HOT TO TROT...MACALISTER RIVER TRACK - VICTORIAN HIGH COUNTRY

In the heat of summer we venture along the Macalister River Track in our IVECO 4x4 ULTRA-Tourer. Although not a particularly technical track, the oppressive heat and the occasional boghole certainly test our resolve and capability. Fortunately there are ample opportunities to refresh in the mountain rivers and options at the obstacles. Of course...no shortage of great campsites to choose from along this classic High Country Track.

Another fantastic video, it’s disappointing to see how other leave the campsites for others to enjoy. I always look forward to your videos keep the good work up. Hopefully we can cross paths in the high country. Thanks again.

Another great video Paul. So nice to see our favourite places depicted so well.

We are fortunate to have access to some great places in the VIC High Country.

Nice video Mr Brooker. It’s a great little track that one, with some awesome views up near the top, but there was no diversion around the mud hole in January. We also despise grubs - keep up the good work mate, and keep calling them for what they are!

[@PaulBrookerJOURNi]

On this occasion we certainly appreciated the great swimming holes...and were glad there was a diversion around the mud...made cleaning the truck afterwards a bit easier!

One of my favourite stretches of river in the high country. I've camped adjacent to that last pool and cascade several times. Which way did you head out? Up the hill?

[@PaulBrookerJOURNi]

We returned via Black Soil Gully Track to Bullplain Road. It was too hot for the 32km Ridgeline drive along Butcher Country Track.

Awesome video Paul, great work mate keep it up! Great to see no nonsense down to earth bloke and his family. Been a few years since I was last on the Mac river tk. How’d the new tyres go?

[@PaulBrookerJOURNi]

The tyres are proving to be quite capable…hopefully they stand the test of time - unlike the previous set!

[@kenshin-1135]

What angle did you think you did there? That would have felt sketchy. did you feel it was capable of alot more?

[@PaulBrookerJOURNi]

As ‘Mum’ observed…there was barely any angle and no risk of tipping. I’m still getting used to what it feels like in the cab - particularly with the camper on. I’ve driven that bypass numerous times in different vehicles and I didn’t have the same concerns…it’s in the mind I guess 😗

[@michaelbekendam5449]

where is it buddy

[@PaulBrookerJOURNi]

Macalister River Track is north of Licola. Access via Black Soil Gully Track off Bullplain Road. Another option is to access via Butcher Country Track. There are plenty of great options in the area.

Hello.what kind of wheel on Iveco

[@PaulBrookerJOURNi]

The wheels were supplied by Expedition Vehicles Australia - I believe they had them custom made?
