Tallarook State Forest - Mountain Track - Mount Hickey

[@giorg-b182]

Bloody awesome track I rode up it and went back down by the road last week.

[@OffTheBeatenPathAus]

would be fun on a bike for sure!

[@Brad_hj2tuff]

Wet weather makes mountain track alot more interesting very greasy

[@OffTheBeatenPathAus]

Definitely would. Conditions on the day are everything. On this trip we did west falls road, and it was dry, took 3 minutes, previously did it when wet, took 2 hours of winching....

@@OffTheBeatenPathAus done alot of exploring out at tallarook over summer, we t back over easter much more fun!

[@OffTheBeatenPathAus]

@@Brad_hj2tuff would have been a bit of rain over the easter break. I'm keen to get back there as well! 🙂

[@OffTheBeatenPathAus]

Glad it was helpful!!

[@terrybarbie5207]

Thanks OTBP - I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the trip.

[@OffTheBeatenPathAus]

Was a great day out, exploring parts of Tallarook State Forest, still have the video from Nov to finish as well! Thx for watching!

[@markmcarthur4353]

youve finally done one Ive already done lol

[@OffTheBeatenPathAus]

had to happen eventually!

[@matthewlewington2470]

Thanks!

[@OffTheBeatenPathAus]

No problem!

[@maxxfx4767]

Nice vid mate, I'm often out in Tallarook, so hit me up if you're heading out again, always good to have some company!

[@OffTheBeatenPathAus]

Thx will keep that in mind. Tallarook's not that close to us so don't get down there a lot. Keen to go back again though!

[@thamalratnayake7892]

Great content! Any other tracks similar to this difficulty around there? Thanks mate

[@OffTheBeatenPathAus]

The very next track we did was similar, down the other side from the tower at the top here. Take Mt Hickey Rd and then Turn Right onto Rocky Track. WIll get a video on that one up as soon as I can edit it

[@hamza1418]

Hey mate for a track like this do you lower your psi? and if so to what pressure? just a newbie to 4x4 curious

[@OffTheBeatenPathAus]

With the Paj, and the tyres I had on it, 25PSI was my go to for most tracks. Generally only went lower if it was very muddy or soft sand. Hope that helps!

[@milkjojo]

Would a hilux with 31.5 tyres make it pass this track ?

[@OffTheBeatenPathAus]

It was a couple of years ago now we filmed that, assuming it hasn't changed markedly yes you'd have no issues! Just don't hit phone track (right near it).

[@moahmedhaouli9799]

Hey mate, did you need diff locks?

[@OffTheBeatenPathAus]

For mountain track, no I don't think you do. It's pretty easy. Would be a bit slippery at the moment with the rain we've had but not what I'd call difficult. Troopy Matt who was with me did not have difflocks in his troopy and I didn't use my rear I had in the Paj.
