Mt. Bogong - the second* highest mountain in Australia, via the 4WD shortcut!

In this video, we climb Mt. Bogong, the highest mountain in Victoria and the second highest* mountain in Australia. But we do it with a bit of a tricky 4WD shortcut via Granite Flat Spur, which has the highest trailhead of any route up the mountain, resulting in the shortest walk to the summit.
*: But isn't that Mt. Townsend? We need to talk about prominence, and how maybe... the entire Kosciuszko Range could be argued to only be a single mountain.
After that, a quick talk about the State 8, what it is, and our current progress in it - and what will be required to progress further.

Thanks for the comment, glad you like it! I've got more videos coming, I have a huge amount of footage to sort through and edit... I've just been busy actually doing stuff :)

I might've paused at 2:07 to check out your snack drawer :P Tiny teddies are a good choice!

Being about as unplanned as the rest of the trip, the strategy may have been just "wander down the aisle and grab what looks good" :)

[@robzyb]

Sometimes that strategy reveals the truest truths...

Well that's a bit of a shortcut! Want to activate Mt Bogong for SOTA, but the 2WD option is a bit more of an effort

[@DropTableAdventures]

Yeah, it does shave a fair bit off the distance! If it wasn't blowing with too much wind to hear anything, we'd have tried to make a contact like we did from the top of Kosciuszko...

hike it, get some exercise its good for you

[@Zamiele]

Nice, but your graphic at 7:30'ish shows Mt Bartle Frere in Tassy :P

[@DropTableAdventures]

Gah! Well spotted! Copy/paste/forget-to-change strikes again! That is, of course, Queensland's entry in the State 8! I even know it from the road sign trivia!

[@benjaminnicholson2442]

Not the second highest mountain in Australia just as a fact check that goes to Mt Townsend in NSW. In fact it's not even third or fourth.

[@DropTableAdventures]

It's a bit of clickbait - watch the video to see how I justify the claim, I do have an argument as to how that doesn't count (hint: prominance) :)
