Details:

Come join us for a low range day of 4WD’ing in Bunyip State Park only 65km east of Melbourne.
The park is a diverse ecosystem ranging from swamps to towering mountain ash forests with many a view of Westernport Bay and the Gippsland to absorb.  
If you are not yet ready for the overnighters and not going away for the Anzac day weekend then this is for you.
We will make our way into the park via Labertouche to complete the Gentle Annie Loop (43 km) followed by the Blue Range Loop with a BYO lunch slotted somewhere in between. We might even find time for the short walk to Lawsons Falls to give the legs a stretch.
The tracks suit varying levels of experience and skill. Most tracks have been classified to indicate their degree of difficulty with plenty of options should you not feel confident to meet up at a later stage.
Visit the Bunyip park website for further details and a copy of the intended routes we will complete.
Bring your enthusiasm, positivity a good sense of humour to meet new people and have fun. If you would like to come apply as quickly as possible. We  will be organising a video call with all accepted participants in early April so we can start to get to know each other and any questions can be answered or details clarified.
A separate Facebook (FB) messenger group will be set up for future communications getting closer to the date.
