Need more VHC episodes. Glasshouse, Coffs Harbour, Tassie and the Cape have been done to death. You guys haven't even scratched the surface of the mighty Vic High Country.
It's awesome you guys preach trail, track and campsite conservation and preservation. Whenever I would go camping as a kid in scouts or just my family we would always clean up trash, even if it wasn't ours. Its awesome they preach it
@@COSHAM77 ... including in a tassie vid a dicksonia they cut off at the base and left lying on the side of the track. Gives us a bad name that! How do I know it was them? Well they said no one had been down the track in months, the amount of tree clearing on the track showed same, and the trunk and fresh green crown of the tree fern lying parallel with the track off to the side and the stump was fresh. Shits me this sort of thing.
Some of those hill climbs make me really homesick for the coast. South western BC has, in my opinion, the best wheeling in Canada. You boys are really helping keep my love of root & rock alive, thank you!
At the first water crossing, why go so needlessly hard and push a huge tide up the exit making it progressively wetter and slipperier for those following. I was taught to stop when you can and let the vehicle drain to protect the exit. There was room on that crossing to do that.
lol 19:41 "im not using the break at all" with the brake lights clearly on. No need to over sell the auto, im sure even a manual would need some brake going down there especially if its a got patrol gearing
27:28 - "And that's where owning a 4WD is such a bloody privilege" - those used to be my exact sentiments many years ago when I was active as a member of a Landrover Owners Club. In those days I was single and it was well before RU-vid and even modern digital cameras. I have vivid recollections of feeling privileged to see some remote parts of my own country but also tinged with sadness at the thought I wasn't able to share it with a wife or kids etc. Sure there were other club members but... I'm sure most know what I mean! Times sure are different in that people can see some of this stuff online now!
Heath Wells, mate I know exactly what you mean, I’m 69 now when I was 21 I owned a Land Rover swb, canvas top, and nothing stopped it, Sydney to mount isa.....tenant creek, Gregory downs, Bush desert you name it, my regret is we never took photos of our trips, or very few that have been lost over the years, a lot of country we covered was just with a mate and myself, no radio contact, no gps, but what fun, hell I wish I could do it all again.
I really wish I could get an 90's diesel Hilux crew cab here in the states. If money was not an issue, The list of 4×'s that I want from Australia, or the world market is insane ! Would rather have one of many rigs you guys have then an exotic car.

I camped at woods point and 4wd for a day and a half in the time I saw 2 cars roll, that’s how steep it is. Going up into the high county it had been snowing for quite a while and it was a truly spectacular view of the mountains.
2 years ago around this time I arrived in Woods Point thinking I can fill up at the petrol station. It was early Sunday morning and nobody was around, not even at the pub. Had to keep driving and arrived in Marysville on fumes, was very lucky.
At least you can roll down the hill for the last 15-20kays. Two years ago on a 40deg day I got the worst brake fade I ever had one afternoon going down that hill in a 40 series Troopy - and it has discs. Being a typical mechanic I think the last time I changed the brake fluid was about 20 years ago. It took from Marysville to Buxton to get the heat out of them LOL. I changed it now and all's good again (for another 20 years).
@@ThePaulv12 Yeah I got brake fade on this trip as well, in a 1997 TJ Wrangler. The auto gear box + 33" tires made it very hard on the brakes on that mountainous road between Eildon and Jamieson. I just pulled up at a river and splashed water on them (was a complete noob at the time) then they worked again..
Gotta admit the D-max and the overhead canopy linked to the truck is just grand. Super cheap and easy setup, dry access to truck cabin, plenty of space. I'm sold. Looks much cooler than a seperate setup and you don't have to get a 2k tent to mount it on the truck.
Such sweet country! It's very similar to our Rocky Mtns here in Alberta & BC & just some of the most stunning views like ya'll have there. Excellent trip guys, thanks for sharing it.
Hi guys, I'm from Sri Lanka.. I watched your all episodes in 4WD Action.. I love it awesome.. I like Nissan Gq Y60 :D its like a devil :D I'm video editor, but I like Offroad driving... You camera production is 100 % wow... I really enjoy it, Thank you.
hello from the U.S love the videos been waiting on a new one make more i love them. ya'lls videos are the only offf rd videos i watch. keep up the good work
Some great locations and action, LOVED to see graham giving so good photo tips, one of the best 4x4 action vids on the list. Entertaining and educational, well done.
Nice trip, but hardly would call Mt Margaret Track the steepest in Oz. It's become a pretty easy track these days, like many they chop out a lot of the fun bits although when it's real dry they break up or wet like you had they're a way more challenging beast. Love your camera work & good points about looking after the bush & all the special places our rigs give us access to. Keep up the good work fellas.
I felt as if I was there with you. Great job on the film crew. I wish I could join you guys but living in the USA makes it a bit difficult. Thank god for video.
the best part of the videos is Shaun cooking....that is hilarious man, keep up the good work guys, im watching!! ps: the 4wdinving is good too....hahhaha
Graham I have to know if you as a little kid watched the leyland brothers documentaries that they did back in the 70s. They popped up on my you tube things that I might like and they are kinda grainy but the information is priceless they provide. I absolutely love the cape York trip they took and when they traversed they Jardin and the way they did it was mind blowing. They had there infant kids along with them too truly amazing film.
Even tho I live in Finland and don't own a 4x4 (atleast not at the moment, but I do have my eyes set on one), I do enjoy the vids. Great work and huge thanks for sharing them!
again, awesome. I'd love to subscribe to the magazine, but I don't think you deliver to the UK! so tempted to export my truck to oz - just to live that dream!
Loved this video, like all the others I imagine. I would have liked to see more of the first vehicle, but I figure the obstacles weren't much of a challenge for it. Keep em' comin.
we would use to rulers or tape measure to measure the pitch of a roof the same concept would work with meter sticks and hills. ours is out 12inches and down to the roof so it would read 12 x 8 or so . dependant on steepness and that would give us a better idea of how steep the hill actually is.
