I reckon you will be right if it hasnt rained for a week. Make sure you stop and check out the waterfall, its beautiful! Yeh mate there isnt a lot in the National Park to do other then the track in this video, but the surrounding state forests have shitloads of activities to do. I did another video too where I found a hut out there.. the link is th-cam.com/video/ZjtfFtg56dk/w-d-xo.html if your interested and it has this track but going the other way with a mate in his Troopy. And of course there is a few old timber and steam train relics to the north of Bulahdelah to check out as well, just outside Wootton in the forests nearby. I recently watched a couple vids of yours on Basin Road and Mt Allyn etc, enjoyed them. Thanks for checking out one of my vids, appreciated!

ahha. I think given the patrols driver, it would of nailed it.

Appreciated pal.

It certainly is a cracking area especially when noone else is within yahoo of you. There is some good adventuring if your keen to get up into a couple of the surrounding state forests and follow some of the old logging trails and less maintained roads.

Yeh i know!!

Mate there were no campers between Dalmorton and us and we didnt see any further up river either.. we basically had atleast a 25km stretch of river to ourselves. Maybe saw 10 cars in total across all 3 days. F'n brilliant!!!

Its a brilliant piece of the world. Just avoid summertime school holidays, gets quite busy!

@@scottroygbiv I can imagine it would

yeh I liked the vid. So your saying its a DMAX thing then? I think some sliders are high on his shopping list now to replace the steps.

Yeh was good to see him and the Ranger in action! Thanks for watching pal.

Thanks pal. Surely you got Barrington Tops on your list of places to visit soon?

@@scottroygbiv yeah mate I’m keen to get back up that way for sure & do some areas I haven’t done

@@unproadventures4142 Give me a yell if you do, more then happy to come up and say gday if timing suits.

Stop it, your too kind :P When the Jeep coming on a proper adventure?

Thanks mate! Looking forward to your view of events.

2020 Facelifted GXL. I use an Ironman bullbar.

@@scottroygbiv how does it fit?

@@richardwalsh5570 it fits as you would expect. Mine is the old bullbar design, they have a newer one now that is better suited to the facelift.

@@scottroygbiv cheers, will look into it 👍

I think it rates up there is one of the best campsites in NSW. Thanks for checkin out the video!

Yes the pub is a decent stopover! But I do love me a nice national park grassy campsite whether it be by beach or bush.

Any time!

Yeh whilst I doubt they were human killers, still would of done a bit of damage to the car if they fell on top.

@@scottroygbiv definitely would have

Yeh I just happened to notice a gust hit the tree tops there, and then realised they werent swinging back so hit the skids.

As you know, i only stopped 100m back down the road to remove a stick from under the car, if I didnt have that stick would not have seen this as we would of been well past it by then.

yes, yes it was!

I think one size up is ok. But if you join the this facebook group there is plenty of posts about tyre sizes and so on or just ask and someone will answer. facebook.com/groups/1209957709118557

Its a pretty part of the world.

Broughton Island is a place I really want to get out too and stay a few nights.

@@scottroygbiv I've only ever stayed once. I was helping with frog research for UTS in Sydney. We stayed for 3 nights

yeh mate not exactly relevant to big 200 drivers, but I had a couple fellow owners wondering how to drive on the beach, so just anted to show them how to disengage the traction control properly.

Prior to this, and I had to edit it out, you should have heard the language :P

yeh mate just wanted to show some peeps i know what to do, how it isnt difficult.

Good work mate@@scottroygbiv

Theres a few good ones in that clip for sure! Thanks for watching.

Have u been recently ? Is much closed?

@@tshelly5366 most recently I went mid last yr to that area, most of its still open.

fills in a day nicely! You should get up there one weekend.

Yep, and I landed it and packed it away immediately. hahahaha I only had owned it for 5 days at that stage, wasnt keen to lose it.

Aww thanks for watching! Appreciate it :)

Never heard of the crashed plane. Might do some googling, see what I can find. thanks for watching pal.

1950 a RAAF jet crashed into the forest there. Be interesting to see if any of that wreckage still exists at the crash site.

@@scottroygbiv we should go searching one day

@@FlatBrokeAdventures I have googled the bejeebers out of it, there is nothing to indicate anywhere roughly where it could be, other then the Wallaroo State Forest.. which is now predominately a National Park. So could be anywhere out there.

Its a difficult job, but someone has to do it! Hahaha nah in all seriousness they are great people and its nice to have another local to share some adventures with from time to time.

@@scottroygbiv yep, muddy is the man. I love that 200 hey

Thanks for watching! Appreciated.

They had to have known I had the drone up when they arrived (I am holding the controller!) but "Steve Likes A Chat" mode kicked in and he distracted them whilst I landed it behind the cars. They said absolutely nothing about it.

Hi there. I did not use the locker at all. Was able to get through without it. As you would of seen a couple of times I had to reset and go again but the Tuna got over the issue on its own steam without the need for the locker.

Everyone naturally flocks to the beaches at Forster, its understandable, but they miss this great little gem along the way to check out.

I do!!! Thinking I might put a Next Level Adventures one in the spot.. what ya reckon? :P Seriously though, I will be grabbing a sticker from you sometime after xmas.

@@scottroygbiv I’ll send you one 👍. Shoot me through your address

Hi where did you get the Russel coight sticker from??

Just off Ebay pal.

Thanks for watching pal.

1968!!! I cant imagine how much of a challenge that must of been then, and in a mini!!

Legit the best 4wd trip I have been on. Everyday was adventure. And different. Loved it. And probs only seen 1% of whats there to see. Keen as to get back down there. As for the drone, I need to learn to fly it in some clever ways and thank goodness its got some preset fligthmodes else my drone footage would suck!

She's a beaut sticker. And tbh, I am a closet Troopy lover.... when my days as a Tuna driver are ending I am determined to join the Troopy Owners ranks.

Happy to help pal!

Abdsolutely loved the track and the helipd. Dissapointed I didnt get more footage to share! Thanks for watching, appreciated.

Was still a good day out. I will defo be heading back to the area.

P.s, not long episodes of they are enjoyable. That was a great episode mate 👍🏼

Thanks pal, I actually enjoyed this one meself. As for Rob, all australian field umpire this season.

haha Jeeps like smashing into anything tbf.

Definately next time I/we head to the high country there will be less time driving, more time enjoying some walks and extra little sites and things to see. I was like a little kid when it was snowing, thankfully noone caught it on camera :)

@@scottroygbiv I was the same mate, I wasn’t meant to be there that night, so was like a kid in a candy store. 🤣

yep did a week down there. Loved it. Definately heading back!

Thanks for watching, much appreciated. None of us on that climb were what I would call experienced off roaders. Rob in the Patrol, it was his first day on a 4wd track, ever. But we didnt do anything stupid, it wasnt a race to the top, we just took our time. Low range, just crawl up. I didnt have to activate the locker which was good, my 2" lift and 31.5" tyres were more then enough to avoid any clearance issues just had to take the right lines. Although the locker would of made some of those wombat holes on the approaches to the roll overs a lot easier to navigate if I had come stuck on any of them. The Dmax is stock as, infact probably a little bit lower on the front now given he has a bullbar and winch fitted. He did get stuck a number of times but it was a case of reversing back, trying different angles and approaches and he got through every one on his own steam which impresses me a lot. And welcome to the world of Fortuner ownership!!

You said I would enjoy VHC, and you werent wrong. Absolutely loved it.
