Alexandra Lions Club have offered a solution to hurdles for many years and will do again next month with their annual Beyond the Locked Gates excursion.
Alexandra Lions four-wheel-drive (4WD) event convener Barry McCall said January’s trip would be a tour across Earnscleugh Station, guided by owner Alistair Campbell.
The full day-trip would be a rare opportunity to travel around the 20,000ha property into places the public could never normally go, Mr McCall said.
Earnscleugh Station is renowned for ultra-fine merino fleece including some as fine as 10micron — a human hair is 60micron.
Registrations for the trip, which will be limited to 40 4WD vehicles, close on January 1 for the trip on January 5.
The track is not suitable for 4WD cars.
Anyone wanting to go but without an appropriate vehicle, or with spare seats, could go on a register and the Lions would match as many as possible.
Vehicles will meet at the IceInLine carpark, in Alexandra, and leave from there after a briefing.
