Victorian High Country's Hardest track!? I regretted this! Barkley River Jeep Track Australia

[@emu4wd]

This is where a front locker would really help. Steve 🇦🇺

[@Handleyman]

Agreed!

[@onix5060]

Yup

[@d3athscyth]

And a bit less tyre pressure

[@TylerThompson90]

15PSI was tyre pressure, any lower on a track like this without bead locks and getting fairly risky of tearing tyres off beads

[@d3athscyth]

@@trickster8635 had one in mine for 14 years, still has the 23yo factory cv’s....not the locker, its the driver

[@chasp_0784]

Round of applause for those front cv’s

[@barryhughes5082]

Nice wheeling in the high country amazing what you can do with a winch and no front lockers. An old post but great 4wd only with tracks drive and recovery. Helps everyone and keeps our tracks open. See you around one day and safe wheeeling.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate!

[@misdamagoo213]

Paying The Price ......... hard yards on vehicles & people. The decisions to take Tracks we always initially regret but the same ones we always have great memories of. Great stuff Tyler!

[@grahameroberts8109]

The experts always come out but haven’t done the same track. Tyler and MalaKAI made it! If you have the equipment you use it. On that note, it was lucky you had some help. Viewers should heed Tyler’s words. They were NOT prepared for the wind chill weather in that terrain. That said, the footage was priceless even though Kai expressed some displeasure. Lol. Great images taken by him too. Well done to both of you to endure those conditions for our viewing pleasure. Much better than those beer guzzling other guys! Cheers. 👍🏻🙏🏽🙏🏽😷😷🦘🦘

[@AustralianImage]

Many years ago we camped at the base of the Barkley River Jeep track (I think it was snowing as well), but the track was way overgrown, so much so that even a Suzuki would have received some serious bush pinstripes. Unfortunately we didn't do the track as we had to leave and were also taking home a couple of very weary bushwalkers who had given up their mission.

[@bossjohnson678]

Man you got to get yourself a front locker, so many times you had one front spinning & if the other had drive could have avoided a winch or two. Love the vids man

[@Handleyman]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@slackstringlvr]

When it looks steep in the video you know it's proper steep! 🤟

[@stildsadventures25]

Thanks so much Tyler. Have been waiting to see this episode. A gutsy hard track. Well driven and filmed! Great work, mate.

[@TylerThompson90]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Nissan Navara for sale, Going cheap and Never been off road!!!! Lmao..... Great video again mate.

[@Metal_Lifer]

Somehow I don't think he will ever sell that one

[@primodelgado443]

I am glad I've chosen the Navara ... you make me proud to own one! You have proven how Navara is very capable off road car/ute!

[@einfelder8262]

Next time go in summer, haha. Then all you have to look out for is fire....... The High Country never stops giving, no matter when you go. That's why it's probably the best 4WD destination in Aus.

[@TylerThompson90]

Sure is amazing!

[@aslkdfjhg]

Mansfield/Jamieson is such a beautiful place to drive/hike. As a former local my advice for anybody doing it is to bring a paper 4wd map or off-road nav. Google maps will not tell you the terrain and not all tracks are suitable in wet conditions. Also , bring a beanie, and bring gloves. Believe me changing a tire on a track with freezing hands is not fun.

[@TJANDMAC]

Just some casual touring footage hahaha wow pretty hectic mate ! Definitely could of used a front locker for this episode ;)

[@TylerThompson90]

Another relaxing day touring the Victorian High Country 😬😂

Just finished watching every single video in your channel. Took me few weeks.... very impressive work! It’s motivated me to go out more often with my son. Awesome memories for Kai👍

Yep,pretty hectic and switchbacks like only the Vic high country does best! Well driven and great support crew!

Cheers mate!

[@Malc664]

That looks steep even on camera. Your Nav did really well climbin up there. As I watch I'm wondering what a front diff locker sets you back for the Nav.

[@mrtriton5405]

Man your intros get me so hyped!!! 👌

[@DavidJohnson-cr5lq]

To give you an idea of how beaten up the Barkly River track is, I used it a lot in my (then new) bog standard 1976 Nissan Patrol with Roadtrak Major tyres on highway pressures. I remember the only issues was wheel travel on the switchbacks. It went to hell once it got some publicity.

[@56JimboSlice]

Nice series mate. Good job

[@samcurrie969]

I don't know if anyone else saw that, but at about 4.18 there was a log stuck under Tyler's truck which moved itself, mental

[@blacktopimages]

The track looks extreme, and amazing. Good work! I was sure you were going to snap a CV!

[@TylerThompson90]

The Nissan really performs well. I'm surprised that you didn't break something on that track. Can't wait to hear Dads comments after his first trip with the rear locker in the MUX Cheers.

Another great episode , Also You liking the manual mate ? If you had a choice again would you have gone a auto instead ?

[@steiny3353]

Aaron Game I'd like to hear the answer to that question too, Aaron. I've got a 2020 LTZ collie, auto, and I love it. You just seem to have a more sensitive control, somehow. are you auto or manual ?

[@Ga7cun7sSUCK]

Im running an auto after having manuel 4x4s my whole life, when i got the new hilux i got the auto because of my knee getting a bit old driving in traffic when im home. I find the auto off road to be far superior in every way over a manuel, concerning steep rocky terrain, the only negative is you need some extra power to full send through bog where as in a manuel you can really send it off the line in a bog hole. But with a tune or turbo upgrade on a new auto you won't have that problem. Ill never own a manuel car again.

[@ryantilley-general.shenanigans]

The auto would be the pick in my opinion.

[@alanfiddick1887]

I would prefer a manual going down a hill

[@steiny3353]

@@Ga7cun7sSUCK Yeah. I'm 74 and the old bod can't do the things it used to do, so I will never own a manual again either.

Great job again Tyler, awesome video. Shame it's the last in this VHC series!!! That track broke many peoples hearts. I know people that camped ON the track overnight because they were that stranded.

[@robertmillar2037]

Tyler at about 1.40 in where is that campsite exactly ? It looks epic? Could you put more detail on your vids as to where your campsites are or ones you note as good?

[@AustralianImage]

That looked like the Sisters where the Macalister and Caledonia rivers join. Though it looks way different to what it was like when I was there last. Will know in a couple of weeks time as we'll be back there on a three day trip.

[@twiggys4x4touring]

Definitely the junction of Caledonia/Macalister rivers north of Licola.

[@robertmillar2037]

@@AustralianImage is there only camping on the rocks on the river ? Or is there any grass area ?

[@AustralianImage]

@@robertmillar2037 Tyler appeared to choose a spot on the other side of the first Macalister River crossing. When you get to the bottom of the Macalister River/Black Soil Gully track, if you turn right, there's a large(ish) dirt campsite just around the corner and before you get to the Sisters. There are number of campsites along the Macalister before you either take the Butcher Country Track (seven river crossings) or go onwards to Grimme Creek track (10 river crossings). There's not much after the Butcher Country turnoff, but there's an OK campsite at this spot and a very nice waterfall and swimming hole a short walk away.
