Ive been hiking since April 2023 and loving it.
The reason i started doing videos was because of the first walk i did. There was no information regarding it and how difficult it was. I couldn't walk for three days after it. It was then I made up my mind to give as much information about walks as i could, from beginner to experienced, people would have an idea of what to expect.
Not sure where I will end up with these hiking videos, but should be fun showing the Aussie bush.
Ill be trying to hopefully release a video every 2 weeks.
This is my original channel, I post all the videos to www.youtube.com/@HikeingiTuP. So if you see this elsewhere its still me.

Can I ask what camera you use? good video as always, love the derg, im up in Bendigo and know tons of good old mining spots around here
@@mickyr171 I'm using a GoPro hero 7 black in 4k recording. It's an older model but does a good job. The editing software makes it look really good, I think that's the secret really. Thanks for the kind words and watching. I still have a few places in there to have a look at but I'm wandering around elsewhere for a couple of videos. I'm currently sitting in Walhalla and will be doing one of the trails around here in the next couple of days. Big storms hit here too, trees down everywhere , the exploration might be a bit of a challenge, time will tell
Nice video of Lerderderge trk , at 43.21 have you walked along the top or ridge ? Cheers
I still have to walk the third of the ridges in the area , it's on my list , just haven't been able to get there for a bit because of exploring for old flume foundations up stream. Looking back on this i think that this may well have some of that exact item when i mention the terraced area. Thanks for dropping by and commenting
About to head over and subscribe! I’m a bit behind with watching vids (life has been hectic)but I’ll get to them soon. I’ve seen a couple of interesting ones pop up here :)
@@youmeandtheGSDs hectic is good, sometimes.
Thanks for the video , yes what a beautiful spot to go to , we are very lucky !
Thanks for having a look and commenting. All my vids are now only going to be put up on www.youtube.com/@HikeingiTuP So yeah, no more new ones here. Hope your doing well.

I wonder if prospectors can still search for gold here?
There are a couple of places nearby but i don't think so.
This is in Lerderderg State Park Yeh? I used to go the the gorge all the time when I was young. A little known treasure right near melbourne. Great video
It sure is. Ive walked nearly 1800kms in there, its a cool place and always something different to see. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Found a ww1 era compass mid river near there
No way, that's amazing. I hoping to find something cool like that. I thought maybe where the flume may have crossed the river might have been a decent spot, but it was clean.
@@PlasticAssasin8 without saying too much it’s he said some decent slugs still come out of that area where the Chinese worked :) such a cool place to wander. Seen a decent herd of wild goats up an unnamed gully that flows into the lerdy was cool to see they were all different colours and very skiddish so when we are doing our usual tramp around trying to. Work out the old workings they no doubt bail usually when we are within a few hundred metres without us knowing
@@timeisnow9855 I wouldn't be surprised about that. I've often thought that there is as much there now as there was. I've seen many goats out there, some were fighting on Ah Kow, some were on a walk i did out from Bluegum, when they saw me they were off and some on an off track i did a few videos ago, but didn't get them on camera. There is actually a farm that has a paddock of them up near Loh's lane, maybe they are escapee's that have turned feral. Thanks for dropping by and commenting.
A flume is a human-made channel for water, in the form of an open declined gravity chute whose walls are raised above the surrounding terrain, in contrast to a trench or ditch. Flumes are not to be confused with aqueducts, which are built to transport water; flumes use flowing water to transport materials.
Yes, the way that the land is around there, the flume would have been built on that as a foundation
Actually, at least in Central Victoria, flumes (sometimes called flumings) certainly transported water for domestic, mining and agricultural purposes. Usually they carried water across depressions and gullies as part of much longer channel systems but flumes also carried water along embankments when the ground couldn't be excavated to create an open channel. Along some channels, metal piping on wooden trestle bridges carried the water, but along the Coliban Main Channel, between Malmsbury and Bendigo, of the 16 flumes constructed, all were wooden troughs perched on timber supports placed on granite piers. There's plenty of historic photos of them on the Victorian State Library website.
@@stevecharman8420 Thanks for stopping by. There was 150 miles of water race along the river and all over the area. However there aren't a lot of places where channels are dug in to form the race. Only places there are channels in the area is where they diverted water from the flume or troughs and went down in another direction. Flume, aqueduct, trough. There is a bit of crossover with each one. They built up from the river and 90 percent of what Ive found is flat which points to a flume, aqueduct, or trough running on it and i suspect they diverted the whole river in some points other than the tunnel to work the bedrock. I appreciate you checking it out.👍
Was the rest of the tree threshed? If so I'd say it was a deer
It had no real marks on it at all apart from being snapped, but ill definitely keep on the lookout for them now
@@PlasticAssasin8 strange to have it snapped so close to the base and not have any other marks fallow deer will thresh the whole tree as they strip the velvet of their antlers and also during the rut
@@crestcutter2729 I've done about 1800kms in Lerderderg over the last year and a bit, never seen a deer. Could have possibly been a roo honking through there
Hey mate keep up the great work just a quick question do you ever come across any deer or deer sign on your hikes in that area?
Thanks for the kind words. Only thing I've seen out there that shouldn't be there are goats. I reckon I've done over 1300kms in there and never seen any sign of deer at all. Thanks for watching
@@PlasticAssasin8 thanks for that my grandfather has a farm that backs up on the forest very close probably 10ks as the crow flys to there ive been going there since I was a kid ive seen deer 3 times in all the that time goats once pigs a few times aswell but I know there's deer getting around they just seem few and far between
@@crestcutter2729 Ill keep an eye out for them from now on
Ive always wondered what kangaroo track was like! Thanks for sharing .)
Cool, that's why I'm doing these vids. It's not a bad walk to be honest. Thanks for having a look .
Hi, Great video. I'm actually going to do this walk in a couple of days, just wondering how long it took to do the loop?
Thanks for watching, I'm happy you found it useful. I reckon it took me from 7 am to between 1030 and 11 am to walk, roughly 4 - 4.5 hours. At 28:13 in the video i looked at my clock and had been going for 2.5 hours and had 5.5 km to go. I only stopped for 15 minutes for a drink and food.
@@PlasticAssasin8 Cheers, thank you for that info, greatly appreciated
@@adamwood5293 No worries, i should have added how long it took, I've updated that in the description now, thanks for bringing it up.
All this walking, you must have legs like a mallee bull.
helps with the hills. Thanks for having a look
Really nice photos Peter. I did that walk quite a few years ago and enjoyed it.
Thanks for watching. It's the first time Ive done it, well up to Nolan's that is from Obrien's. Ive been on it from Cowan's tk to the river before. Ill be doing it again ( the whole track ), there are some things that sparked my interest along the way that i want to have a bit more of a detailed look at and possibly wont get it all done in 1 day.
@@PlasticAssasin8I look forward to those videos :)
Great video PJ, it's tough terrain in the Lerderderg.
Thanks. Yeah it certainly can be. This hike was interesting because it was only 2 km off track and i had to find another way out. I guess this was an indulgence for me, i started making the videos so beginners could see what they were in for when they wanted to go out there. Now I'm interested in seeing what is hidden in the bush out there as well, seeing the old history Like the video before it where i found the old track. So my way of thinking is that "every decent" ridge line has to have an old track on it. I am going to find out. But in between im still going to document all the "normal" tracks, i haven't even done the link tracks, bears head, long point, the spur etc , so i still have heaps to go. Thank you for watching and commenting, i appreciate it.
@@PlasticAssasin8 Yes, there's so much to explore in there its almost limitless. I've spent some time off the beaten track in there, fallen trees and thick prickly scrub make it slow going and difficult to estimate how long it takes to travel between points. Makes the Brisbane Ranges seem like a walk in the park. Really looking forward to more video's PJ, keep up the great work.
@@geoffbriggs651 Arrrgh those long prickles. I have one more "must do" ridge walk and one to go back to . I did find the track remnants in the walking the loop video but missed the turn by a tiny bit, but later on once i poured over all sorts of different sat images i found the main track, i think. I wish i could get lidar of the area. Thanks for having a look and commenting, i appreciate it.
Just subbed to ya channel, nice work mate.i live in WA now but grew up around that area, my old mazda 626 seen many of the tracks back in the 90s
Thank you, i appreciate it. Oh, it would have been great fun back then.
Wow, that looks like a pretty epic hike! Well done on making it out alive! 😂
I had every intention to set up for a while, cook some nice food, relax explore a bit, but I worked so hard to get there all i was worried about was getting out and i wasn't going out the way i came in, "get to the chopper". But gaining experience gives you , "options". It was fun though and i know not everyone will ever want or can give something like that a go and its not why i started documenting my walks but at times i don't mind pushing a bit further than normal if i can. Thanks for checking it out.
@@PlasticAssasin8 I take my hat off to you. It takes courage to go off track. I’d love to but not sure I’m brave enough.
You did really well. Over a few more overnighters in varying conditions, you'll dial in your gear and set up to suit you perfectly. Looking forward to more adventures from you!
I had way too much gear and got there later than i wanted. I do have my next one kind of planned but i think ill wait till the overnight chill disappears. That will give me time to refine my gear. Thank you so much , i really appreciate you watching and commenting.
Another great walk in the lurgle gurgle, as my daughter used to call it 😂. Live those grass trees too!
haha, lurgle gurgle, love it. I enjoyed it, finding the old road, the why's and when's of it all really gets my interest going. Thanks for having a look.😁
@@PlasticAssasin8 there’s a walk starting at the old water wheel at Chewton, that heads through the Castlemaine diggings heritage park, past some old mines, ruins of a welsh village and follows forest creek for a bit. I reckon you’d enjoy it
Hey man where is the link walking track thanks
To my knowledge there are two link tracks, 1 & 2. Link 1 starts at Grahams Dam goes up the hill to Blackwood Ranges Tk, then its roughly a 700 mtr walk to link track 2 heading Nth. Both of them link up to the main walking track that heads out from MacKenzies Flat Picnic Area.
@@PlasticAssasin8 thanks mate will check it out
@PlasticAssasin8 haha im way off o though you were in nsw lol 😆
Thanks for the great video PJ, a really useful guide to the tracks around there and nice history adds as well.
Thanks for watching. Showing whats out there terrain and history/ruins wise is great fun.
👍 Great looking camp. Congratulations on a successful debut wild camp. T.
Thanks, i am considering a couple more now. I have a couple of things possibly planned for the area.
Good job
Thanks heaps. Number 1 out of the way. I have a Hammock as well, may have to try that next time. One i have planned there will be no flat ground.
Good job! Looked like a nice spot, too
Thanks. It took a lot longer to get there than i expected ( 3 hrs) so the tent spot was a quick decision, but it worked ok. Thanks for having a look.
Great job PJ, the first of many camping trips I'm sure. Brisbane Ranges is a good choice, great scenery and quieter than a lot of places. Looks like you had perfect weather for a camping debut as well. I reckon getting the right clothing is better protection than mossie repellent and it's been so dry there aren't many around the Brisbane Ranges at the moment anyhow. Thanks very much for the video.
cheers. There was wind when i first got there and then after about 9pm, nothing, no wind, no noise, no bugs at all, almost eerie quiet in there. Now Ive learnt a few things from that, should be easier next time. Thanks for watching.
Great walk. I’ve done a couple of very similar ones that passed through Fridays, Old Mill and The Crossing. It was good to see it through someone else’s eyes. Thanks for sharing
You're welcome, always good to show whats out there. I honestly liked it, even though there wasn't a lot of what i would call interesting tracks. Sometimes its good to just cruise along.
@@PlasticAssasin8 the Ted Errey Nature Circuit is a nice hike out that way. It has a couple of really nice outlooks and loads of grass trees
Those views are worth the effort.
Its really lovely up there
Lovey part of the world. Looks like a pretty decent walk but all much the same scenery? (Aside from the Murray of course)
Was a nice walk, but 10 minutes in it became a bit boring scenery wise apart from seeing and tracking down the emu, that was so cool to see them like that. The tracks were actually well maintained roads, almost better than Victorian main roads. It's a walk Ive had in my head for months and I'm glad i did it even though i cut it short by 8kms. Thanks for watching.
@@PlasticAssasin8I still enjoyed watching. I love Murray country :)
Looks like a great hike! I wonder what the ribbons were from
I think they put the ribbons in to link up with the gully. The gully is part of the Watties gully loop that starts from Loh's lane so i guess they marked it to make a smaller loop that connects up to Hogans track. I'm intending on putting in some ribbons to link what i did up with the grass tree track on the Hogans track side of the gully in there at some stage. That will be a nice walk.
The pink ribbons are trail running course markers. Maybe Downunder 135? It likes gnarly single trail and heads right through there.
@mattsaint8226 I wasn't sure who or why. They have been there a long time as some are very faded. That would be crazy to try and run. Dudes are crazy, total respect for them. Left or right where I ended up losing them is part of a route. Thanks for watching and commenting, I appreciate it.
I think I commented on the first upload (?) but in case I didn’t, this was a great hike, thanks for sharing
I had an oopsie again with the editor, something Ive sorted now. Only two more hikes to go in this loop.
@@PlasticAssasin8 looking forward to following along :)

That was an interesting walk! I enjoyed the butterfly theory too! 😅 Have a great Christmas 🎄
I enjoyed it a lot, a bit of an off track explore is something i like doing. Have a great Christmas too
What a great track! There looked like some sneaky camp spots there too! I love grass trees. They’re quintessential Aussie bushland imo:) Thanks for sharing with us :)
Its a pleasure to share it. Its a lovely track, really enjoyable to walk along and would be a great one to walk back on rather than going back along the main access track and its part of a great loop either a long loop or shorter one. One of those little gems you sometimes find and the smell of it is amazing in the right weather. Possibly some sneaky spots to camp, although some is along a ridge line and its covered in rocks. I did a few detours to have a look and most of it is rocky. Its a great area to explore.
Thanks for the video Peter, another great walk. I was up at Lerderderg last weekend. Lovely part of the world.
Thanks . Yes its really nice up there, Plenty of walks to do around there. Ive been there since april
Great setup! Looks like a great spot to camp as well! Thanks for taking us along :) I’ve never ventured around that part of the forest, but might have to add it to my list :)
Its a pleasure. That's why Im doing this stuff, to show what is off the radar a bit. When i started in April i took a gamble of where to go. If people know what to expect they will be more likely to give it a try. It's the first time id set it up. I knew that area was there from the previous trip so i figured why not. The is a couple of better spots to the left/ Nth but no water. The road, arggh its a painful walk along the road to there, the tracks are much nicer to walk along.
@@PlasticAssasin8 that’s such a great thing to do! I always check your videos to see if you’ve recorded an area I’m going to, first. Will you be doing an overnighter around there?
I possibly will be doing one around there but i have a bit more organising to do before i make a decision on that one. I still have a few things to get first before i do an overnighter, no big deal though. (actually just ordered 1 of them) I looked everywhere for info on walking around the Mt Blackwood side and all that was out there was short little what i call, "look at me" videos with loud music and not much substance. So after my second walk i decided to document them, maybe to help someone. I have about 6 - 8 more videos at least to do in the Mt Blackwood and Pyrete range area, i haven't even been to the Antimony mine site yet and Ive been out there 5 times. What is really nice is that some people have gone out there because of a couple of these videos, both beginners and experienced.
@@PlasticAssasin8 that’s great! Well done! :)
Thanks for another great vid Peter. I sent you a message on FB too.
Bit of a false start to this one, darn thing didnt save right the first time.

Nice walk thanks for sharing
Its a pleasure, thanks for watching
Another great hike! Those open spots looked like decent camping spots too! Surprised you didn’t see any 🐍 though! Thanks for sharing :)
Only ever seen one snake so far and that was near water. Quite a few opens spots, id say locals use it from time to time. Thanks for watching.
Love your passion for exploring all the little goat tracks.
Its good to check out all the little tracks around the place. Most of the time we just go in and not explore. A road is a road is a road, its far more interesting getting onto the little trails. Thanks for watching
Looks like a great walk, PJ
Was good to see the track, thanks for sharing. Ive looked at it before but was put off by the Alltrails reviews
My pleasure. That's the aim of what I'm trying to do with these videos. Some reviews and videos ive seen either say its too hard or there isn't any info worth anything. Its a bit "off track" in a way unless you use the road shortcut/alternative i added. I went back the week after to explore and confirm that part after i saw it on the satellite maps. The only hard part really is the creek, oh and the hill before the turn off to head down to the creek from the fence line. The creek is another story. You need a lot of time and something to protect you from snakes like snake gaiters or snake boots, which Im looking at. I tried to stay out of the water and that's really the hard way of doing in. Took me almost 3 hours to get 1-2 km up the creek out of the water. But 45 minutes to get back in the water and only going on the bank when the water was too deep. Its a great walk even if you go to the creek , hop over it and have something to eat, there is a clearing there which has a HUUUGE wombat hole there.. Thanks heaps for watching😀
@@PlasticAssasin8 thanks :) I’ll add it back on my list :) I always wear gaiters, if not for snakes, but leeches too. I’m not a fan of either 😂
Looks good, thanks for the vid again.
No worries. It is a good one, well worth the walk
Thanks for the vid PJ. I'd like to join you if you're thinking of an overnight camp up there - let me know if you're ok with it please.
No worries , i have no issues with sharing a great spot once I have all my gear. Thanks for watching, I enjoyed this one , especially the off-track part. You never know what you may find. I'm hoping for that one in a million place one day.
@@PlasticAssasin8what gear are you missing? I've got spares of everything as I've been upgrading over the years.
@@nodrogguod More on deciding what to get, brand, type weight, size etc. I want it to be able to fit in a 35 L pack.
@@PlasticAssasin8 I use a nemo hornet 2p tent (about 1100 gr, a sea2Summit sleeping bag (850gr) a Sea2summit mat (700gr), and carry it in an osprey 55 litre pack (1400 gr). My base weight (without food , fuel or water) is around 6.5kg. I could pack it down into a smaller pack but I have my pack set up that is comfortable for me. I also carry a PLB and GPS, and Sawyer water filter. I used to go for ultralight but as I'm fitter now, and a bit older and wiser, I choose to handle a few extra grams, and I include comfort in my planning. There's so much gear out there I think it's hard to know what suits, and I've made some expensive mistakes in buying over the last 10 years. I've bought about 5 tents, a hammock, a few packs, a couple of sleeping bags, gave most of it away whenI moved down to Vic. Good luck!
@@nodrogguod I have a Hornet nemo elite 2 person, haven't decided on the other stuff yet.
Looks like a great hike. Love the camp-spot. Looking forward to seeing your overnighter
It is really easy hike to the grass trees. I still have a couple of things to get before I do an overnighter
I went and had a look this morning. I reckon my knees and legs will be cooked for a while after that steep descent and climb back out though 😂. Beautiful area amongst the grass trees. Thanks for sharing it. I reckon I’ll head back to camp there as well. . I thought I’d try and bush bash my way 500m to bluegum and save having to go back down and up the hill, but got horribly lost! Did you find your way through or did you end up like me, going back down the hill?
@@youmeandtheGSDs That's great that you went and had a look. That hill is a bit of a bugger, that's for sure. I didn't try to head to Blue Gum, it wasn't in the plan on the day. I think i may try get through , ill just pop a route on Gaia and follow it, it does seem to have 2 small gullies between the trees and Blue Gum though. It cant be any harder than the off track i did in this video anyway. This may seem strange, but i enjoy going up the steep hills these days.😵💫
Another nice walk in the Lerderderg! Glad you have gaitors now, the 🐍 are out in force!
Yeah was out on Friday and one raced away from me, cheeky little fella he was.
i jumped in the creek near bowraville and a 7 ft red bellied black snake jumped in to the other side = i was out so quickly - grabbed a large branch and tossed it into the creek - the snake went straight to it and climbed all over it ! 1985 .
damn things
Well done Peter, always enjoy your vids.
I appreciate it. I have a couple of interesting explores ready to go.
