Woonangatta

All depends on the weather...

Your best bet is to call the local rangers in the area, but I dont see why not, mate got a surf in there with a $20k box trailer behind it.

The road into Wonangatta Station is close to highway standard from most directions. I was there recently doing some research on the Wonangatta Station ruins and a Diahatsu Sirion and Suzuki Swift turned up and camped for two days.

Kevin,
We went last January and my brother towed a camper trailer in no problems - however it was dry. We came in Wombat Range track and went out via Zeka track. We had no problems at all, but like I said, it was dry. I reckon Zeka track would be the better one in the wet, more rocks and less clay as Wombat had been recently graded. Cheers Phil

The easiest way in is via Buffalo Creek (Via Myrtleford), Zeka Creek is quite steep for a short section. Another option is to come in via Dargo and Grant, its nearly as easy as Buffalo Creek.
The camp area at Talbotville (below Grant) is very good, can base there and do day trips to the Gatta.

I drive a 1991 Hilux 2.8dsl and towed a camper trailer weighing approx 800 kgs through high country from Mansfield down Zeka to Woonangatta, up Wombat to Talbotville then to Dargo. A 1994 Pajero towing a similar trailer also did the trip. We did not have any problems at all. There was no rain when we were there but the tracks were very dusty and soft in some areas. We came across an 80 series cruiser towing a 1500kg trailer in the opposite direction who had to use his winch in a very soft part of Zeka.

Thanks Guys I think I will give it a shot!

Kevin,

I camped at both Wonnangatta Stn and Talbotville in mid-April. The tracks in the region are in superb condition at the moment.

Cheers

Read in this months 4X4 Australia that some of the tracks around Wonnangatta are still closed due to fires. Zeka track was affected. Best to check Parks Victoria website before you go to get latest updates on track closures up that way.Just Do It!
