Headed up to Wonnangatta, for a Troopcarriers Of Australia gathering, a late change of mind left me traveling to Licola, to Arbuckle Junction ( didn't see Greg Lynn in my travels... but he was caught 2 days later ) then on to Howitts Hut and down Zeka Spur Track to Wonnangatta Station.
There were some 19 Troopys with many coming from a far to join in. most had been there since Thursday. A great night was had by all.

Love it. Oh the fun I had when younger, 4wding, having a traveller, or 6, camping, exploring, and just enjoying the silence. Lucky you. Way to go digger.😊

Hi Gav can't believe it was watching this as you said about the two people that were murdered and that day was the first day of the trial . I love that valley and yes I do know the history. I've read a book about the two guys and the theories behind what happened back in the early 1900s

I reckon it would be a good read. I should probably do a lot more reading on the topic, my knowledge is pretty limited on the old Wonnangatta murders.

G'day mate, this is crazy. The news was on and mum said I've had enough of it so I said all right. Let's watch our favourite. I turned on this episode and you explained how it was when the guy was caught for allegedly killing in the valley the same time the news dispersed the original jury for the case

Did the crosscut saw circuit Walk 30 years ago on the fourth day came out to the zika track. Couldn't find the track back to our car and would you believe it? There was a guy coming along the track in a troopy picked us up and took us to our car

Hey Joel, sorry mate I can’t remember now it was a while ago. It looks good from far but far from good. Its a shocking fit, can’t put the pinch weld on it as it sticks out to far. Very disappointed in it, spoke to the suppliers and they said ot should for a troopy. Got sick of arguing about it. 🤦🏽 If you ever find a good one for a troopy send me the link !! 👍🏼

Just stumbled across your channel now mate. First video I have seen of yours and really enjoyed your laid back yet fairly informative approach to the content. I feel after watching that video it would give people a fairly good idea weather or not they could drive that section and it was easy to follow the tracks with the places your stopped and names you mentioned of each junction. Bloody great content mate.

Prior to what happened with that unfortunate couple at Wonnangatta, I’d never heard of that place. I’m guessing now that we’re free again, that area will become infinitely more popular. I’d heard of Dargo & other popular towns around the great alpine area. I haven’t been touring for very long, mostly north eastern areas. New subscriber.

Cheers for the Sub mate. I reckon the high country will be more traveled now since this covid has happened… people staying closer to home, but don’t let that stop you from coming over this way. It’s an amazing place, plenty of options-places to go remote, or you can go to the places frequently visited by most people… either way, you will be exploring for years. Hope to see you over here one day soon Cheers

Yeah, not what I was expecting, but the added a heap of switchbacks that cut out a lot of the steep section, you can see the old track in places. But it’s a good track to a awesome area!

Hey Stackner, it’s basic, a couple of fittings from Bunnings, consisting of an elbow male to female with a tap and some clear hose. Nothing special that’s for sure.

I'm due for a new set, just trying to get through to winter and will grab some MT's. tossing up whether to go 35's? what's your thoughts on tyre brands?

@aguyandhistroopy 2 жыл бұрын
I realize this. But it’s ok to have firearms in at Wonnangatta and to be able to hunt but not fly a drone? It’s definitely not the first drone to be flown in there and put onto a KZbin video.
@mountainconstructions
@mountainconstructions 2 жыл бұрын
Well, CASA would have to also pick the 1000s that fly them along the Great Ocean Rd, 12 Aposotles, over Whales breaching etc etc.... It's a bit like the days on mp3 downloading, legal action was futile. Funny how CFA and Parks Vic use drones.... Couldn't think of a safer place the middle of bum fark... Then again, the world is full of Mrs Mangle type people
@aguyandhistroopy
@aguyandhistroopy 2 жыл бұрын
My thoughts totally. I will pick and choose where I fly the drone, obviously some locations I won’t fly it due to respect to the indigenous or environmentally sensitive areas.
