Davies Plains trip planning

[Chris_M Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Chris_M]

We are headed off to Davies Plains next week for 4-5 days and one vehicle will be a stock standard 150.

This drive is rated very difficult in dry conditions, are we asking a bit much of this vehicle?

I just drove along Davies Plain Track and Buckwong Track last week. They're very dusty, with some ruts, some rocks and some steep climbs. A stock 150 will be fine and shouldn't suffer any damage, as long as the driver has some experience. The greatest risk would be tyre punctures, but the rocks on those two tracks were not of the sharp variety. Mt Gibbo (near Pinnibar) is definitely rougher and has sharp rocks.

Thanks Glen_ep

We had a great trip from Mt Hotham to Cooryong via Davies Plains, good driving and camping. No issues with the stock 150, it did it easily. However it would be very different if it was wet.
