Hi guys,
Just checking to see if anyone is up for a medium trip to Toolangi/Wombat/Big River or something this Monday or Tuesday??
Not looking for the hard stuff or break things, just a good day trip with enough action to stay on your toes but come home in 1 piece. Please no newbies or stock vehicles. Good AT's on 32" minimum and a lift would be good. Must carry recovery gear and UHF. Not overly familiar in either of these areas (only easier tracks in Big River) so any local knowledge would be good.
Shoot some ideas across if you have them!

Went to wombat today, it was a good day out, we were forced to find some new tracks as some of the main roads were closed today for rally cars.

Keen to do a trip Monday, happy to show you round wombat a bit or I'd prefer to check out, kinglake/toolangi.....
Don't know the area well but that has never stopped me yet!
Let's get lost up there?????

Toolangi it is! (and maybe into Murrindindi?)

Yeah, I have a map too.... Doesn't Nick (with the red/bordeaux/maroon/whatever-shade-of-red) Colorado live around there? Might be able to trick him into leading.... Just so I have someone to sue if I break something....

Did a few tracks there ages ago, but no idea which ones.....

Shame its not on a tuesday; bloody work :p ! For a fun trip but requires more agressive at's or muddues i would have a look at cockpit trk off yea link road ( havent been up this year but is a slippery hill) then straight onto blowhard trk. Also take a look at lyndells trk (nice bouncy track not suitable for any stock vechiles) this leads onto the start of aeroplane downhill! Or if your game after blowhard backtrack to the base of aeroplane and have a go going uphill!
Luke crk no. 2 is abit of fun but take the chicken trk around the bog hole as its deep! Luke crk no.1 is fairly easy and leads onto downies spur trk which is clay based and fun; thrre is one bit of mud you must go through but its solid based and base of the rim deep! After this its leads onto rocky trk which ends on the melba hwy :)
The rooftop map is great for this area!
