Taking On Steep 4WD Tracks In The WALHALLA Area.
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ก.ค. 2024
- The 4WD tracks around the Walhalla area are very challenging, so make sure you are up for it as a driver and you know what your 4WD can do in this kind of terrain.
The Vic High Country 4x4 tracks are very steep, and some of the steepest tracks in Australia.
Walhalla has a lot steep 4x4 off road tracks.
The Walhalla area has a lot of fun 4x4 tracks to drive. As long as you have a well set up 4WD to handle the extreme action you might face, and you as the driver have a fair amount of 4x4 off road driving experience in steep country.
The amount of long, steep 4x4 tracks in the Vic High Country is just one of the things i like about getting out on the tracks in my well set up GU Nissan Patrol.
The steep 4x4 tracks in the Walhalla area, need to be treated with a great deal of respect.
Research the tracks that you plan to drive, and know where you are going.
The 4x4 tracks in this part of the Vic High Country are very steep, and it's not a matter of when you will find a steep nasty track, it's when.
So, when that happens, you had better make sure you are up for it.

Love the shots out the back of the car - different perspective- well done
Gday mate
Thanks mate for your feedback.
It was a great trip.
Cheers Tim
Good to see us older folk doing a better job with you tube videos than the young brigade. Least Tim isn't jumping up and down trying to be tooooo excited. Great video, well presented.
Agreed and he doesn’t try to sell crap that he himself wouldn’t have in his kit or on his car.
Thanks a lot for your reply and video feedback. I greatly appreciate it.
Just keep the videos real and just how it is.
Thanks again mate.
Cheers Tim.
Thanks heaps mate for your feedback.
Cheers Tim.
That’s the first time I’ve seen a downhill track look legitimately steep on camera. Magnificent!
G'day Cliff,
Yeah mate, it is sometimes hard to really show how steep a track is on camera.
Im glad you enjoyed that video in stunning country.
Thanks for your reply and feedback.
Cheers Tim.
My son filmed a few sections amd ur right, looks way steeper when ur there.
I went down these tracks in a ldv t60 Ute, not modified! Was the scariest experience of my life
I bet it would have been mate. Pretty steep country.
Cheers Tim.
the only thing more scenic than the view in this video is when you pull the pie out of the warmer. bloody majestic!
G'day mate,
Good Ol pie n sauce for lunch in the bush is pretty good. Lol
Cheers Tim.
thanks tim enjoying your work
Cheers mate. Thanks very much.
Tim.
Love your work Tim. Top video as usual in a fantastic part of the world.
G'day mate,
Thanks a lot for your reply and video feedback. I greatly appreciate it.
Cheers Tim.
Love the way you talk through the gears Tim. Yet another excellent vid.
G'day mate,
Thanks a lot for your feedback on the video.
Try and pass on as much info as i can while driving the tracks.
Cheers Tim.
Good steep tracks round that area. Worst part is when another 4by is coming the opposite way & one of you have to try find a spot to pass which can be a pain!
Yeah just one of those things to make up at the time who can pass safely.
Steep country alright.
Cheers Tim.
Good stuff mate keep sharing your knowledge and setting a good example for off-roaders
G'day Albert,
Thanks mate. I do enjoy passing what knowledge i can through out my videos.
Plus hopeful showing other four wheel drivers a good example of driving the tracks.
Thanks again mate for your reply.
Cheers Tim.
Beautiful drive ..lots of steep driving.. thoroughly enjoyed the serene mountain views
G'day mate,
It is very scenic country to drive in, with no shortage of steep tracks.
Thanks for your reply
Cheers Tim.
excellent video, keep feeding us with these nice videos Tim.

G'day Zach,
Wicked mate. Thanks for watching from the States.
Hope you get out soon.
Cheers Tim.
I have looked at that track so many times. Buy never actually done it. Defiantly got to do it

Thanks mate.
Fair chance i will catch you on the tracks some day.
Cheers Tim.
Hi tim. I took the exactly same to way out from O'Tooles. And these are really fun and nasty tracks! Well educated by you! I checked every single track before i approch! Great video! Thanks heaps!
G'day mate,
Thanks a lot for your feedback on the video mate. I greatly appreciate it.
I do try and make the trip videos as educational as i can to help others out.
Thanks again.
Cheers Tim.
Love your video, love the high country and love your patrol!!! Maybe one day we can catch up in the high country when I get my patrol !! Keep your videos coming!!!
G'day George,
Thanks mate for your reply and video feedback.
The High Country is a great place to drive around. So many top tracks to drive.
Fair chance i'll see you in the bush some day.
Cheers Tim.
Lovely part of the high country that area. Keen to get back down there soon and spend a few days exploring the tracks with no real destination in mind besides some great camp spots and the quietness 👍
G'day mate,
Yeah, it is a really nice part of the high country to check out.
So many options on places to go.
Cheers Tim.
Love It Tim, I hit some of those tracks in Feb and camped at o'Tooles, great spot
Yeah mate, Otooles is a great spot to camp up for a few days.
Thanks mate for your feedback.
Cheers Tim.
Walhalla is a hidden gem, one of my favourites and you haven't seen steep until you have driven Walhalla.... think I need to get back there soon!!
Go to agree with you there been to Walhalla twice and it's tracks are just steep, but such a great area
Yeah mate. I reckon ever track in that area should be called Steep Track with just a different number Lol
Cheers Tim.
@@timbates4wdadventures 😂 yeah right there been down white star track, that's a ripper
i learnt what 4wd was all about here, once in there was no going back, best rush ive ever had
I love Walhalla we took our XD sedan down some track there , I can just remember the camping area had a river and took us a while to get in there , entered from the main town
Great job great video really really enjoyed this Tim made me watch this 3 Times already just amazing trip
G'day Chris,
Thanks mate, i'm glad you have enjoyed this video. It was a great few days.
Cheers Tim.
@@timbates4wdadventures looked very amazing mate I haven't been over that side in a car but motor bike I sure have it's on the list now. 👍
@@chriscoyne4827 Sounds good mate. You have a good one.
Very nice video Tim!
And thanks for mentioning the tracks names, very few videos on TH-cam let us know where they are.
It's a good way to share your gr8 knowledge of the High Country
Good on ya mate!
G'day Max,
Yeah, i try and give as much track name info as i can.
My whole idea for making my travel videos, is so people can follow the trips i go on.
Thanks heaps mate for your reply and feedback.
Cheers Tim.
Nice mate, looking forward to part 2 👌🏼
G'day Brett,
Thanks heaps mate.
Ep 2 will be next Monday night.
Cheers Tim.
Tim Bates 4wd Adventures Awsome mate, probably a long list of people before me, but I’d love to come on trip with you one day mate 👍🏼
Great video Tim i enjoyed that . Tell you what though you like that garlic mate it must keep the mozzies away LOL
Gday Mark.
It sure was a great trip that one.
Haha lol I reckon it helps to keep the mozzies away. Lol
Thanks mate for your feedback. I greatly appreciate it.
Cheers Tim.
Just been watching my old 4wd action video of you and Jamie recovering a rolled car in the high country. I never knew you had a TH-cam channel. Stoked to find it👍👍
G'day Carl,
That was a great trip with the Action crew.
Those guys in that rolled over Landy were very lucky.
Just lucky we were in the area when the call came in on the UHF for help.
Thanks for finding my channel mate. I hope that you enjoy the content.
Im going live on TH-cam tonight at 7pm if you're around.
Thanks for your reply mate.
Cheers Tim.
Woo Hoo! Keen to watch!
G'day mate,
I hope you enjoy the video. It was a great trip.
Thanks for your reply.
Cheers Tim.
Great video bates love the high country, such a great place, going up there this weekend 👌
Thanks mate, you have a top weekend in the mighty High Country.
Cheers Tim.
@@timbates4wdadventures yeah will do mate
Great stuff Tim!
Thanks mate.
Cheers Tim.
Looks good
Thanks mate.
Cheers Tim.
Looking forward to Part 2+.
G'day Peter,
Thanks mate, i hope you enjoyed Episode two.
It was a great trip from start to finish.
Cheers Tim
Nice one Tim!
Thanks mate.
Cheers Tim.
Love your work brother. That site is a bit like the Barringtons, where i love to go camping. just as cold too!! Pete
Yeah rightO.
It's a lot of fun driving in steep country like that.
Must try and get up your way some day.
Cheers Tim.
Gotta love crawling down a hill in low range. Especially in a patrol.
4x4EastCoast
Yeah mate.
Best way to go 4wding.
Low ranged locked in and in steep country. Lol.
Thanks for your reply mate.
Cheers Tim.
Great advice Batesy...look before you leap !! And never do it alone as you suggest !! Didn't run into Button Man on your travels by any chance ?? The old pie and sauce for lunch !! I was expecting another gourmet feast mate...lift your game !! Well dinner was Haute Cuisine by the look of things !! Great trip as always mate and I look forward to your next adventure !!
G'day Craig,
Yeah for sure mate, us little blokes cant always see over the bonnet in steep country like that. Better off having a quick look before you leap over the edge and find out you cant get down.
No button man on this trip, which was a good thing Lol
The good Ol pie oven is really handy and heats up a good pie for lunch.
I did get down a bit of steak for dinner. Lol
Thanks mate for your reply as always mate. Greatly appreciated.
Cheers Batesy.
@@timbates4wdadventures Tx for the prompt reply Tim..I am still here in Mansfield as I reckon it is a great spot to avoid what is going on in Melbourne. The town is busy due school holidays etc but as you would understand country people "get it" when it comes to this mess !! Take care mate !!
Great take young felah,I'm keen to get out on day trips but the landy is still waiting on caliper pistons. Them tracks seem like they are in good shape. I keen on doing recons on some of these hard tracks these young felahs have a crack at,for me l just looking at them. Probably a good idea to post updated video footage of tracks in our area being Victoria. Be good and kind 😁😁😁😁
G'day Greg,
Thanks mate.
I hope you get those brake callipers sorted out soon. Brakes sure are needed in that area. Lol
Thanks heaps mate for your reply and feedback.
Cheers Tim.
Love this area and your videos. I go there as often as I can to pan for gold and you are absolutely right about being prepared. Last time I went down a track I haven't been down before by accident and it is pretty scary when you on your own with no winch. The track was getting narrower and narrower but I had to keep going as there was no way I could turn around. When I got close to the river I have met few guys winching up the hill and got few perplexed looks because I was in my Grand Cherokee and they had their jacked up 80s and Patrols. They couldn't believe I went down that track and neither could I. It was great fun and I hope I will meet you one day in the high country. Keep those videos coming.
G'day mate,
It's not a great feeling when you are committed to taking a track on.
Good thing it all worked out well for you.
Probably still a bit of gold in the rivers in that area.
Thanks for your reply mate.
Cheers Tim.
Wow. That's about the best condition Fultons has been in a long time.
G'day mate,
Yeah thats for sure.
Fultons can be pretty full on, depending on track conditions.
Cheers Tim.
Yeah must of been graded sometime
@@timbates4wdadventures We've dropped cars into the start to see 38inch muddies on a 4 inch lift have wheels in the air on some awkward angles. Coming back up was always fun too.
Thanks Tim.
No worries at all mate.
Cheers Tim.
Great video Tim, heading up that was in a couple of weeks, as long as Uncle Dan continue our lockdown for too long
Gday mate,
Great trip that one.
You have a safe trip all going well with lock downs coming off.
Cheers Tim.
I've done Fulton's Creek Track a couple times and it looks a bloody lot steeper in real life 😂😂 great vid mate!
G'day James,
It's a great track to drive. Sure is steeper than the video shows.
Cheers Tim
Was just there with my kids a couple of months ago. 20 psi is a good start if ur driving down the creek. I ended up damaging the side walls of new bfgs driving down the creek.
G'day mate,
Yeah, 20psi is where i like to start as well.
Thats no good about the damaged tyre. Hope you got that changed ok.
Thanks for your reply mate.
Cheers Tim.
Love to visit here one day btw I love the travel buddy use mine every trip I go on I laugh at all my mates spending money on takeaway when I have my fresh pie but bloody hell the pies get hotter than my oven at home hahah keep up the fantastic work Tim would love to come on a adventure with you
G'day Aaron,
Yeah mate, ya cant beat the good Ol pie warmer. Cant beat a hot pie out on the tracks over winter. Lol
Thanks heaps mate for your reply and feedback.
Fair chance i'll catch ya on the tracks some day.
Cheers Tim.
Did an easy drive across the dam, down Merringtons and out through Toombon a couple of weeks ago (had her ladyship along, so no Flats Track, haha). On the return passed some cattle droving and when we stopped at the dam to pump tyres up, the car smelled like, well, shit. So I crossed the river on Beardmores, over and back, to wash it clean.
Pity you didn't do Beardmores up to Walhalla Rd - the river has water unlike most of the streams. Bit surprising, since it hasn't been that dry up there. Fulton's not as gnarly as last time we drove it, won't take too long for the IFS/traction control vehicles to tear it up again.
Walhalla is my favourite area, and it's easy reach from SE suburbs.
G'day Erin,
So many tracks to drive in that area.
I will be back for sure mate.
I hope you got the smell out of your rig mate. Lol
Cheers Tim.
Great content mate, new sub.
G'day Jeff,
Thanks a lot more for subscribing to my channel, i greatly appreciate it.
Cheers Tim.
I will admit I bought a prado and modded it heavily and went to Walhalla as my first 4wd experience, and i went into a black diamond track, once I was down the first few steep hills there was no going back, I have never had such an adrelaline rush in my life, I grasped it fairly quickly, but luckily i bought 5 mm under body protection for it because it took a beating underneath. Once the borders are open I will go back, its beautiful country
G'day Paul,
It sure is an adrenaline rush driving the tracks in that area. I love it, top fun thats for sure.
Hope to see you back again some day mate when those State borders open back up.
Thanks for your reply mate.
Cheers Tim.
Have stayed at Loyds a few years ago. Want to camp at O’Tooles. And my Kluger will get in there. Not interested in the driving. Happy to be the boy. This week was a Kurth Kiln. Great spot. Next? Not sure. Thinking maybe Mansfeid area. See ya. Thanks for video.
G'day Stanley,
Both the hut and Otooles are top spots to camp near Donnallys Creek.
Fair chance i will see you somewhere on the tracks mate, maybe on that Mansfield side.
Cheers Tim.
You got the best playground in the world, Tim!
Shame about the new lockdown that seems to be coming your way at midnight. I hope it doesn't clip your wings too much.
G'day Garry,
So far to new restrictions wont affect me at all.
'It's only certain postcodes that are being locked down. Im no where near those areas.
Cheers Tim.
Great vid Tim. When are we seeing part two? Cheers
G'day Matthew,
Thanks mate. Next Monday night for Ep 2.
Thanks for your reply mate.
Cheers Tim.
One of the biggest reasons I go bush is the small towns that you find along the way, Myrtleford has the best pies in Victoria imo
G'day Aaron,
Thats great mate. The small country towns need support from travellers, thats for sure.
Myrtleford has two great bakery's . Both have top notch pies. Lol
Thanks for your reply mate.
Cheers Tim.
Good to see you out and about mate,the little oven is a handy addition to your Patrol,ensuring a pie with sauce is never far away👍
Which brains trust name Flat Track?Must be some story attached to it🤔Been hanging for an outing myself,got way too much work to do at the moment,but we'll get there soon.Take care,all the best Tim🙂
G'day Wayne,
Yeah mate, the pie warmer is nice and handy. Cant have those pie's too far away. Lol
As far as the name of Flats Track. No idea mate, as it's far from what the name says.
One day i'll find out.
Hope you can get out soon mate.
Cheers Tim.
@@trickster8635 Ahh rightO. Thanks for that info mate.
Hopefully we can still do this in the next few weeks.....
Yeah mate, im hearing you on that.
Cheers Tim.
I love getting out and about
G'day mate,
Yeah, it's pretty good.
Cheers Tim.
@@timbates4wdadventures its was the worse about covid 19 .. well that and not seeing the mother inlaw 😉
Dead set Tim is as Aussie as it gets!
Thanks mate. That was a great trip.
Cheers Tim.
Gday Tim. Thank God for your video. When's episode two coming out?
G'day Theo,
Next Monday night, ep 2 will be loaded.
Cheers Tim.
nice area Walhalla
It sure is mate.
Cheers Tim.
This is good but you should have the onboard shot as the main shot then the bonnet shot in the corner.
G'day mate,
Great idea, but my editing program doesn't have that feature to do what you have mentioned.
Thanks for your reply mate.
Cheers Tim.
Was at Walhalla today went across the Thomson Dam and down to Walhalla and saw the track you took off the Walhalla Road.
G'day mate,
Yeah righto.
It sure drops off from the Walhalla Rd.
Hope you had a top day out.
Cheers Tim.
@@timbates4wdadventures I was on my own so not willing to go down there and my passenger didn't believe vehicles could get down that track, your video doesn't do it justice. It was nice to get out but I see we're back in lock-down after tonight.
@@Vacublaster1 Yeah mate, it does drop off very steeply thats for sure.
Not everywhere is in lock down mate. Unless you live in one of the ten listed postcodes.
@@timbates4wdadventures So it seems, when I left Casey was one of the bad areas however, they've magically transferred them to the NW suburbs, Yay...
Nice.
My brother and bil want to take me up through the Vic high country but I'm guessing it will be a while as I am from SA and you guys still seem to be having problems with the plague.
They have had plenty of experience but I am still a bit of a newbie. My vehicle seems capable so it will be a matter of giving it a go.
Hopefully start on some of the easier tracks and see how it goes from there.
Thanks for the video.
G'day mate,
Yeah, things are ramping up again down here with this damn virus.
Top idea going with others that have a bit more off road experience, specially if you are fairly new to four wheel driving.
Start slow mate and work up over time.
Thanks for your reply mate.
Cheers Tim.
@@timbates4wdadventures Yeah all mine and my wife's family are from Melbourne so I feel for you guys. Hopefully it will all be under control soon and things can start getting back to normal.
I work on the theory of "better a live mouse than a dead lion" so I have done a course and am doing a bit more as I can.
My bil scared the beejezus out of me when my vehicle was bog stock on a hill that some others drove away from. Did it easy so with the mods I have now I am certain I will give up before it does.
Love your laid back approach and that you don't go for all the wheelspinning, bouncing bs that other guys seem to be into.
Cheers.
Hi Tim I like to go to o'tooles camp ground for a few nights and was wondering how bad is Donnelly creek rd thanks mate and like always I watching your shows 👍👍😎
G'day Stephen,
Donnelly Creek Road is an easy 4H dirt road mate.
Otooles is a great camp spot.
Thanks for your reply and feedback.
Cheers Tim.
Thanks Tim
G'Day Tim. Love your videos mate. Keep up the great content. Just wondering the tracks that you took in this video are they open during the winter months? Can you access the start of Fultons Track from Walhulla Road? I was under the impression that Walhulla Road was shut from that point back towards Woods Point way. Cheers.
G'day mate,
Not many tracks are seasonally closed in that Walhalla area.
All the tracks that we drove are open all year round.
Thanks for your feedback mate.
Cheers Tim.
Haven’t been out that way a while
Its great country mate.
Cheers Tim
Gr8 vid mate - as per usual. If you saw another convoy coming the opposite way on some of those steep, single lane tracks - what is the etiquette? Who yields for whom? People going up, or people coming down?
G'day Dave,
If another group comes the other way, it's generally those coming down have right of way, because it is harder to reverse back up a steep track, than reverse back down for those coming coming up.
But, having said that, it doesn't always work out as simple as that.
Sometimes, it's just one of those things you work out at the time, and make the best and safest decision.
Thanks for your feedback mate.
Cheers Tim.
You could have kept that ending going going a little longer, I was just about to taste that steak and some of those chips and you cut me off
Gday Paul,
Hahah
That was the first time i cooked chips like that in the camp oven, they worked a treat.
I will be having them again on future camp trips, thats for sure.
Thanks for your reply and feedback mate.
Cheers Tim.
@@timbates4wdadventures looked great.. we will have to give that a try sometime!
@@AllTerrainAction yeah mate. It’s a great area. This was a top trip.
Cheers Tim.
Hey Tim, great informative video as always! was this a recent trip? ie so all these tracks are open where a lot of others are closed this time of year.. cheers mate.
G'day mate,
The trip in the video was only last weekend.
There's still a lot of the High Country open during the seasonal track closures.
You just have to know where to go.
Cheers Tim.
Great vid mate 👌 love the magical high country! What sort of camera do you use in cab? Those shots really show how steep it is 👍
G'day mate,
The high country sure is a magic place, cant get enough of the place.
I just use a gopro inside.
Thanks for your reply mate.
Cheers Tim.
Loving it mate, great video as always keen to get out this way very soon.
Are you running GoPros around the truck mate?
G'day mate,
Yeah mate, Gopros do the job nicely.
Thanks for your feedback mate.
Cheers Tim.
Oops, i was on your solo camping trip ay Native dog. Not sure what happened
Mmm not sure about that one.
Cheers Tim.
Great vid. Noted that it looks like you don't put your swag in a waterproof bag on the car roof - is this correct? (I just watched your swag seasoning vid as well and was wondering). Cheers, DD
Dave Diesel
Thanks mate, I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
That was a top trip.
That’s right mate, no bag goes around my swag.
Cheers Tim.
Hi Tim love the video
Was this filmed before the queens birthday weekend?
G'day Tex,
Only filmed last weekend mate.
Cheers Tim.
Good one Tim 👍 another little trip to put on my bucket list. I take it you run ARB air lockers. How do you find them ? I am considering one for the rear of my Hilux
Cheers...
G'day mate,
It is a great area to check out, as long as both you and your 4Wd are up for it.
Yeah mate, im running the ARB lockers. I sure have had my issues with them over the years.
Cheers Tim.
Tim Bates 4wd Adventures - thanks Tim. Can I ask what kind of issues you had with the ARB lockers - hopefully they are now sorted. Apart from their cost would be nothing more frustrating than needing to use them and they won’t work
Keep up the good work I am finding your uploads very informative for a relative 4wd ‘newbie’ like me
Hey mate
Looking at getting a patrol similar to yours. Just worried that the 4 speed autos probably need another gear, especially when doing 110kmh etc. Thoughts on the auto? I'm undecided what transmission I want just yet. Thanks
G'day mate,
I've only ever had manual. I much rather the manual, they hold better going down hills than an auto will.
End of the day, it's a personal choice you will need to make.
Do you want to change gears or just sit back and let the auto do it.
Manual all the way for me.
Thanks for your reply.
Cheers Tim
Where was your pie from Tim? Bakery or frozen 🤔
Daniel
Gday mate,
I just had a couple of pies that I took from home.
Cheers Tim.
How do get on meeting another vechile on those narrow tracks
G'day Des,
If another group comes the other way, it's generally those coming down have right of way, because it is harder to reverse back up a steep track, than reverse back down for those coming coming up.
But, having said that, it doesn't always work out as simple as that.
Sometimes, it's just one of those things you work out at the time, and make the best and safest decision.
Cheers Tim.
what is that beeping at 16:39
G'day mate,
Thats the oil pressure gauge. It beeps until the engine ticks over.
Cheers Tim.
is there general rule when you come across another 4x4 in the opposite direction? For example at the 10 min mark....who backs up for the other or are most of these tracks "one way"
Car coming down a hill gives way to car coming up, on flat tracks than whoever has the best spot to pull to the side. Common sense and being courteous goes a long way.
G'day mate,
I thought i replied to this a few days ago, but looks like it didn't come through.
Generally those coming down a hill have the right of way. It's harder for a 4WD coming down a hill to reverse back up if needed.
But, having said that it doesn't always work like that.
You are best to just make it up at the time.
Sometimes on tight steep tracks like the time you mentioned in the video.
Get out of your 4WD and go and have a chat with the group coming towards you, then make up a plan.
Thanks for asking mate.
Cheers Tim.
@@timbates4wdadventures thanks tim!
@@absinth64 fiar point! most people out bush are friendly anyways as its "just us" should something happen **Touch wood
Interesting Tim that you say the car coming down hill has right of way due to being harder to reverse uphill... When I was in the Wagga 4wd club back in 1978-79 doing a lot of trips to the Dargo high plains and surrounding areas we always instilled in members to give way to the vehicle coming up hill as it is much harder to get going uphill again if stopped. The car coming down hill can generally see a car coming uphill easier and can pull off to the side to let the uphill car pass without stopping and then easily get going again as facing downhill.
Any good camping spots in wallhala you could point out by any chance?
G'day mate,
Where we camped in the video is atop spot at Otooles. You also have Little Otooles on the Donnally Creek.
Merringtons is anther nice spot, but it does get busy, as its easy to get to.
Hope that helps mate.
Cheers Tim.
@@timbates4wdadventures champion thanks mate
@@thecrakanot no worries mate.
Whats ur favourite pie brand?
G'day Alex,
Pretty much a good Ol plain beef pie does the job.
But, i don't mind a steak onion, steak n cheese, steak n bacon to mention a few. Lol
Cheers Tim.
Steep steep steep, hey if you had a good set up 4wd but no lockers would u do that track???
Absolutely mate. Lockers are great to have, but you dont need them.
Just need to be careful in some conditions if you dont have them.
Cheers Tim.
@@timbates4wdadventures cheers thanks 🙏
@@louiskudlak2241 no worries mate.
Otools worst camp spot ever hate camping with 50 strangers that's not my idea of camping I go to the bush to get away from people
