Celebrate the Māori New Year with an epic girls-driven getaway into the mountains!
Whether you're in for a day of adventure or keen to camp overnight under the stars, this trip has something for every 4x4 woman out there.
What’s happening?
We’re heading into the stunning Harper River area, tackling the scenic Avoca Track and finishing up at Basin's Hut or Old Basin's Hut. You’ll experience everything from rivers and valleys to good yarns and maybe even a shared hot cuppa at the hut.
Overnight Option:
Two huts are available — the newer Basin's Hut and the more rugged Old Basin's Hut. Stay the night with the crew or just cruise in for the day and make your way home in the same day — your adventure, your call.
There is plenty of room to camp or park with the rooftop tent if that is your jam as well!
Meeting Point: Harper Road Campsite (we’ll convoy in from there)
Rig Requirements:
This trip includes river crossings and some rocky sections, so please make sure your vehicle is up for the challenge. You'll need:
• Rated recovery points
• Snorkel
• UHF radio
• All-terrain or mud tyres
(Note: large boulders may be present on this route)
• General 4WD capability for river crossings and off-road conditions
Staying the Night?
If you're camping overnight:

🗓 Event Details

After heading back down, we plan to camp at Waipakihi — crossing the river to reach the larger sites if conditions allow. If not, an alternative camp at Pokaka Mill (about an hour’s drive from Tukino) is available.
That evening at camp, we’ll share stories, reflect, and remember Juliette — her laughter, kindness, and the impact she had on us all. 💓

Snorkel – Preferred but not essential (camp location may change if needed)
Recovery gear & UHF recommended
Camping gear
Sleeping bag rated to -4°C or lower
Blankets, warm clothes, beanies, gloves

Otago - Cluden Hill
Cluden Hill Trip
10am Saturday 22nd March, meeting at the Tarras Store ready for an 10:30 am departure
Just a fun day trip to meet everyone!
this is a Grade 2 trip. There are some mud bogs
Here's the plan: After leaving Tarras Store we travel along the main highway to the top of Cluden Hill where we will turn right down into farmland and follow along the dirt track crossing the Lindis river or over the bridge and then a steady climb to the top of the hill where the views are spectacular. Then after a drive along the top we start our decline into Lauder Station. Lunch will be at a hut along the way.
The trip will be about 6 hours with a long climb near the start that will have small creek crossings and bushes close to track so expect some sort of pin striping. The track is rutted and can be boggy if there has been recent rainfall.
There will be rock climbing and some articulation, also bushes that are close to the track and at some stages the track can be narrow.
The trip should finish in Lauder around 4pm.
Gear: Bring your own lunch
Spark arrestors are compulsory for this trip and must be fitted onto trucks. You'll also need your standard recovery gear such as shackles, snap straps, tow hooks etc. Bring warm clothing in case it is chilly at the top of the hill.
This will be postponed if there is heavy rainfall
Feel free to bring your partners/friends
No dogs unfortunately on this trip.
