BILLY GOATS BLUFF TRACK - This is nuts!

My shattered nerves, this week we drive the iconic 4x4 track in the high country and that is billy goats bluff track. The track is very steep with only one area to turn around.
We had this track in mind to do but we did not want to do it on our own and fortunately we met some amazing people which turned out to be our followers that invited us to join them to do billy goats bluff track.
Well we are so glad we did as when we did it we looked at each other and said "there is no way we would have done this on our own"
We did the billy goats bluff track there and back which means we went up and we came down the track. What an achievement and also the experience we got we are very thankful.

[@grahamwhittaker8844]

I’m glad you took us with you,there’s no way in hell I’ll be going anywhere near that track. I blame Sue for a lack of adequate adult supervision 😂😂 at least you earned your beers that’s for sure 👍👍👏👏👏👁️👁️😎😇🐕‍🦺

[@suelandolt6840]

😂😂😂 100% I was not in the car supervising!

[@justvanningit]

Thank you. Yea it was a white knuckle day that's for sure

[@jebw]

Deryck your Landcruiser is just so capable. Cape York was also a demonstration of how good it is. Relax, enjoy the ride.

[@suelandolt6840]

Thanksnso mixh, yes it is a superb vehicle and we are loving it. The more we do the more we realise how capable it is!

[@murchison18a]

Hey guys, what is the brand of that frypan with the detachable handle? Nice job on the track. See you out there :-)

[@TECAdventures]

I did Billy Goats today from start to finish in 2 wheel drive. I don’t see what the fuss is all about !

[@suelandolt6840]

Great job, that's amazing!

[@petearvo]

A motor bike? 😂

[@janiceatkinson5112]

It is beautiful country around Dargo. Well done Deryck and Sue. A little more 4WD experience under the belt. Have a great week.

[@justvanningit]

Thank you. It's a very beautiful place. Would love to spend more time there at some stage

[@suelandolt6840]

Thanks Janice! The high country is so green and beautiful! We enjoyed it irrelative of the rain.

[@melanierumball7312]

Thanks for sharing your travels. Could you please share the brand of pan you used to cook the taco mince on the Weber? Looked like a great feed.

[@suelandolt6840]

Hi, it's the Weber frying pan and it is fabulous. We have the casserolendish as well!

[@justvanningit]

Thank you. Its the weber casserole dish with lid

[@kempseyadventures7277]

The retune - so what were the HP and the Torque values that you got after the re-tune?

[@suelandolt6840]

Will ask Geryck to share, he forgot to put the details up!

[@Phil_McAvity]

I did Billy Goats 3 or 4 years ago, there was a guy in a white Cruiser towing a trailer. He turned around at the heli-pad after 3 hours of winching. He completely wrecked his tyres from all the wheel spinning on the sharp rocks to the point where he’d had to go to the nearest tyre place to get new ones, they were just a mess. I couldn’t believe it haha.

[@justvanningit]

I recon it would be a totally different track in the wet. I could see us sliding around etc. Im sure a small camper would do it

[@HXCsparky]

Was awesome to meet you guys and had a great time conquering Billy goats with you!

[@suelandolt6840]

You too mate! Thanks so much for helping us both ways. Couldn't have done it without you guys!

[@Accolades70]

What happened to the DMAX ??

[@ZoneRV]

Awesome footage guys, BGB looks like an epic track, what an achievement! 🙌

[@suelandolt6840]

Thanks so much guys! It was an awesome experience!

[@australianoverlanders4688]

Great video, We are heading to Dargo in a weeks time from Canberra. Would you recommend the road from Albury direction or Bairnsdale towing the van.

[@suelandolt6840]

Hey guys that's awesome news! We haven't done the road from Albury but did the one from Bairnesdale with no issues. Safe travels and hope you enjoy!

[@australianoverlanders4688]

That is great and enjoy your travels

[@sudarshankc2066]

Do you think automatic 4wd can climb the hill? And how much air should be in tires before getting started???? Reply please

[@mrandmrsmeier8685]

I’ve got two words… HOLLY HECK Guys our hearts were racing with you. That section so narrow and nothing either side of you. That was steep!!!! What a thrill to have completed that track. Wozer Going back down looked worse 😮 Enjoyed so much guys 🙏🏻🤩💯❤️❤️

[@justvanningit]

Thank you. It was definitely a white knuckle day 😆. In the end we had so much fun and made new friends which is always the best

[@suelandolt6840]

😂😂😂 thanksnguys, the footage doesn't do it justice! It was incredible! Thank heavens we met the lovely people who did it with us. Wouldn't have had the guts to do it alone!

[@geoffbognar9364]

Did it in a stock paj, good steep track, go into Wonnangatta station and all around, do Mount Margaret track

[@suelandolt6840]

Ahaha yes Robyn! It was absolutely terrifying to me as I have quite high anxiety levels! But it was well worthwhile and we enjoyed it! Thanks so much for you support and hope you have an amazing week ahead!

We did this track last year at Easter, we had never done anything like it and luckily we had some experienced 4x4 friends who had and showed us the way. Our spare wheel came off just as we’re leaving the helipad, luckier had a great da6 weather wise and got a terrific view at the pinnacles. Derrick you did a great job conquering this iconic track. 😊

[@justvanningit]

Thank you so much. We will have to do it again on a better day 🙌🏻

[@turtletrackstravels]

Wow! That looked so steep…. Denise would be shitting herself if we did this…. Which we’re hoping to lol 😂

It is steep but its doable to be honest especially if its dry
