Looking through my copy of 4wd Touring - SE NSW & East Gippsland, I found a nice weekend 4wd adventure between Braithwood & Moruya. However its not recommended for camper trailers. If I plan this trip for mid March with our Canberra colleagues, would members be interested in doing it?

We can save travelling time by cutting across to Braithwood from Goulburn. I'll probably do a recce with Stuart and/or Paul from ACTJT to work out which trails to take.

Have done that track before. You could take a camper, but it would need to be quite capable as would the tow rig. Some steep clay hills on the way out towards Moruya.

The caves at the camp ground are about 2-3k walk, across multiple crossings of the same river. Good to kill a few hours, but do it with plenty of light left. ;)

We normally camp at Dry Creek on a Friday night.

We then take Merricumbene Fire Trail in to Bendethra Valley and have either Lunch or afternoon tea at the first river crossing to allow the brakes to cool down

We normally head home via Dampier Mountain FT

If towing you can only go in and out via Moruya via Little Sugarloaf Road

Fuel is a big one on this trip especially if travelling down at night. We take a jerry can of fuel as servo at Braidwood is closed when we drive through so last fuel stop is Goulbourne

Done it a few times



The difference between theory and practice is.. In theory there is no difference.

Hi all, as grease monkey is in mid March Jose and I are looking at doing this trip in early April. I'm waiting for Jose to advised me the dates he is available before I post up details, and contact ACTJT to see if they would like to join us. Stuart are you able to join us, I missed you at Rydal.

Cheers Rob S

Hi Stuart, we can discuss possible dates at grease monkey where those who may join us, will be in attendance. If you're keen on checking out the tracks in Orange the last weekend in February. You could cut across to Bathurst from Goulburn and then to Orange.

Cheers Rob

Whilst trying to shake off this flu like virus, I watched a 4x4 show yesterday afternoon. It showed parts of the caves to caves trail and parts of the Deua NP trails which looks impressive to try.

As my previously proposed trip did not occur, I'm proposing it as a weekend trip in early November and Barrington Tops early December. I may also run another's caves to caves weekend trip in late January 2016. I'll post up trips proposals closer to the dates.

Cheers RobS
