LAND ROVER CLUB OF THE ACT

Trip Dates: 7 – 9 Mar 2026

Meeting point: Williamsdale on the Monaro Highway (opposite the old service station site) at 9am Saturday morning

We will be heading down past Omeo to have a drive on the Haunted Stream track which crosses the Haunted stream 54 times and takes approximately 2 ½ hours to drive. After a leisurely drive south, we will be camping on Saturday night at Native Dog campground in the Victorian high country.

Sunday morning will be an 08:30 start as we head across Limestone road to Benambra and Omeo. After a quick look around Omeo we will head to the Cassilis historic area before heading to Cassilis and the start of the Haunted Stream track. After completing the track, we will head back to Omeo and stay the night at Omeo before heading back to Canberra via Corryong and either Cooma or Gundagai depending on people’s preferences.

At this stage we will be staying in the caravan park in Omeo on Sunday night for the shower facilities and the opportunity to have a pub dinner at the Golden Age Hotel

This trip will primarily be led by Mackenzie and we encourage any ladies who want to do/try some off-road driving to push their partner out of the drivers seat and have a go.

– We will try and arrange to drop off camper trailers at the caravan park on Sunday morning so people can do Haunted stream track without them.

– There is a long drop and not much else at Native Dog.

– It would be prudent to fill your tanks at Jindabyne as there is no fuel between there and Omeo.

– This trip is camper trailer friendly

Qualifying Trip: This trip is open to visitors as a membership “qualifying trip”. Visitor’s name, phone contact (mobile) and email should be emailed to Website Manager.

Trip Dates: 15 Mar 2026

Destination: Olive View Cafe, Currawang, NSW.

Meeting point: 9am, at the Olive View Cafe, Currawang.

Trip Leader is now David Wade.

This is a bit of a different BLC (Breakfast, Lies & Coffee) run. To break with tradition, our meeting point is our breakfast spot. It’s the Olive View Cafe, at Currawang, on the Federal Highway just north of Collector. We will meet there at 9 am, and we will go for a drive after that.

Our intention is to explore some of the lesser known roads in and out of Taralga. From the Olive View Cafe we will zip up the highway and approach Taralga from the east through Towrang, Swallowtail Pass, and Bannaby, and depart towards the west through Roslyn, Grabben Gullen, and Breadalbane back to Collector. The Collector return loop is some 225 km. Fuel is available in Crookwell. Please note, Swallowtail Pass is not recommended for conventional 2WD vehicles.

Lunch will be in Taralga and we suggest that people carry their lunch with them. The park just down the hill from theTaralga General Store is a nice spot to gather. The store has a limited range of pies and sandwiches, but our numbers would probably clean them out.

Options for participants are: breakfast only, leave the group at Taralga, or complete the full trip.

We should be back in Collector around 3 pm.
