Daphne and I are Christmas orphans so we are hitting the road again. This time we are heading to Victoria High Country via Bendethera Valley.

Here's a rough outline of the itinerary

24/12-26/12 Bendethera Valley (Hiking, 4wd, chill out)
27/12 - Bendethera Valley to Berridale (via Tuross Falls/Cascades)

Longest distance between fuel stops is approximately 250km. This is on steep terrain, often requiring 4WD LOW. Fuel Consumption may be double what you would normally use.
We are planning to bring extra 3 Jerry cans for our JK 2 door.

You can join in at a few different stages of the trip. Just let us know.
If you are interested, we can send you a more detail itinerary.

PS: We are doing a couple of dives with Seals at Narooma and will be staying at Dalmeny Campground Sat 22/12 & Sun 23/12. You are more than welcome to join us.

Note: Trip is only for financial members only.
