Far North East Victoria & the Geehi Huts (31 Oct 2026)

Fri, 30 Oct 2026 22:00:00 GMT

Far North East Victoria & the Geehi Huts

Date and time: 3:00pm, Saturday October 31 to Wednesday November 4

Trip Standard: 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.

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

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.

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.

Omeo, at the start of the trip, and Khancoban at the end of the trip will be our refuelling stops.

Proposed Schedule:

October 31: 3.00pm - depart Omeo (with full tank of fuel & other provisions). 4.30pm - Arrive at Native Dog Flat and set up camp

Nov 1 -Travel from Native Dog Flat to Old Geehi Hut. The route will depend on track conditions and whether camper trailers are on the trip.

Nov 2 - Touring around the Geehi region looking at the local huts and scenery.

Nov 3 -Touring around the Geehi region looking at the local huts and scenery, or possibly a 4WD trip back into Victoria for the day.

Nov 4 - Travel from Old Geehi Hut, through Khancoban and Corryong home to Melbourne. This is all bitumen roads.

Weather: 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. Bring water, sunscreen and a hat.

This is a largely dry weather trip and if it rains the route will need to be modified.

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

A 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. These are medium treks, but after rain roads can be wet, slippery and with some puddles.

Drivers must have completed the RRCV club training or equivalent.

Camper trailers are welcome. Please let the trip leader know when signing-up as it will affect the route chosen. No caravans or pets.

Accommodation: 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.

Campfires: 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.

Meals: You will need to be self-sufficient for all meals.

Maps and Reference Material: Any maps you will be using.

Additional Equipment required: Camping gear, food and water for the weekend. Clothing for wet and cold conditions. Morning tea will be in the bush each day – byo thermos, etc.

Fuel: 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.

Distance: Omeo is approximately 380 km from Melbourne. The trip distance is approximately ???km of high and low range driving.

Duration: 5 days

Convoy limit: 8 vehicles

Meeting arrangements: We will meet in the public car park near the Golden Age Hotel in Omeo at 3pm on October 31 and aim to finish the trip around 2pm in Corryong on November 5.

Club Guest Registration policy: 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. i.e. non-members can no longer register on the day with the trip leader.

The same trip allocation procedure will be followed at lunch for the afternoon trip(s). The number of trips will depend on the number of participants and availability of trip leaders. The planned routes will be subject to weather and fire danger restrictions.

For those that would like to stay either Saturday or Sunday night, camping is allowed on and around the reserve and the toilets will be open.

This should be a relaxed day and a nice social way to start the club year.

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

Fuel: a full tank ex Melbourne

Distance: Melbourne – Wallan (53 km), Wallan – Strath Creek (69 km of high and low range driving), Strath Creek – Melbourne (89 km) – Total: 211 km

Duration: 1 night

Convoy limit: 8 vehicles. 4 for experienced members and 4 for new, recently trained, members

No camper trailers, pets or firearms.

Meeting arrangements: We will depart before 8:30 pm (TBC) from Hadfield Park in Wallan (42 Bentinck St, Wallan VIC 3756).

We will aim to finish about 7:30 am in Strath Creek for a morning coffee.
