Perfect weekend 4WD track outside Queenstown! Camping and 4wding

- Just down the road from Queenstown, NZ. Sits a little valley with a little hut. This weekend we 4WD up the river, beyond the hut, to find a perfect camp spot for a solo night away from the city. Cook on an open fire, enjoy a couple beers, what more could you ask for from a quiet, solo overlanding mission.

Nice video man. Love the overnight camping / cooking on the fire. You're right about the sandflies, they're the one thing that can ruin a trip. The scenery is outstanding.
You got that right! They definitely drove me away in the end haha but I'll be back. Seems to be doing well! So I might have to do more of this style.
Omgggg yessssss this is it guys love it keep it up
Good to hear the the bird life in the mornings
There were so many bell birds! It was actually amazing to hear them so strong.
Cool vid man! Yea the rubbish left is always a downer when arriving at campsites. We do the same thing taking everyone elses rubbish out so that was cool to see!
Couldn't agree more. It doesn't take much to take it out, so I'm completely unsure why the people before us couldn't do it
There was some pure 4x4 and camping ASMR going on there!
Mint trip and awesome vid. Keep em coming! 👌
Thanks mate! Thought I'd try something a little different in this one and seemed to have paid off!
Nice corner of Southland that!
It's almost hard to find a non-nice corner of the south island 😄
Keep pushing bro keen to see it
Thanks man! Appreciate it
Good local spot to check out close to home, great work picking up the trash too. Look fwd to the next vid.
Thanks! I believe you can get up the valley adjacent to this one, so that might be the next solo mission.
Another ripper video bro keep it up 🤟🏽
Cheers mate! Appreciate it!!
Lovley video, looking foward to more like this and hopefuly see you on another club trip
Tourism life means I never have weekends off to enjoy club missions but its definitely on the agenda to get back out with ya'll again. Weekends could be a thing this winter season. fingers crossed.
Just found your channel. Bloody awesome! Going back through all the content
Welcome aboard! There are some wicked videos to browse through. I'm sure you'll find something close to home.
Good Work Jono, Love the Vid
Appreciate it!
Lol send it the paprika awesome vid once again
Thanks!
Camped in pretty much exact spot few weeks ago. So good!! We filled almost 3 rubbish bags on our trip into here 😢
Wow. Seems like a local dumping spot then. Shame because it will only get closed because of these people.
Have been there. Cowshed hut. Thought the whole eyre station area was closed. Maybe not that bit hah
Eyre Creek track was closed down due to abuse and damage. Other bits still remain open.
Yeah we went to eyre station a few weeks ago it’s closed alright
Should get yourself a swag bro. So easy and convenient
Have since picked up a swag and a roof top tent haha
Used to have both but ended up selling both to upgrade and this was the gap between.
@@4X4MonthlyNZ swag on a stretcher is the ultimate luxury.
Really enjoying your channel, shame about the c v. It sounded like you were sending a morse code sos all the way home, lol, cheers ❤
ahaha! Yeap, she was definitely knocking hard on the trip home! easy fix though, even had a spare in the rig.
Is that the head waters of the Mataura river? And the hut cowshed? Nice place up there
Good spotting!
I didn’t know this track was open did you need to contact any landowners? I was gonna go the other week but opted for old man range
Old man range is definitely a more spectacular track than this one. I find the views from Old Man unlike anything else in NZ. This was definitely a nice quiet little, lower valley weekend but no land owners are needed to be contacted yet.
@@4X4MonthlyNZ cheers I’ll have to check it out once it starts warming up a bit have a good one
Hello there that hut looks like cowshed hut and the Mataura river ?
You would be correct
@@4X4MonthlyNZ all good I just wanted to make sure I was told the track was smashed by flooding looks like you done it okay it’s years ago we went up there we were going to go up there over summer but was told it was smashed ,we mite do it this coming summer are things still the same or has the station made it harder to get in cheers
Are you planning on getting a rear bar on the truck?
Indeed! Smashed up the stock one in the hopkins, couldn't open the boot without the persuasive measures of a hammer. So it is in the plan, to get a swing out wheel carrier on there too and move the spare tyre out from underneath it. Being a 3rd Gen Surf, no one makes a reasonably priced bar so there is a little thinking and making involved and i'm no welder haha
Don't get too many pine forests around New Zealand??
Well there's plenty around but not many I've had a chance to drive through. Central South Island is my local and they definitely seem to be at either end of the south.
What psi u running your tires at through that terrain ?
I generally drop to 18psi every time on everything unless I'm hitting sand
