LOCATION/DESCRIPTION:I will do the full event, but leaving on the Friday before, hence the start day above.

This looks like a great event with a lot of variety, so you are invited to come and join me on a trip, register and travel together to Omeo as a group from the Pajero Club. The Event is “A High Country Experience” conducted as a multi-club event run and organised by the Wangaratta 4WD Club Sub-Committee and welcomes everyone who loves four wheel driving.

This trip follows on from the Inaugural Buckland and Beyond Event in 2016, followed by the very successful Omeo High Country and Beyond in 2017 and has been designed to give four-wheel drivers a true High Country experience. Based in the Omeo, East Gippsland, Victoria, this region provides access some of the best that the High Country has to offer. Participants will be in for a real treat, learning about this great region of our state that is full of history from the early explorers and gold miners.

This year the event is also offering two half events for those who can’t make it for the full event but want a taste of this great experience.

The Base Camp:- Omeo Caravan Park.
