Itinerary
The start of our adventure will see us set off from Licola, nestled on the fringe of the great Victorian High Country and set on the Macalister River in Victoria's Gippsland. Dingo Trax will lead you into the remote wilderness - a journey our team have made countless times after decades of four wheel driving and running cattle through the picturesque region. We'll explore eight of the High Country's historic huts which are nestled in the spectacular Alpine National Park and date back as far as the late 1800s, remaining a testament to the pioneers who lived, explored and worked on this land. Get ready to trek through some incredible scenery as we stumble upon Jamison Hut, Bluff Hut, Guys Hut, Millers Hut and Moroka Hut - just to name a few! You'll also take in other spectacular sites along the way such as Conglomerate Falls, Pieman Falls and Bryces Gorge. Not to mention amazing views from the top of Mount Wellington boasting an elevation of 1634 metres. The Dingo Trax team will have plenty of stories to share about each historic hut and the people who pioneered the region and made it their home. You'll be left wondering how on earth they lived in such a remote part of the world with minimal tools and equipment all those years ago! You'll be stepping back in time and following in the footsteps (or in our case, 4WD tracks) of some inspiring pioneers and cattleman at just about every turn. After trekking some 400 kilometres of steep inclines, panoramic ridgelines and cool river crossings, we'll finish up at the foothills of the High Country in Valencia Creek. You won't look at Victoria's High Country quite the same again after exploring first-hand the rich history and natural wonders of what is now known as The Alpine National Park.

From a very young age, John was always off exploring and enjoying camping trips with family and friends. It’s how he met Burtie, an old bushman and woodcutter from NSW. John still uses the skills and expertise Burtie taught him to this day, and is keen to pass on his knowledge to fellow Dingo Trax adventurers. John’s quest to offer a safe, supportive and unforgettable four wheel drive experience has led him to collaborate with some of the most experienced and skilled 4x4 enthusiasts the Simpson Desert and Victorian High Country has to offer.
