@@OutNAboutAustralia thanks Luke, yeah it’s a special place, and then you get sunrises and sunsets to go with it. Don’t worry mate, it’s gets topped up before every trip. 🤦🏽🤣

@@Big_Daz thanks mate. I’m using the 23Zero Bandit 1100. It’s 1100W x 2150L x 850H approximately. Can’t say I’ve seen the Darche swag in the flesh, but I hear they are very similar in many ways. I think either way you will be happy. Thanks for watching mate and taking the time to comment. 👍🏼

@@muzzo-z-3976 all closed up now mate. As I mentioned I on your other comment, I filmed this around May. You’ll have to wait till the Melb Cup weekend in Nov now.

@@muzzo-z-3976 yeah mate you’re correct that a lot of tracks are closed over winter and some of these tracks are included in the closures. I try and keep my content up to date or as close to as possible, unlike most YT channels which are 6 months behind. This was filmed around May from memory. Hope this answers your question.. Thanks for tuning in and watching and taking the time to drop a comment. 👍🏼

@@brian_brockleigh first time I’ve driven it mate so I’m not quite sure, I was told there might be some bog holes on the track which I never came across, had been a dozer on it recently by the looks of it. Thanks for watching a dropping a comment. P.s did you make it to Thowgla Falls ?

@@aguyandhistroopy nah i was spewin - shocking weather made me cut the trip short so never got up that far. still on my list tho!

@@brian_brockleigh I went back recently after they finished all the works to the area. It’s pretty impressive.

@@chrisduckworth2022 well I did ask the question if they were called a ‘Boulder Stream’ hoping to get clarification on it. Been a few people, well 3 say Scree.! So I’m thinking that I miss heard the pronunciation of it as my hearing isn’t the best and thought it was Stream instead of Scree. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with me Chris, I’ll correct myself next time I’m up that way and be sure to give you a shout out. I’ve never seen the rocks like that in a Scree, all the ones up at Snowy 2.0 are more rounded in shape? I’m more then happy to come on a trip and learn a bit more as long as you can run cameras for the 3 days we up in the High Country. Cheers for watching and commenting ! 👍🏼

@@aguyandhistroopy No need to do corrections Krusty 🙂 I get a ton of knowledge from watching your (and a few others's) vids, so it's swings and roundabouts. Gotta wait for the tracks to re-open but I'd be game if you are 😀

@@twiggys4x4touring it’s a hard thing to get your head around the ‘Scree’s’… not many people know what they are called and how they form including myself. 🤦🏽 Been informed that they are called Scree Slides ! I’m gunna run with that from now on. It was a magical camping spot, views were on point. I’m glad I didn’t stay at Lovicks as planned. Thanks for taking the time out to watch and to drop a comment. 👍🏼

@@reddustadventures thanks guys for the positive feedback back. It would be pretty hard not to capture the beauty of the High Country. Unlike some YT channels I don’t see it as a competition, happy give shout outs etc, as I’m learning and gaining information of them also, and it’s amazing what you can learn from a quick chat from a fellow traveller. I’m pretty sure there are a lot others that do it a lot better than me guys. 🤦🏽🤣 Thanks for the support as usual guys, it’s greatly appreciated! 👍🏼

Nah mate, didn’t even cross my mind. 🤦🏽🤣

@@happyguy61 thanks Chris, I guess you could say I’m living the dream, well too a degree anyway. I’m glad I could refresh your memories of a beautiful part of the VHC. I be heading back over that way again to do some more exploring that’s for sure. Thanks for the continued support of the channel. 👍🏼

@@aguyandhistroopy us old blokes gotta stick together mate!😂 nah all good mate am loving your content.

@@kentitcume645 never too late to watch them mate, and I’m glad your finding the content enjoyable. Not like some CZcamsrs I don’t find it a competition, I find things and learn things through other channels, so no harm in mentioning them. It’s a shame a few more don’t actually do this. 🤦🏽 Thanks for your continued support of the channel. 👍🏼

@@aguyandhistroopy I like your attitude and it’s openly on display in your videos. No need to thank me for supporting you. If what you did wasn’t good I wouldn’t watch it. Simple as that. None of the shows I watch on Tele send me a text and thank me.😂

Thanks Jase for taking your time to watch mate, sounds like you’re about due for another trip up that way !! 🤷🏼👍🏼

@@aguyandhistroopy Always :-)

@@mudgutzadventures436 cheers Muddy, glad you enjoyed it. It’s beautiful country and an awesome track, needs to be out on your list. The huts and views are insane.

@@spf4x4 thanks mate, I could think of plenty of things that need to be said. But I’ll just let that be for a while !!

Cheers Damo, it’s surprising how many people don’t know about the proposal for the state forest. I just feel if they get this over the line in Vic other states will follow suit slowly locking us out of everywhere. It’s a cracking area, my first time over there but definitely won’t be my last. The howling just added to the attraction of the place, but I’m glad they kept there distance. Thanks for the ongoing support of the channel mate. 👍🏼

@@scottroygbiv thanks Scotty, appreciate you taking the time out to watch it. I’ve been meaning to try test out the copyright strike for a while with adding some commercial music into the videos. Think I’ve cracked it, and it made packing up all the more enjoyable. 👍🏼🤣 Cheers mate. 🍻

What ever is lying around at home that isn’t going to be reused will be coming as kindling. 👍🏼 Cheers for watching mate 🍻

@@wanderingoglethorpe means that people won’t be able to use the NP as they do the State Forests at the moment. Eg. motorbike riding, 4wding, horse riding, walking dogs, prospecting etc. they will close it all down. Tracks and access trails will become overgrown and when fires come through they won’t be able to be fought. It’s just the way our government try to take our freedom away. They are only concerned about the city folk here in Victoria, the country people miss out on everything.

@@alanjohnston243 thanks Alan, be some pretty spectacular views in the next short video. Cheers 🍻

@@nathankenny9516 most likely mate, he’s a legend of the VHC.

@@jeffrasmussen8852 hey Jeff, I personally have never had any issues, have heard them a few times but that’s the extent of it. Thanks for tuning in mate and dropping a comment. 👍🏼

@@DiggerNLil yeah it’s a cracking spot, you’d be exposed to the winds up there that’s for sure, but that would of been chaotic. Better you than me!! 🤦🏽 Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. 👍🏼

@@kingbrude it’s a cracking spot with some awesome views that’s for sure. I think Tim Bates camping there a month or so before me, his video would have a lot more views than me. 🤦🏽🤣 Bloody influencers ruining it for everyone these days. Thanks for watching and taking the time to drop a comment. 👍🏼

@@SamsHuntandCook thanks Sam, it’s a beautiful area and the huts especially Lovicks is next level. The Vic High Country Hut Association do a great job maintaining the huts that’s for sure. Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to watch and to drop a comment. Appreciate it.

@aguyandhistroopy No worries at all mate, its a pleasure to sit back and enjoy your vids! Cant wait to get home, crack a beer, and tune in for more! 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

@@SamsHuntandCook might have to try squeeze a beer in here one morning before drive out.

@@aguyandhistroopy 100% sounds like a plan mate 🫡👍🏻

@@duncanm6589 cheers Dunc, thanks for watching and dropping a comment. I appreciate the support for the channel mate. 👍🏼

@@darrengray2309 Hey Darren, I’m glad you’re enjoying the content. Appreciate you tuning in and also taking the time to comment 👍🏼

@@alfy1269 sunrise and the sunset were both pretty special. Thanks for watching mate. 👍🏼

@@PittwaterMowing thanks Ray, I’m glad you’re enjoying it mate. That’s what it’s all about for me. 👍🏼

@@OffroadAdventures-s3j yeah Cam … I’m pretty upmarket at the moment, I’ve gone to the next level, wasn’t sure if anyone would pick up on the red cup!! I’ve been meaning to play a bit of country in my videos, might get a bit more in the next few videos. Thanks for the support mate and appreciate you making time to drop a comment! 👍🏼

@@aguyandhistroopy red solo cup 🎶 I fill you up 🎶 let's have a party🎶 I've seen you in blue I've seen you in yellow but only red will do for this fella 🎶😄 Yeh mate nothing like some good tunes too hey 👍👍

@@aguyandhistroopy I took my wife and daughter in the ute yesterday search for snow up in the tallaganda, is not too far north from your wadbilliga an Tuross falls episode all our backyard those areas, badja mountain trig is only about 30mins drive north of Tuross falls a beaut spot up around 1370m ASL on a good day can see out to the ocean and rite the way back around to the main range in the distance 👍

@@OffroadAdventures-s3j you find any snow but ?

@@OffroadAdventures-s3j 🤣🤣👍🏼

@@Rightomate thanks mate I appreciate positive feedback. Yeah we need to get behind it a spread the word, it’s amazing how many people don’t know about it, the Vic Gov are keeping it pretty low keyed. Need to make sure we tell family and friends. Thanks for tuning in and dropping a comment mate 👍🏼

@@neil2402 no problems Neil, glad your enjoying the content. I will be definitely camping there again one day, spectacular views. Cheers for tuning in again and dropping a comment mate. 👍🏼

@@michaelnugara1 cheers Michael, yeah loved the camping spot, the views were awesome and sleeping amongst the snow gums was pretty cool. Thought I’d push my luck with a copyright strike and play some music at camp. I reckon it worked out ok.a little bit different to other channel. Cheers for watching and leaving a comment. 🍻

@@davidtorcello3765 thanks David, if you have any family and friends that live in Vic make sure you give them the heads up. We need to make sure the Vic Gov doesn’t get this over the line as I reckon other states will follow suit, and that’s all we need.

@@aguyandhistroopy Shit loads of cousins down there, I was originally from Melbourne, but I'll pass the word

@@kennethjonasson6983 thanks mate for the support. I appreciate it 👍🏼

@@jerryrubinek8905 it was actually the 7th of May 2022, just went back through my photo library. We even had snow in November that year.

@@rayjordan-hn8lf I’m down on the Snowy 2.0 at the moment on nights , -2 degrees, snowing up on the hill above us. Wish I had a fire down here. Thanks mate, appreciate you taking the time out to watch and comment. 👍🏼

@@mickrose6450 it went under @Thecraig’s comment, I responded to it. So I actually got 2 comments off you Mick !! 👍🏼🤣 Thanks mate for watching and dropping a few comments. The channel really appreciates your support.👍🏼

@@aarone8013 that’s it’s mate, I’m never in a rush. I like to immerse myself in my trips, plus I’m in an old troopy which aren’t designed for speed. 🤦🏽 Thanks for watching Aaron and taking the time to comment mate. 👍🏼

@@rodgeorge7244 I reckon you might just have to go do that Rod, be better then watching my videos, even though I do appreciate it. 👍🏼

@@mort8143 cheers Mort, it’s a great place to be up and enjoying yourself at, if you don’t enjoy yourself then you shouldn’t be doing CZcams I reckon. Yes it can be hard mate, but apart from the cramps you won’t hear me whinging much. Hard and rough. Lmao. I like that one. Anyone that rides a bike up in the high country deserves a pat on the back I reckon. I doubt I’d ever get picked up for commercial TV mate. Bit rough around the edges. You’re a bloody champion. Hope you’re well Mort. Thanks for the ongoing support. 👍🏼

@@gavinjewell5886 they best be making the most of the high country as the way it’s going at the moment the Vic Gov will have it all closed down in the decade if we don’t all stand up and put a stop to all this bullshit.

@aguyandhistroopy Hopefully that won't happen, hopefully the rally and signed petitions will help

@@gavinjewell5886 I have a funny feeling it’s a done deal, it will be apart of this 30 by 30 deal the goverment apparently signed a few years back. Vic Gov don’t give a f@&k about people that enjoy the bush as 90 percent of them probably are from the country and we know it’s all about the city folk here in Vic. Hope you’re not a city folk 🤷🏼🤦🏽

@aguyandhistroopy I lived in the country when I was younger, now working in Melbourne driving trucks, live just out of the city, the government have never cared about anyone but themselves, I do a lot of camping in the Vic High Country.

@@gavinjewell5886 so true mate, it’s a shame as Vic is a great state and it’s been run into the ground by the governments. I’ve been in Queensland for 26 years, only moved back 3 years ago to help mum due to bad health. Didn’t realise how bad of a state Vic was in. 🤦🏽

@@gavinjewell5886 yeah your right, I don’t have the best hearing, so when I was working up on the Snowy 2.0 I probably thought they said ‘Streams’ instead of Scree’s, as for the rock- boulder I think that’s close enough. 🤷🏼 Thanks for correcting me Gav and thanks for watching mate 👍🏼

Yep, and scree running is enjoyed by some. You'd need to be fit and supple. I'm 40 years too old for that now. 😀😀👍

@@mort8143 the Boulder Scree’s as I will call them now are a lot different up in the Snowy Mountains where I’m working, look a lot more volcanic, and rounder in shape then the ones on the King Billy Track. They are constantly moving, only small distances each year, we had to stabilise them with rock bolts, mesh and concrete.

@@Peanut44139 cheers max, bit involved in it, but it’s always worth it when they drop and I see all the responses from the viewers. 👍🏼 Cheers for watching and dropping a comment 🍻

@@daveroberts8347 thanks Dave. Yeah we need to spread the word regarding this proposal from the Vic Gov, I reckon they were trying to sneak it through parliament. The FB page is doing a great job to make a lot of people aware of it. But we all need to do our bit. 👍🏼

Hey mate, it’s just one of them things,I’ll try harder but you will always be commenting on this same topic if you keep watching my content. I had an uncle survive an accident in the VHC when he drove off an edge, he wasn’t wearing a seatbelt at the time and was thrown out. They say if he was wearing one he would have taken the ride the whole way down and definitely would have not survived. Anyway, I appreciate the feedback and the comment mate. Keep well.

Inertia seatbelts keep tightening up over uneven surfaces, they're a pain in the arse in that sort of country. I'll bet the 4wd wallopers don't wear them either. 😀👍

@@mort8143 yeah they can be painful when they keep pinning you into the seat. But they are there for a reason, pretty sure all the times I’m not wearing them I’m doing minimal speeds so the risk of injury is low. I’ll try to be better at this, if not I’ll Have to try employing a camera man ! 🤦🏽

Are you w woman?
