BIG LAP OF AUSTRALIA - EPISODE 13
Join us for Part 2 of our Victorian High Country series. This episode we tackle some of the most underrated 4x4 tracks in the High Country: The Mitchells Track, The Howqua Hills Track and 16 Mile Jeep Track. We start this epic trip off at Craigs Hut before exploring the incredible Bindaree Falls and Bindaree Campsite. We find the most peaceful camping spot at Pickerings Flat Campground before heading off the next day to take on the some of Vic's best 4x4 tracks full of steep climbs, river crossings and insane panoramic views of the ranges. Don't miss this one - it's filled with epic camping, amazing 4x4ing and off-roading, and some of the best views in the Vic High Country.

I really like how you filmed the waterfall, rivers, forest and the campsites. Epic footage guys, well done!
Thanks so much! We really wanted to do this place justice as best we could… it’s such a beautiful part of the country hey 🙌 really appreciate you checking the video out!
Great content and quality of video and film is amazing 🎉
Thank you! We really appreciate that 😀😀
Amazing video guys.. HOW GOOD IS VICTORIA!! Cant wait to see more videos of this beautiful place 👌🏼
Oh it’s amazing!! Thank you for watching ❤️ more coming we promise
Great video you guys! I've driven that exact route a few times, just love that area!
Thanks so much! That’s awesome - you could spend so long in this area hey, so much to see and explore. It was a great route - the Mitchell’s track was particularly stunning (as you would know). Thank you for checking out the video 😊
Love the high country and glad to see you guys enjoying it. btw, it How not Hoo when pronouncing Howqua
Thanks for watching 😁 definitely love this area! Haha thank you will remember that from now on
Thanks for another awesome video and I hope more people hit that like button and subscribe to your channel.
Thank you so much! And thanks for watching 😀
Running creek is a great spot
That is one flash short wheel based RV!😂😂😂
😂😂 the Winnebago kept getting stuck on those hills so we had to move it on
Awesome vid! The High Country looks so beautiful 🤩 can’t wait for the next video guysssss
Glad you liked the video!! It’s such an epic spot - highly recommend
Awesome 👍
Thanks so much 😊
Did you not go to lake Cobbler? A beautiful alpine lake and a must see.
Thanks for sharing
We didn’t this time but we just googled it and it looks awesome! We’ll try to get there before we leave Vic. Thanks for the suggestion 😀
Great video guys, it is beautiful country and the video provided an excellent view of the area and the tracks. Glad you worked out How qua towards the end!. I travelled into the area regularly as a teenager and twenty something many many years ago; you have whetted my appetite again maybe I will put some new tyres on the Forester and take off. I hope you travelled the 8km south from Jamieson and visited the very quaint "Kevington Hilton" Gary
Hi! Thanks so much 😊 haha yes apologies for the pronunciation.. we got there in the end! It means a lot that someone so familiar to the area seems to think we somewhat did the area justice - always so hard translating the beauty through the camera! The area is so amazing we absolutely love it. We think getting the forester back out sounds like a great plan - maybe we will see you on the tracks!
Unfortunately we didn’t get there - but we are still in the area so we will definitely try to visit before we leave. Thanks for the suggestion!
Only just started watching-great videos of a beautiful part of the country! Don't know if it's been mentioned before- try to keep your thumbs outside the steering wheel on the rough tracks,
if they are on the inside and you hit a rock, the wheel might spin and break a thumb.
Thank you! It’s amazing isn’t it - we’re stoked that we’ve been been to spend a decent amount of time exploring.
It’s funny you mention that about thumb positioning - it was only a couple of days ago that I saw someone speaking about it in another TH-cam video where I’d previously given it no thought. Thank you 😀. We’ll definitely be doing that now - I can definitely see how easy it would be to snap a thumb if the wheel pulls unexpectedly.
Loved the video. The scenery and photography were amazing. No wonder you ran out of daylight. My suggestion for the dust is to get a rechargeable Ryobi or Makita hand-held blower. Also, it's handy for getting a fire going.
Thanks so much for watching! Really glad you liked it 😊 yes.. in hind site we probably could have picked one of those tracks for the day not 3… just got to excited haha. Some really great tracks out that way. Yes great suggestion, we will definitely look into getting one of those for the road - would make the process wayyyyy faster for sure
Thanks heaps for sharing, love it. Sorry for the dumb question, but what month of the year are you travelling. Cheers
No worries and thank you for watching! Not dumb at all, I think we forgot to say when we were there. This was around April 2024. Would definitely recommend that time of year - perfect temperature (cool at night but not TOO cold) and beautiful days
What’s the go with all the patches??? WA thang??? Victoria is Australia. The place to be.
Our patch collection is definitely growing! Got plenty from Victoria up there as well - hopefully some more as we keep exploring 🤞😁
Get your self a little ozito blower from Bunnings. They like $40 or so $$$ and it would make getting the dust of so much easier and quicker
Good idea but there $49:90 skin only
@@beeragonewhere2819 ah yeah they are. People prob sell them on marketplace for cheap though at least.
I was going to say $40 was cheap!😊😊😊
@@beeragonewhere2819
Yeah great suggestion - we will definitely look into this, would definitely make it so much quicker 😀 thanks so much for checking out the video!
Get the blower and use to give your fire a helping hand when woods wet etc
How is the MRT canopy treating you guys? Is it sealed well?
It’s been amazing….we’re so happy with it. The dust seals are absolutely spot on - they’re legit better than the seals on the actual car. We just did the Oodnadatta Track and it’s the finest dust we’ve come across, and not a speck got through the canopy seals.
Same goes for water, never had any get in the canopy with both pressure washing and heavy rain.
