Will be fine in the dry, would not be in the wet. Be ready to pull over for the 300 or so cars going the other way though

Went through zeka a couple of weeks ago in the dry, would be no prob but as GG said wouldn't attempt it in the wet with a CT. A couple of steep sections heading into the valley that would bring you unstuck. Don't think there is too mch rain on the horizon though :cheers:

G'day coops,

You should be fine in the dry - IF you take your time, expect it to take 3/4 hr longer than usual.

Our Hilux D/C (1996 2.8 ) towed the heavy steel camper in via Zeka Spur a few years back no dramas at all.

Did I mention - take your time   ;D

We exited via Myrtleford and then home over the Dargo High Plains Rd, good trip.

If you were planning to exit the Stn. via Zeka Spur you should be fine with that tow vehicle IMO, particularly in the dry.

Apols, edit spelling town to tow!!    :-[

dunno about the night temp at this time of the year, but the nights in the wonnangatta are usually pretty cold when I am there. so take a good bedding and dont expect it to be HOT at night there too.

As others have said, zeka, when graded is a doddle, but a bit of rain and a few cars through it and a bit of rain and you'll get some very deep boggy corners and a couple of step ledges.

However in your troll you should be fine.

Zeka in my opinion is in pretty good nick, it  has been graded in the last 6 months as a guess, you can also fit a couple of campers at  about 8kms in from Howitt Rd  Rooftop maps marks the camp site, I found it nice spot to stay there swagging it there one night...
