- Finally! After multiple trips to the trig point on the Blue Rag Range, I'm finally doing the trip all the way to the very end where it meets the Wongungarra River!
If you've wondered what the track is like after the trig point, and like me you've heard horror stories of clay and un-driveable sections watch this video and see if it's like that now...
Great video. Hoping to take the Pajero up there in a couple weeks for the first time, your info and advice is great, Thanks.
Thx mate enjoy the drive. Actually ran to a subscriber when I did this trip.
Great track, awesome views, love the VHC🏔️
Very informative mate- nice work👍
Thanks 👍 Glad you enjoyed it. The Twins Jeep Track was a scenic surprise and Mt Murray was amazing!
Awesome video mate, love the detailed narration.
Keep up the great work!
Will be doing this track in the coming months
Thanks mate, appreciate the feedback. It's well worth the drive all the way to the end in my opinion.
Really enjoyed the narrative on this vid, and the views. Very informative
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it! Exactly what we try to do is pass on some good track info for everyone.
Another cracker video. So glad I came across your channel a few weeks ago. I've watched most of your vids now. Cheers.
Welcome aboard! Glad you've enjoyed them. Thx
Great drive must do it one day.Thanks for showing us Jase. Those flies remind me of Kiandra in summer, absolutely horrific. Cheers, BobbyB.
Any time! Should be on everyone's list
What a spectacular drive to the end! All the trig point drivers missing out on the best bit. I’ve never driven Blue Rag but will make it a priority to go all the way now.
Couldn't agree more! Glad you enjoyed it. Thx
Great content.
spot on , on your information. I have a 30-year-old government map and your information about the track from blue rag range (mid point) to Wongugarra river no longer exists, from the river to Mount Murray is an MVO and is still there. spot on👌
Thx mate I know you know!! Was fun trying to spot where it used to join up
Great vid, no one ever does vids on this section 👌🏼
Thanks mate that was exactly the idea!
Amazing video. Thanks for sharing.
Took my Pajero across Blue Rag to the trig point the weekend before this was shot. Next time will do the full length!
Definitely recommend it mate! It's an amazing trip to the end views as good if not better than from the trig point!
@@OffTheBeatenPathAus will do it when the seasonal closures are over! Hope to meet you out on the tracks. Your Pajero looks mint!
@@CantleJ541 thx mate, would love that but if we run into each other I'll be driving the 76, Paj is about to go up for sale.
Great video. I've ridden the dirt bike up to the trig point and back, but heard stories it's pretty hard going over the other side. This is a great perspective. How much gnarlier is it over the b ack side?
I wouldn't say it's a lot more gnarlier, would be treacherous if wet as there's a bit of clay in sections towards the bottom but really it's no more difficult than the early section with some great views.
@@OffTheBeatenPathAus Awesome,. Thanks for that. I didn't realise it was just as long as the initial track up to the trig point. The views do look pretty nice, so I'm keen to give it a go.....only in the dry!!!
@@adambell3175 definitely worth it! So many don't realise how good the track is past the trig point.
For anybody wanting to do it now. It’s very washed out but I’ve done it in a 90 series no lockers. If ya got drivers skill ya got it easily. All the way.
thx for the update
Thanks for the great video. This is the second track I’m considering for my Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk. Have you seen any Jeeps up along here ? Any specific type pressures or low range requirements?
Tracks like this in the high country I default to 25PSI, you will definitely need low range some sections are pretty steep. I've seen plenty of Jeep Wranglers up there. Haven't ever seen a cherokee but doesn't mean they don't go there. They probably do. Only one section on one of the big climbs that generally has wombat holes but your traction control should get you through, just watch your line choice.
@@OffTheBeatenPathAus Cheers 👍
It’s a good drive, be a challenge in the wet the bottom section.
You’d be disappointed if you went to camp and there were no spots left. 🤦🏽
Definitely luck of the draw. Outside peak times I think you'd be fairly right
ThankS for the upload do u know what map covers that area
There's a lot of maps covering the blue rag range area. I tend to use HEMA, the Rooftop Maps are great as well.
Awesome video mate never seen the other side of the trigg point in all the footage I've seen of blue rag. Yet to drive it myself and cant wait 😉
Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah 95% of people stop at the trig point and I'd heard so many varying stories of what the end was like from clay, mud to no room to turn around
Is Blue Rag accessible without a lift kit in your vehicle? Have t put one in yet and would like to do this track.
Hey mate, I'd say yes, but you would need to pay attention to your line choice, there's a couple of climbs with wombat holes that you wouldn't want to get wrong without some clearance, but then if your vehicles fairly modern with traction control, unlikely to be an issue.
You really wouldn't want to step off the side of that track would you. That's a bloody long roll down. Those views though, damn it would make the drive so worth it.
Definitely mate it's amazing! Very different to your neck of the woods!
@@OffTheBeatenPathAus Thats for sure.
@@OnCountryWithMick anytime you want to come down mate I'll put aside some time and show you a bit of the high country.
@@OffTheBeatenPathAus on day mate, its on the list for sure.
Up the Paj
Thanks for watching
Did you drop your tyre pressures ?
Yeah always do. This was a little while ago now but staple for me in the paj was 25 PSI. Couldn't go too low with the 18 inch rims.
You don’t air down ??
I do usually run 25 in the rear and 22 in the front. High Plains Rd was pretty rough at the time do already aired down.
First?
yep! :-)
I don't understand why people don't go the whole way it's such I nice track and the river at the end is a good spot to camp
Just an aversion to driving in and out on the same track I think. Also most likely think not much to see after the yrig
@OffTheBeatenPathAus yeah but it's definitely worth the drive I reckon. Also that wombat hole you talked about over that dip almost caught me out on the way back down. I forgot it was there and my car nose dived loosing all traction and control for a couple of seconds it was definitely an eye opener
@@Hazardbone that's the thing it takes only something like that and a chance reaction because you're not expecting it for things to go pear shaped.
