One day Gav, we are gonna see you catch a fish lol and be shocked 😆 🤣! Love the area around Ton Groggin has fascinated me ever since l first camped in the area in the early 70s. The creeks are pristine and birds and wildlife are abundant. As the days get cooler more and more kurrawongs come down from the mountains as Old Slim use to sing about! It's such a beautiful area, bloody freezing at night, even can get cold in the middle of summer and the Murray still stays bloody cold up there. 😁 Love the huts, it's a pity so many of the real early SEC huts are now in ruins, but still plenty to see if you know where to look. Great episode, love seeing the water crossings. Thank you.
You won’t be the only one who will be shocked. I don’t call it fishing anymore, more like casting for content. Definitely a beautiful part of the world, the bird life is crazy around Buckwong Hut Camping area. Nothing better then waking up to the sounds of nature. Showing ya age there Lee, early 70’s. Thanks for the ongoing support, but more fishing tips would be appreciated. 🤦🏽🤣
@aguyandhistroopy yep lm an old bastard now but still have my memories. LOL I can still catch fish...well sometimes lol 😆 l still have the last lure stuck in my tent mesh window haha. Trick next time you get lure stuck, pull line taut, then give it a hard pull with your hand and quickly let go, the shock to the line will sometimes free up the lure! Errrh hood luck with that!! 😆
Had some time to watch your latest production uninterrupted Krusty. The smells and sounds of the Aussie bush, as well as the peace and quiet, is something I'll never get enough of. I (2wd)drive Canberra Melbourne and return often. The Hume Freeway bores me so I often go via Cabramurra-Adaminiby, or Khancoban- Jindabyne. Camping at Tom Groggin makes the homeward trip enjoyable. River, silence, and the aroma of eucalyptus. Forget the rat race for a while. Your videos are THE best mate. 👍
Cheers Mort, I’m surprised you stayed awake if you watched it interrupted. 🤣 Yeah, there’s nothing better than being out in the bush and just absorbing it all in, it’s a happy place for me. I’d love to put the cameras down one trip and really take it all in. Thanks for the ongoing support of the channel. 👍🏼
Another enjoyable vid to watch I watch a few channels with different styles of presentation, No Talk, Limited Talk, Music, Only Ambient etc etc and I really like the style you present. It's like sitting down over a beer and hearing a yarn. Top Stuff as always
Thanks mate. Nothing better than sitting down and having a beer and a yarn. I reckon I’m on a winner there ! I’d prefer not to talk but i would have even more text on the screen than it already does. 🤦🏽 Cheers for taking the timeout to watch and comment. 👍🏼
Hey mate, just a few wise words for ya Don’t turn away from eating healthy out on the camp, good to make a habit of it I’d love to see ya out n kickin at 120 mate 🍻👌 Keep up the good videos, your an inspiration to everyone who watches, cheers
Definitely mate… Sometimes I wish I could lay in bed and listen to it rather than be up and filming. One day maybe. Great little camp spot that’s for sure. 👍🏼
@@aguyandhistroopy do both mate, keep doing your filing as you are because it’s spot on, and then take 5 to yourself and enjoy it whilst you’re there 💪
Cracking campsite and another great video.What more does one want.Flat ground,flowing creek,camp fire and the sound of birds.Life could'nt be any easier than this.Oh i forgot sitting back and downing some beers.
Some fish maybe? 🤦🏽 It was a nice camp spot that ticks all the boxes, and a great way to finish trip with a few beers and a chat with the boys the night before. Cheers Pete for the support.
Thanks for that. I really enjoyed this as always. As you said ....a good gesture from the young bloke . ( I was trying to work out what was on the bbq when you were finishing breakfast. It looked like a dead black cat slowly cooking and I thought how brave you are...Haha) Cheers, mate
Was a nice gesture for sure. Was very taken back by it. Just the camp cooking gloves, threw them up there to keep and crawly critters out of them. Thanks for watching and commenting Pete. 👍🏼
I might have to keep dropping them earlier so you can watch them with ya Brekky. lol. Appreciate you taking the time to watch it and drop a comment. 👍🏼
Great ep. Surprised no one was camping at Dogman’s Hut. It’s always busy when I’ve been past. The BBQ is definitely an interesting addition. Also - Tom Groggin track looks in okay nick. The washouts are definitely not for anyone in the backseat though. Looking forward to seeing where you end up next.
True, always someone camping around Dogmans, but it wasn’t real late in the day, and it was the week before Easter. I heard people saying TG was in a bad way, hard to think it would ever get to bad with the amount of rollovers on the track, but every person sees the track conditions differently. You’d definitely have to have ya seatbelt on if you were in the backseat. 🤦🏽🤣 I’ll be doing a lot of walking in the next episodes. Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Another good one mate. At least the march flies left you alone at Dogmans this time. Just got back from our little jaunt. Went up McDonalds Gap Track to the Pinnacles, very steep in some sections but we both made it up no probs. The D-Max ate it up (even with my road bias A/T tyres.). O'nighted at Howitt Hut and woke up with everything white, damn it was cold. Planning another one soon, more localised this time, probably snowy area. Cheers mate, BobbyB.
Don’t remind me of them March flies ! 🤦🏽 Macdonalds can be pretty hairy in the wet, one to stay away from. Sounds like you guys had a great time which I good to hear. The Dmax would be a more then capable car, I know Mux’s go well up in the hills. Cheers for watching mate.
@@aguyandhistroopy Yeah McDonalds was damp, probably from the frost melt off the trees. The road crews are doing up Tamboritha road in sections, only a couple of kms are 5kph worthy. We came back through Bairnsdale and up onto the Monaro to get home. Bairnsdale has sure grown, last time I was there was 1968. Cheers mate, BobbyB.
@@bobbyb9371 definitely growing the town, starting to spread outwards. Tamboritha was corrugated pretty bad in sections when I was up there the other month. Glad they doing a bit of work to it. 👍🏼
Another cracking video mate. Your getting good at telling the story and keeping the viewer interested. Classic casting moment getting snagged across the creek. We all been there, just not many prepared to advertise it on the youtube hahaha.
Thanks Mate, only thing I can catch these days are snags, not gunna hide that now am I !! 🤦🏽🤣 Slowly getting my head around this YT thing. 👍🏼 Thanks for the ongoing support.
Definitely a good spot to start Chris, straight off the black top into a cracking river crossing and then some good tracks with awesome views. You’d be hooked on the VHC straight away !! Thanks for watching again, appreciate the support.
@@aguyandhistroopy yeah we camped at Dogman’s Hut, did Mt Pinnibar then came down to do Davies Plain onto Omeo. That was a cracking intro to the VHC for sure!
Too flamin' good mate. Just saw your post while I'm sitting inside waiting for Canberra's fog to clear. Haven't watched it yet, but fu*k the idiot box tonight. I have a good program to watch on TH-cam instead. 👍👍👍👍🇦🇺
Cheers Mort, hope the fog lifted for ya and you got to watch a bit of the episode after you finished watching ‘ Farmer wants a wife ‘ ? 🤣🤦🏽 Thanks mate, you’re a bloody legend!
A couple of good hits mate. Couple of soft hits thrown 😜 Looks like a great drive through there. Bloody tree fish were on the bite hey. Awesome retrieval though 👌 Enjoyed the vid mate. Stay safe and Enjoy. Look forward to the next one 🤙🍻🎣🔥
Bloody Tree fish 🤦🏽🤣 I might have to get myself a cast net. 🤷🏼 I’ll have to pay more attention to your videos now you’re a fisherman. Cheers for watching Guys, means a lot. Keep well
@@aguyandhistroopy cast nets are great mate. The key to them is tying the rope around your wrist and NOT throwing the whole thing into the water 😂😂 That’s a tip I can pass on for free 😜 And I’m glad you’ve finally witnessed just how good we really are at our craft. You’d do well to watch and learn from a couple of old salty dogs like us 😂😂😂 Cheers Legend 😜
Not gunna be able to make it, fall la in the middle of my swing up at Snowy 2.0. It’s has it bonuses doing swing work, but I seem to miss out on a lot of things. Hopefully next year mate 🤦🏽
I went on a Mt Pinnibar/VHC trip last weekend camped at Buckwong Creek and it is a great little site ! Shout out to Adam and his son Will that we met there.. great couple of lads ! I wanted to do the Murray crossing but the entry from the Vic side was chewed out badly, so while I would have made it down to go across to NSW, I would not have got back again.. or I would have needed to winch back up again.
Definitely a great little camp spot ! I reckon if you drove around Pinnibar you would of easily driven back up the exit on the the Vic side, just a few little wombat holes. This was only filmed just before Easter. Thanks for watching mate and taking the time out to comment. 👍🏼
Cracking spot, but I never heard and dogs either of the times I’ve been there. Heard a big buck making some strange sounds one night. I like it better when I don’t hear wild dogs. 🤦🏽🤣 Thanks for the support 👍🏼
Cracker video Krusty! Ive been talking to a mate about heading to Tom Groggin for a bit, now really keen! How's those creeks down there too just beautiful!🤩
Its gods country the high country, around every bend there is always something to look at. Wont be able to cross the Murray at Tom Groggin till after seasonal closures in early November.
Thanks mate, means a lot. That’s what I’m chasing, try to not carry on etc. just want to show the average person what’s out there and can be done without a highly modified vehicle. As for the fishing… well we won’t go there. I call it casting for content. 🤣 Thanks for watching and taking the time out to comment. 👍🏼
If that’s what you’re after I reckon you have nailed it. Meals don’t have to be gourmet and tracks don’t have to break vehicles. Just enjoying the journey and “filling your cup” as the young ones say. Always look forward to your uploads.
Thanks Charles. It’s a diesel, sounds like I might have to upgrade to a bigger exhaust. Definitely reach out if you see me mate, always keen for a yarn. 👍🏼
![Vic High Country 4x4 - [ Relaxing Trip Through To Craigs Hut ]](/img/n.gif)
Mornings like the start of the vid is the high country at its finest. Still, peaceful with nothing but the sound of birds when you wake up
You won’t sleep in there at Buckwong Hut camp ground that’s for sure. The birds are out of control. 👍🏼

Thanks Mate. 👍🏼
A good Saturday morning with a nice coffee and watching your video - cheers🇳🇿
Thanks for the support TJ, really appreciate it! 👍🏼
Great ep.
Surprised no one was camping at Dogman’s Hut. It’s always busy when I’ve been past. The BBQ is definitely an interesting addition.

So did I with a larger group for a couple of nights. around the 4- 5th from memory.
