Advice on Canberra, Cooma Region 4WD trek for 3 days ?

Hi Beddo,
You could try the Boboyan road thru Tharwa to Adaminaby. Nice camping spot at Mt Clear then thru to Tumut and home along the highway. Good camping at Yarrangobilly Village.... thermal pool at Yarangobilly Caves.

Few ideas!!,

You could go from Canberra through the Brindabella's (Mt Coree, Flea creek, McIntyres Hut) Flea creek is a nice area where you can camp and suitable to a 5 year old to take a dip!! You could do all this in a day!!!

You can then go through to Tumut along the Brindabelle Rd.

If you'd like more details roads etc, let me know!!!! Can email photos of these areas if you'd like!!!All my friends have Nissans

Sure wish someone would send us some Trek Notes for local trips near Canberra so Jeff could have found his answer there!! hint hint :-)Regards Michelle,

As a follow on from the Brindies, you can then go thru the State Forest towards Tumut, and onto the Broken Cart Trail which goes into the Nth end of Kosi nat park.

Bluewater Holes is a TOP camping spot .

This track at the junction of the Broken Cart Trail, and the track to Bluwaterholes then goes past Tantangara Dam and mets up with the Snowy Mountain Highway, only a couple of K's from Yarrongabilly Caves.

Boiling Billy Books has this trek covered.

I agree with the previous posts about the Brindi's, although the track down to McIntyre's Hut can be tricky after any rain. We went down there with 3 vehicles & had to winch ourselves out of there about 2 years ago with a bit of snow around. Miy Patrol and my mate's too, both had a winch, but our other mate in a 2.7 Prado didn't. The trucks with winches got ourselves to the top and turned around to face back down; I tethered off at the rear to a tree and secured my winch hook to the back of the other Patrol, which then gradually went back half way down the hill. He then extended his winch cable out to the point where the Prado had come to a slippy halt and winched the Prado up; chocked the wheels. I then used my winch to retrieve the other Patrol, which then proceeded to to haul the Prado to the top in due course. It was a good exercise in lateral thinking.
I lived in Cooma for 3 years and just to throw the whole idea wide open, you could also think about heading out along the back road to Braidwood (ie: from Cooma) and take a look at the water falls (i can't remember their name but fairly sure it starts with "T") and wading area along the way to the Deua NP. The track into there can be a bit hairy after rain and there's one tight hairpin turn that requires a 3 point turn if you're in a Patrol (or Cruiser etc) and if you've got a trailer on as we usually did, be prepared to take it steady. If you go down to the Deua, you'd probably be better off heading out to the coast (Moruya or Batemans Bay) when you're finished.
Good luck and happy travels.

Thanks all for the replies - I've got a lot of exploring down that way to do. Also I will follow up on trails in my area and post to the site.
Cheers, Beddo
