We are a couple from Gippsland in Victoria, Australia. We don't aim on making Oscar winning videos, but wanted to document our travels for the enjoyment of others...hopefully. He likes 4WD and camping, She likes 4WD, camping, and fishing. Together, we will go anywhere, and are forever in search of the perfect campsite. With that in mind, we will do our best to provide you with details of where we have been, including track names, and a description of each track.
Feel free to follow us on our journeys, and subscribe if you think we are worth it. (That would be really good! )
By the way....If you dislike our videos, please leave a comment explaining why. Maybe we can fix things next time. :)

Exploring the Victorian High Country - Part 1 - Mt Wellington - What else could go wrong?
มุมมอง 4302 ปีที่แล้ว
Join us on Part 1 of our High Country getaway, where I take Hilds to the summit of Mt Wellington, and on to check out Millers Hut.....just like I did with the kids a few weeks prior. However, I made the rookie mistake of leaving the GoPro's at home, along with the other battery for the camera. So, we had to make do with what we had...I wont be so forgetful next time. I hope you enjoy.

Come along for the ride as we explore more of the Avon Wilderness, and travel to the summit of Mt Wellington. All was not as expected, however, and we set up camp at Millers Hut. With Hild's at work, we intended to return a few days later so she could experience the views as well. So what went wrong?

มุมมอง 1.7K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Come along for the ride as I explore the hills to the north of Briagolong, and head towards a little camping area on the banks of Freestone Creek. This was definitely an experience, as I lost count of the number of creek crossings I had to tackle.
Exploring Gippsland, Victoria- The Great Alpine Road

Come along for the ride as I go over the top and travel The Great Alpine Road from Wangaratta in the North East through to Bairnsdale in Gippsland. Get an insight into the fantastic views to be had from Mt Hotham, as well as a quick look at some of the smaller towns along the way.

Free Camping in Gippsland, Victoria - Tambo River - Exploring East Gippsland
มุมมอง 7K3 ปีที่แล้ว
This week we visit a little free camping area on the Tambo River. Whilst it isn't far from civilisation, it is a peaceful little spot. The track in is 4WD only, with a few minor challenges...nothing too extreme. Unfortunately, we get to see what happens when people don't respect the bush, and these free camp sites. It will regenerate, only if it is allowed to. Hope you enjoy. Cheers, Stu

We drive to Huggets Crossing, take in the views from Huggets Lookout, and and then make our way over Pearson's Point, where we take in the spectacular views of Gippsland from the lookout. Check out the Bloopers at the end. Enjoy.

Isuzu D-Max - Meet Max (The Walkaround)
Hi mate, bugger the sheilas in active wear posing and doing whatever stupid useless activity. I'd rather watch and listen to a real bloke telling it straight. Greetings from Melbourne, and keep up the good work old chap ! !
Cheers, mate. I still giggle and shake my head at them...but maybe if I got in the active wear as well...ok, definately not! LOL. Hopefully i might be able to get out again in a few months. Thanks for the support.
When do the outtakes start in the video?
Haven't seen any new vids hope all is ok
Hi mate, yep, all is good. The work/life balance has got the better of me for a bit. Hopefully i might be able to get out in the coming months...i know it has been quite a while.
Just got back from that spot you mentioned that got trashed, spent a few nights there ... that tuck off down the way is slowly bouncing back but a muppet has deepend those ruts futher... good thing though is the drive down in there is not at the point you can hardly get down without some serious rash on the car. Cleared a few dead trees from across the track on way in and back out but your spot on rippa spot and it aint hard to look after the places we love visiting is it... new sub mate!
Hi there old chap. Always good to see your adventures and camping trips in East Gippsland as I love the place and keen to do more trips and camping there. Keep up the good work.
Hope your going g to do more 😊
I went down this track today as not far from my place. Got to the first hill and was no way a standard 4x4 was getting through. Was all chewed up where big wheeling rigs have thrashed it making huge divots. Was disappointed why people continue to ruin good tracks. But then again, could be me just being a pussy 😅😂.
Thanks for video young man
Enjoyed it mate..
Cheers mate, so did i! 😉
I used to go bush, by foot, before the popular ownership of 4 wheel drives. They have essentially buggered so many places, the bush of my youth has disappeared for so many reasons, one of which is drongos in their Toorak tractors.
Mate, that is soo true...of a minority. I believe the majority respect the bush and the tracks. It is those in the minority who spoil it for others. Sad but true.
Just got onto your videos great work . One thing I can say , your the only bloke with a TH-cam channel that when your out filming your adventures that you stop near a sign post with a name on it , congratulations it's about bloody time someone did something that lets the veiwer know where the hell you are . Well done .
Cheers James. I am hoping to do a few more videos this year...2022 was very light on, i know. In regards to the track names and sign posts, I try to include as many as I can, as it annoys me as well when you dont know where the footage is from. Some may say..."Get out there and find them!" ..yes, you can do that, but it is a bloody big country. lol.😂
Thank you for showing what magic beauty the ranges still hold after the bushfires 🌞 WELL SAID ABOUT CAMPFIRES. I live in Sarsfield and seeing that makes me 🤬
Thanks for the comments, Emma. I have found a few like that in recent months. Yep...makes me quite angry. And I know how bad you guys got smashed in Sarsfield. (Mum lives in Bruthen). Take care, Stu
Are you sure you were on TH-cam Stu? And not another "Tube"? 🤣
Fact 3 KMs on the great alpine road in Wangaratta floods they close it at the start of the great alpine road to the detour road
Really enjoyed the relaxed vibe of thus vid. Can you please explain how you attached the stronger Velcro to the awning? I'm looking at getting the same one and I noticed the Velcro straps it comes with are too flimsy.
Hi Matt, thanks for the feedback. As for the awning, it took a little bit of work, however once I had a plan, things went well. Issues I found witht he awning, apart from the crap velcro, was that there was no overhang on the sides. So if you attached the awning walls, there was still a gap. I had an old Awning Wall (Kings) lying around, so i cut it into strips and hemmed on the sewing machine. (I am not a tailor, but I had a crack!) I bought some good quality Velcro from Spotlight, and sewed it onto both sides of the strips of material, so that when attached to the awning, they will secure in a fashion that overlaps. I then sealed the awning where i had sewn the strips with Drizabone dressing. To increase the overhang, i moved the side poles in by about 25mm (i think?). I explain what i did in the vid...at about the 11:30 mark.
@@stildsadventures25 Thanks for the explanation Stu. Great job. Looks way stronger. Have you used the awning in rain yet to see if the over-lap is keeping the water out? Really enjoying your vids 👍🏽
Bloody gunhoes going through mucking up great camp spots
I was pretty annoyed when i saw the damage. I havent been back there for a while, so i hope things have started to repair naturally.
So, one wouldn't put a commodore down that road, right 😊
Um...no i wouldnt. I am sure some may have tried, though. 😄
I wonder who is mowing the lawns there? Or are they grazing on it?
I believe that the owner of the neighbouring property grazes cattle on it occasionally.
Dont think the Gold ran out..People got lazy and didnt want to dig deeper
Your absolutely correct mate about getting out and having a look, unfortunately or fortunately 😂most people these days are spoon fed from facebook.
Luke, the Spoon feeding is getting out of control. As I have said in an earlier vid, do your research. By all means, get some ideas from Social Media, but then research an area...and get out there and look for yourself. :)
Lovely country went there about three weeks ago we came into there via wombat range track then down hearnes spur track very steep
That's awesome mate. Haven't done Hearnes Spur yet but it is definitely on the list. :)
Just used some of your videos to do a big two days up around freestone creek, including Lees Creek and Lloyds Knob Track etc. Very helpful 👍 cleared the tracks of trees too which was good fun! its a very under utilised area which I only started researching after watching your stuff.
Thanks Mitch. Glad I could help. I hadnt been on those tracks before, so was an eye opener for me. Will be going back...good tracks to explore!!
@@stildsadventures25 There is a telstra tower about twenty minutes up freestone off Roberts or Tower Link Track. Nice views up towards Mt Wellington if you are heading back up Freestone!
@@mitchturnbull1276 Thanks for the heads up. Will check it out.
Some very sound advice there. 👍
Thanks mate. Appreciate it.
What a pity about the clouds. VHC can change so rapidly. Lacey looks like she is having a ball. !!!
What a rock hoppin drive!!! Great work...great views!!!
Mate, great effort with what you had. Amazing country. 👍
😃 Some funny moments there. Good works, mate.
What a beautiful spot
Which one? Kellys Lane or Wonnangatta? hahaha
Both haha
@@zacharyclare6282 you could probably get to Kelly's Lane
Probably my favourite track in the VHC. Only just found your videos,really enjoying them!
Yes, a very...interesting track. haha. Glad you are enjoying my content. More to come soon.
Cant wait for Part 2 ....awesome views!!! Great job.
Thanks! 👍
Couldn't have asked for better weather this time Stu
Haha, yes..this time, Mate. I even contemplated a swim!
One day I will take my Suzuki swift down all these tracks and you can record me
That will be awesome!!! Cant wait....hahahhahaha
But it doesn't have any recovery points?
@@harrymather3707 Hahahahaha
It's ok Loz. I know Suzi can go anywhere. Just like Hundi did 😁
Is she holding your teddy ? Lol
LOL...No mate...my Teddy is still at home. Hahaha
Awesome vid Stu, shame about the clouds. The pics were quality aswell. I hope you enjoyed your backyard bananza!
Thanks mate. Part 2 is coming shortly....
Cant wait for the full episode. 😃
When you heading out next ? Go upload mate
Will be uploading a little something in the next few days mate.
@@stildsadventures25 good upload oops not go upload lol
@@rudvs Hahaha....no worries, Thanks for that.
Deflating when you see a Subaru driving up
Yeah, but he had bigger company. At least it wasnt a Suzuki Swift. Lol
Take a lawn mower next time
Hahaha...yes mate. Next time. The camp sites further up the hill had shorter grass....but were occupied. All good.
bring us Free Camping in the beach thanks
No worries. Will see what i can do.
Great Vid Stu! Had a good laugh
Thanks mate. :)
Looks like a beaut spot Stu! All the deer were probably scared of your mug 🙈
Gee, thanks, Zacco. Lol
Upwards and onwards!! :)
is Angusvale campground accessible by 2WD?. Great video!
Hi mate, yes, you just have to take it easy on the way in, as there are some decent erosion ruts in the road from time to time.
@@stildsadventures25 Awesome.... thanks for the quick response.
It only takes one dickhead to stull a great camping spot
Thats exactly right, Jim. Unfortunately, they are out there and they dont care at all, but have a winge when things start to get locked up.
@@stildsadventures25 Your not on your own I had a winge to th-cam.com/video/G1uE6a_r7Q4/w-d-xo.html
Love the bloopers at the end. 😆
Nice D-Max
Very informative Stu. One of the best vids about the Great Alpine Road i have seen so far.
Now i want a project car! :)
Oh yeah...I totally agree with you about the unattended fire. So irresponsible to not put it out.
Awesome video. The drone footage captures that magnificent terrain beautifully. Cant wait for you to do an overnighter soon. Keep up the good work.
