Hi all. I am wanting to take the wife and kids into the Wonnangatta Valley this Saturday for 4 days camping and was after some advice on track conditions in the area. I'm from gippsland so was wanting to head off early, have lunch at Howitt hut and then drop into the valley down Zeka Spur. I have never been down Zeka Spur and have read some mixed advise on how hard this track is to descend/ascend. Some say it's very steep with massive rutted areas and will need plenty of clearance while others say you could near do it in two wheel drive these days. Of course it obviously depends on how much traffic has been through there as to what condition it is in. We are expecting a bit of rain leading up to Saturday and have read this track can be quite slippery (Clay sections) also. I have a fair amount of experience in the high country and have spent a fair amount of time camping in the Caledonia river, licola - Maroka, Dargo - Eaglevale areas but for one reason or another have never been to the Wonnangatta. I have a pov pack 105 series Landcruiser with a good 2 inch lift, good A/T tiers, no diff locks but have a winch and won't be towing a trailer. Just after some thoughts from anyone who has been up there over Xmas holidays as to how you would rate the toughness of this track as I don't want to scare the family too much and will be traveling alone.
Cheers in advance
Aaron
