Exploring The Vic High Country - [ 4x4 Tracks From Jamieson ] 

Love the Victorian high country

I use to do this sort of stuff around Barrington Tops and Gloucester in the NSW Hunter region. Had an old 2A Land-rover LWB with a Falcon motor and auto box. Big Sunraysia Rims and tyres that would tramline like crazy on hotmix. If I slipped into a rut on a track I would just have to run with it. No way of getting out. Memories !!

Love your videos and your Patrol ...... keep them coming

great stuff Tim, planning a trip same area after anzac day

Love the Vic high county camp cooking segments. Always producing great content legend. 👌🏽👌🏽

Bloody ripper track and episode Tim, I've done the other end Sheep yard flat and 8 mile flat mate, then headed up to the hut and back tracks. Just bloody love it mate. Especially mid week when no buggers around lol. Keep em coming cobber. Cheers Moose.

Tim you definitely know your way around mate unbelievable country 👌🏼🇦🇺👍🏽🍻

Great spot that you camped at Tim.. Steep country..

just have to get down and check this place out - great video Tim

I remember being dragged around that area in a VW bus with my family in the early 70's when i was about 7 or 8. We went to Mt Buffalo and there were no fences or safety stuff, just remember jumping a huge crevass somewhere to get to a dangerous lookout point.I'll br there as soon as I can, despite having lived in Oz several times since then, the nearest I managed was Mt Dandenong!.

Good drive young felah,we did those tracks not long ago,we come from the back of Jamison via School Hill Trk to get to Mitchells,there was one hill that was a bit tricky and some of the crew had to detour along Brosnans Trk to get to Mitchells. Some good Trks in that area,the wet weather would definitely make you rethink doing some of them Trks.

Lovely Tim the old pooroll got a workout on this one Cobba.

Great video Tim! I drove that Three Chain/Dungeon Gully Track (9:00 to 14:15) about 12 months ago in the reverse direction to you. Damn steep track for a relatively stock 79 series and I was glad it was dry. I had both lockers in and a death grip on the steering wheel. The kids loved it but Mrs wasn't impressed...

Great video mate. Had not heard about three chains track before. Looks fun in the dry like you said.

Gave up any plans to do this trip in my Subaru Forester in the first 60 seconds. :)

Perhaps your mate wanted a piece of lamb? Haha

Nice. I haven't done Stony Creek Tk Yet. It gets straight into it off the bitumen It looks. I see jiminy got a free ride haha. Some good driving there mate. Another great video spot on!

Gday mate. Hell man , that's my normal Sunday afternoon drive. Give us some rough stuff. Seriously mate though, a brilliant episode. Just a quick question, what's the brand of your swag?. You might have already mentioned this in a previous episode, but being a newish subber, it's possible I've missed it. Whatever the brand, it'll be interesting to see if we can get here in Nz. Take care and atb for 2021.

Great part of the High country mate ! Never been to Running Creek camp site, great to see, as will make an effort to stay there as i like going to Skipworth reserve passed Kevington . As usual thanks for the great content mate . Cheers.

Nice one mate, hoping to get up that way this year. Looking forward to some new videos mate, think I’ve nearly watched them all! ( enjoy going back through them too. 👍🍻

Hi Tim, did I see correctly, you ate roast lamb and left your mate with rotten old snags .... for dinner !! I had ideas of proposing marriage to you so you could cook for me.soz mate the engagement is off before it starts. Ha ha cheers Grant

Great vid again mate. Do oyu know where it got the name Three Chain Track, because it looks like it struggles to be a one chain track. Certainly wasnt three chains wide anywhere along the video! :-)

Absolutely love this area now, im hooked on the Victorian high country and the tracks and scenery , nicely done Tim 😁👍🏼

Hey mate just wondering what size lift you got on your patrol ?

Need some advice: bought a 2009 Patrol auto DX done 100k - with zero driver aid. I just want to do what you do Tim when I get time and holiday in the near future and basically travel to some of the destinations outback including the Flinders. The problem is I have NO idea about anything mechanical and I found out just a simple few mods heading to $10-15K! What's more confusing is suspension upgrade- myriads around and the most obvious choice ARB/TJM got horrible reviews online. Fulcrum has a 2inch lift kit wonder if this is all I need and currently it has a cheap set of Chinese AT Ecolander tyres on 16 inch steel wheels which I hope to replace with MT71 Kumho. So what suspension upgrade can I do and is it best to buy tyres later after that? I have to do as a salami tactics coz had to pay $27000 incl on road. I am in Lismore area Northern NSW.

Beautiful part of Australia. Thanks for the great video mate. She got abit of a work out. ❤🇦🇺🍺👍

Nice video Tim. Any chance you could do a video with tracks you recommend for us beginners ?

What tyre pressure you're running mate ?

Onya Batesy loved it mate. Lots of ideas 👍

Great area Tim looks like fun Are those tracks doable from geelong leaving Friday night getting back at around 4pm on the Sunday I'm not familiar with the area so not sure We will have a prado with 2" lift and a navara with 2" lift and a winch will they be ok on those tracks Thanks in advance

Was in that area for the 1st time last week. Came from Craig’s hut headed east of Mt Buller along Bluff link, Refrigerator Gap, Nobs tk, Mt Sunday rd. Great 2 days. Some beautiful scenery. 👍

Hey Tim. Love your videos, just a "normal" bloke getting out bush for a weekend away. Question: when you crossed the river at about 6 minutes in to get to camp, how did you know you could cross it without checking the depth? Just experience? I'm always nervous crossing rivers even shallow (30cm or less) ones 🤦‍♂️

What sort of goose leaves a dead windsceen or anything else beside a bush track??!

Bit like gods country up there not to far from me wgl cheers

Awesome drive. Could you please in the future add a list of the track you covered in the video. So many amazing places to see here in our own back yard

Timbo cant believe we are 1.36 minutes in and not a cracking past your lips. i would love to know some of the tach stuff like tyre pressure etc s you do these tracks

One of the first here. Looking forward to this ! Cheers Tim .

Wow shake ,rattle and roll.

Whats the Deal about the High country? Is it a one week adventure or two weeks? How much time do you recommend to do the whole lot?

Great video again 🏕🔥

Hey Tim!

Hey Tim have got GPS co-ords for that camp ground mate looks mint

What’s the run down into Mitchell’s campground like using Mitchell’s track.. I’ve wanted to head into before but maps & google earth don’t really give an idea on how steep the decent is

Great tracks buddy, lov your piece of the country, lov to do your tag alongs but not much chance being as I’m in WA, I’ll live u through utube, take care bro 👍👍👍

Hi Tim,those tracks are bit rougher than some you’ve been on lately.Nice camp site by the River again.Plenty of practice with your camp oven,such a great piece of gear aren’t they.I love cooking with the ones I have,always trying new stuff. See you next time🙂

Hi Tim, Paul here again from UK, another great vid and I was going to ask you if you ever do any of the more gnarley tracks that I see other Aussie guys do, well this has just answered my question perfectly. I would like to see the winch come out next! Lol Take care and keep 'em coming. Regards Paul

Another great vid Tim, thanks mate. Does the patrol handle much differently now you have reduced a fair bit of weight? Especially around the steep country? Cheers mate. 🍺

Hey Tim, was that Mansfield/Woods point rd that you turned off at the start of Stoney Creek ? Looks awesome, thinking of going that way in a few days . Keep up the great work mate 👍

Hey Tim just noticed that you don’t use to many bash plates under the rig. Is that because of your lift

Hi Tim - this brought back some memories driving around here a couple of weekends before Christmas last year. I'm wondering if you included the loop of Three Chain Link as part of the Three Chain Track drive? 👍

Hey mate. Did you remove the sliders as part of the recent weight reduction?

Hello mate! it was good to meet you last weekend up at Pinnacles - From the "South Africans"!

Great video. . Tracks added to my bucket list! 😊 . . . I think Steve needs a Suspension upgrade to get up over those Go-pro's! 😁

Love 3 chain! First 4wd track I ever done. Stock Ranger in the other direction (was grateful to finish it, certainly was not prepared for it)

Good call to cross the river to camp. Looks a busy place (Running Creek).

Great video Tim. Good to see you in your element. 'That was close'. But what followed was closer. I love these videos and keep up the good drives.

Another great vid Tim your camera angles really shows how the Patrol has to work in that country if you can’t get there your filming puts you in the drivers seat as driving there is sometimes better than the destination Well done again Tim

Hi Tim, would a 2006 Hilux with 2 inch lift, 30 inch AT's and no lockers do the tracks or would you suggest to forget it?

Lovin your vids Tim. You got cameras everywhere on your vehicle 😁

My favorite place to go fwdriving and also has a cracking pub :)

Nicely done Tim: it is good to see ,that you keep everything simple , the way it should be in the bush

G’day Tim,some very nice tracks around Jamieson.I’ve been thinking about getting reduction gears for my GU TD6 wagon for some time.I’m running 33’s and the big wagon tends to want to run away a little in the steep stuff.I haven’t fitted a locker either as yet.Any thoughts/tips would be appreciated.Thanks for all your great video presentations.Cheers, Rob.

Awesome country, I used to camp around Alexandra,

looks like some nice tracks! as always good video mate! yall stay safe.

How is the patrol going since dropping all of that weight in the rear?

Awesome trip Tim. Did you use 4L or 4H at 10:46 mate?

Gee that brought back some memories.. travelled that area a lot in the late 70's early 80's in an old Subaru and petrol Hilux...fishing the Jamieson River and Howqua R valley's. Rarely saw other campers...too many at Running Creek these days...

Another great vid Tim mate,look forward to the next

I missed doing all of this track the first one is amazing to do. It's always busy at running creek just amazing spot. I've caught countless of trout in that river. The Camara work you put into this trip is really amazing top stuff..

Hey tim! I'm curious after the tracks, you started heading towards Running Creek camp.....did you inflate your tyres or leave them at off road pressures?

Once again another outstanding video there tim thankyou, by the way the patrol is looking great too you have really done a top job building it to your needs. Even though im not from your beautiful country i really enjoy seeing the country you live in you's are very lucky to have such a range of places to go and get away to thanks again. Anton.

Awesome video again Batesy, I just came back from a sneaky 3 night trip to sheepyard flats with my wife & daughter.

Looked like a good trip. Cheers Tim.

That was close alright 😬🤣🤣🤣

“Now that, was close” 😆

geebus Tim, you almost would've had to fork out for a new camera

Bloody hell, look out Gordon Ramsey.

Really love the gu patrol,cheers

That looks pretty nice there Tim

Hi Tim - great video. What condition is the three chains track in? Would it be okay to tackle this track if it's wet? Thinking of heading up next weekend with a 200 and ranger

Hey Tim, great video again. Have you got a video that goes from Grannies Flat to Fry’s Flat? I did it years ago and am going to do it again in a couple of weeks but I can’t remember what tracks it was. I’m thinking it is Mitchell’s track and Burke bridge Rd out of Grannies, do you have info you can share. Thanks mate 🍻🔥

Nice one Timmy

Cheers Tim
