From 4WD Victoria.
DINGO HILL track will re-open this week at the end of the Seasonal Closures period. The
track closed in early January 1998 during the Caledonia Valley fires. Thanks should go to everyone who assisted over the years.
The
Dingo Hill Track was one on the tracks targeted in the Caledonia petition and the Docklands Rally on the 24th March 2001.

Sadly Bruce all the tracks are normally made with a D9 or a grader, It seems to be a bit to much effort to build a track with a shovel these days.
It is the same with a lot of the tracks since the fires they have been upgraded to allow safer fire access and so making the track somewhat easier for a 4wd.
I guess with time some of these will degrade to a standard that may be more enjoyable for a 4wd enthusiast, But remember they are not made for us but for fire access and management use, we just happen to reap a benefit of access to most of them being available to us.

Dingo Hill, Caledonean & butcher Country the weekend after next nad will let all Formites know the state of the tracks when back in town.
Many Vic 4WD clubs have trips planned for Cup weekend in the area.

Thats Interesting John as some of the newer maps don't have
Dingo Hill or the Caledonia River tracks on them. I thought this meant that they were never going to be opened again. I haven't been in there for 10+ years but it is a great place.

I won't be, I will be up in the best part of the world, The Alpine National
Park / Avon Wilderness.
Will think of all the masses stacked up at
Robe to get over every
sand dune whilst I am sitting by the
camp fire with a cold one.
