This tour covers the best of what Victoria’s High Country has to offer. The Alpine National Park is Victoria’s largest, protecting the state’s highest peaks and diverse alpine environment. The Wonnangatta Valley area in the southern section of the Alpine National Park is a legendary part of Victoria’s High Country, offering some of the best mountain tracks in the country. It provides a demanding 4WD adventure playground with steep ascents and descents, significant water crossings and plenty of low-range work as we traverse the iconic “must do” tracks of the high country. The tour will also pass through the Dargo High Plains area which hosts one of the high country’s best known 4WD tracks, Blue Rag Range Track. This tour offers a 4WD challenge complemented by spectacular scenery, breathtaking views from cliff-top lookouts, crystal clear mountain streams, diverse wildlife, clear night skies, high country huts, and the ruins and mines of gold mining towns, in a true high country setting.

• Duration: 6 days, 5 nights

• Start: Mansfield, Vic | Finish: Bright, Vic

• Drivers: While several tracks are suitable for all levels of off-road driving experience, others will require at least some off-road experience or 4WD training, and several require a reasonable level of off-road experience or 4WD training. These latter sections are difficult and will provide a challenge for experienced drivers.

• Vehicles: Vehicles require a raised clearance, dual range and all-terrain or mud-terrain tyres. A snorkel and extended breather kit for critical drivetrain components are recommended due to potentially deep water crossings. You will need to carry enough fuel for 375km range (factor in low range and the terrain) as it will be at least 340km between fuel stops.

• Camping: All 4x4 Explore tours are suitable for tents, swags, etc. This tour is not suitable for any form of trailer or caravan due to the nature of the tracks on the route.
