You may need to give us a little more information, Mark.

Are you towing a camper trailer or do you want to camp? Do you want to stay at different places each night night? What type of vehicle are you driving and how adventurous are you feeling? Travelling with little kids or mates?

As an ex-Queenslander I can say that Melbourne is central to an amazing number of interesting treks. From desert, to high country (the tracks are starting to close for the winter), to some of the more remote national parks in the north of the State - all close to Melbourne.

So let us know what you're looking for - I'm sure lots of people on this site will help.

Well not specifically. A few individual tracks have had flood or storm damage from last year but the vast majority are open till Queens Birthday weekend.

We agree with you Nick, any day you are driving out of the city is a good day mate. I reckon you get the best view of Sydney in your rear vision mirror!!!!
As you are leaving Hahaha!
Cheers, Bruce.
At home and at ease on a track that I know not and
restless and lost on a track that I know. HL.

If you want a bit of a challenge slip up to the Big river area camping near Stockmans reward. Work your way up to Mt Terrible then along the ridge to Woods Point camping on the Goulburn river. Few nice tracks in the aea will lead you over Matlock & back to the city via Warburton. Take your mud tyres Mark & a chainsaw.

Craig I always go on a yearly camping trip in big river and stay at the big river campsite now known as big bend camp ground and normally do the drive up to mt terrible (cracker views) but I always come from eildon never the other way. Is that out near walyalla? What are the roads like?

Gday Mark
Do you mean Walhalla? Head out that way and go to Bruntons bridge. Nice places to stay and camp. Plenty of river crossings and picturesque scenery .
