval to bring the vehicle. Such approval will take into account skills of the driver, suitability of the vehicle and whether or not a place within the convoy limit is available for a non-member's vehicle.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#373737" face="Arial,sans-serif"&gt;Trip Leader:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=""&gt;Gavan Swift.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=""&gt;Mobile 0412 199 544&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;font&gt;Email &lt;a href="mailto:gavan@swift.net.au" style=""&gt;gavan@swift.net.au&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#373737" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Description:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font color="#373737" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#333333" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Lerderderg State Forest is one of the best destinations near Melbourne for a day off-road trip.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#333333" face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;We will tackle a mix of&amp;nbsp;easy and medium tracks, perfect for those keen to test their skills and vehicles without going extreme.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#333333" face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;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.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#333333" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;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.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Please check the forecast before departure and come prepared with suitable clothing and footwear. Bring water, sunscreen and a hat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#333333" face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;This is strictly a dry-weather trip.

Barring two tracks of only trivial interest, and apart from some small changes in track sequence, together with the addition of the previously closed Muddy Creek Tk, this itinerary is &lt;em&gt;Trek 15, Beyond Warburton&lt;/em&gt;, added in the current 5&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; edition of &lt;em&gt;4WD Treks Close to Melbourne&lt;/em&gt;.&amp;nbsp; All participants will be given turn by turn directions for this modified route at the Reefton Hotel 9.00 am trip briefing and air down.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p align="center" style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 35px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial,sans-serif" style="font-family: Open Sans;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 30px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;font color="#373737" face="Arial,sans-serif"&gt;Tallarook Plateau&amp;nbsp;Wanderings II&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Date and time:&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;nbsp;9:00am to 4:00pm, Saturday 30th January&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Trip Standard:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Medium - &lt;strong&gt;Training must have been completed.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Please Note: 50% of this convoy will be for recent trainees. New members should put themselves on the waitlist and they will be allocated a spot by the trainers.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Description&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;:&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Tallarook State Forest, situated only an hour and 15 minutes’ drive of Melbourne, provides excellent opportunities for recreational four-wheel driving.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;This trip combines two treks from the 5th Edition of '4WD Treks Close to Melbourne':&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Trek 3 – Tallarook Plateau and Trek 13 – Tallarook Wanderings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;We will tackle a mix of&amp;nbsp;easy and medium-rated tracks that provide some challenge&amp;nbsp;without going extreme.&amp;nbsp;Whether you're looking to build confidence behind the wheel,&amp;nbsp;learn from experienced members, or simply enjoy a day out in the bush, this trip has&amp;nbsp;something for everyone (new and old members).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Expect rugged terrain, winding bush tracks, forest roads and plenty of opportunities&amp;nbsp;to enjoy the natural beauty of this area. There are alternative easier routes available, and the itinerary can be adjusted if any planned sections appear too challenging for&amp;nbsp;the convoy.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;We will visit Mount Hickey, the highest point in the forest at 805 m above the sea&amp;nbsp;level. There are various granite outcrops around the forest, great as short scenic&amp;nbsp;stops or lunch spots.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Please contact your&amp;nbsp;trip leader if you are unsure of any of the below requirements for&amp;nbsp;this trip.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Weather:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Summer 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.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;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. The same in case of a heat wave if temperature exceeds 30C.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Equipment:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Below are the recommended vehicle requirements.&amp;nbsp;If you are not sure if your vehicle is suitable for this trip, please have a chat with the trip leader.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;This is a&amp;nbsp;medium-difficulty trek. While generally manageable,&amp;nbsp;wet weather can significantly increase the challenge, making roads&amp;nbsp;slippery, with&amp;nbsp;muddy sections&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;standing water&amp;nbsp;in places.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Drivers must have completed the RRCV club training or equivalent.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Meals:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Coffee stops will be held in the bush, so please bring your own simple morning and afternoon tea.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Maps and Reference Material:&lt;/strong&gt; Rooftop’s Toolangi-Macedon Adventure Map and Tallarook Forest Activities Map&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Distance:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Melbourne – Broadford (90 km), &lt;strong&gt;Broadford – Murchison Gap Lookout (75&amp;nbsp;km of high and low range driving)&lt;/strong&gt;, Murchison Gap Lookout – Melbourne (99&amp;nbsp;km) – Total: 265 km&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Duration&lt;/strong&gt;: 1 day&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Mount Disappointment Night Trip (20 Feb 2027)</title>
      <description>&lt;div style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="line-height: 35px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;strong style=""&gt;&lt;strong style=""&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;font color="#373737" face="Arial, sans-serif" style=""&gt;Mount Disappointment&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;strong style=""&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;font color="#373737" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Night Trip&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#373737" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Date and time:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;font color="#373737" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Saturday, 20&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; February 2027&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; color: rgb(55, 55, 55); font-weight: 400;"&gt;Approximately 7:30 pm – 07:30 am (TBC)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#373737" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Trip Standard:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font color="#373737" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Medium in dry conditions &lt;strong&gt;- Training is required&lt;/strong&gt; – the trek follows formed dirt roads, but a significant portion are 4WD tracks (low range driving will be required).&lt;/font&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;font color="#444444" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Driving after dark will also add to the overall challenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;font color="#444444" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;NOTE: As training is required, new members will need to register on the waitlist and be allocated a place by the trainers.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#373737" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Description:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font color="#373737" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#333333" face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;This trip will follow the itinerary of trek 14&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; 'Mount Disappointment', from the 5&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; Edition of '4WD Treks Close to Melbourne'.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#333333" face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;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.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#333333" face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;On Saturday, 20&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; 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).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#333333" face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;We will make planned stops at Anderson Garden, Blairs Hut and No. 1 Camp along the way.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#333333" face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;There are other easier roads to the destination, and we can alter the route if the planned trek appears to be too hard.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#333333" face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;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).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#333333" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;We will finish our trip in Strath Creek.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;font color="#373737" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Please contact your trip leader if you are unsure of any of the below requirements for this trip.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#373737" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Weather:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font color="#373737" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color="#333333" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;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.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#333333" face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;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.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#373737" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Equipment&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;font color="#373737" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;:&amp;nbsp; Below are the recommended vehicle requirements.&amp;nbsp;If you are not sure if your vehicle is suitable for this trip, please have a chat with the trip leader.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;font color="#444444" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;A well-maintained 4WD vehicle fitted with All-Terrain tyres.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;font color="#444444" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;A UHF radio is required (you may bring your own or borrow one from the club).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;font color="#444444" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Bring your standard recovery gear kit, including rated snatch strap, shackles, recovery boards and a shovel.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;font color="#444444" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;A reliable torch or headlamp&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;font color="#444444" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;font color="#444444" face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;This is a&amp;nbsp;medium-difficulty trek. While generally manageable,&amp;nbsp;wet weather can significantly increase the challenge, making roads slippery, with&amp;nbsp;muddy sections&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;standing water&amp;nbsp;in places.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;font color="#444444" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Drivers must have completed the RRCV club training or equivalent.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;font color="#444444" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Meals:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;font color="#444444" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Coffee stops will be held in the bush, so please bring your own simple meals, snacks, water and thermos with coffee.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;font color="#373737" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Maps and Reference Material:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;font color="#333333" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Rooftop’s Toolangi-Macedon Adventure Map&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#373737" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Fuel:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font color="#373737" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;a full tank ex Melbourne&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#373737" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Duration:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;font color="#373737" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;1 night&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
