Taking On Steep 4WD Tracks In The WALHALLA Area.

The 4WD tracks around the Walhalla area are very challenging, so make sure you are up for it as a driver and you know what your 4WD can do in this kind of terrain.
The Vic High Country 4x4 tracks are very steep, and some of the steepest tracks in Australia.
Walhalla has a lot steep 4x4 off road tracks.
The Walhalla area has a lot of fun 4x4 tracks to drive. As long as you have a well set up 4WD to handle the extreme action you might face, and you as the driver have a fair amount of 4x4 off road driving experience in steep country.
The amount of long, steep 4x4 tracks in the Vic High Country is just one of the things i like about getting out on the tracks in my well set up GU Nissan Patrol.
The steep 4x4 tracks in the Walhalla area, need to be treated with a great deal of respect.
Research the tracks that you plan to drive, and know where you are going.
The 4x4 tracks in this part of the Vic High Country are very steep, and it's not a matter of when you will find a steep nasty track, it's when.
So, when that happens, you had better make sure you are up for it.

Love this area and your videos. I go there as often as I can to pan for gold and you are absolutely right about being prepared. Last time I went down a track I haven't been down before by accident and it is pretty scary when you on your own with no winch. The track was getting narrower and narrower but I had to keep going as there was no way I could turn around. When I got close to the river I have met few guys winching up the hill and got few perplexed looks because I was in my Grand Cherokee and they had their jacked up 80s and Patrols. They couldn't believe I went down that track and neither could I. It was great fun and I hope I will meet you one day in the high country. Keep those videos coming.

Did an easy drive across the dam, down Merringtons and out through Toombon a couple of weeks ago (had her ladyship along, so no Flats Track, haha). On the return passed some cattle droving and when we stopped at the dam to pump tyres up, the car smelled like, well, shit. So I crossed the river on Beardmores, over and back, to wash it clean. Pity you didn't do Beardmores up to Walhalla Rd - the river has water unlike most of the streams. Bit surprising, since it hasn't been that dry up there. Fulton's not as gnarly as last time we drove it, won't take too long for the IFS/traction control vehicles to tear it up again. Walhalla is my favourite area, and it's easy reach from SE suburbs.

Gr8 vid mate - as per usual. If you saw another convoy coming the opposite way on some of those steep, single lane tracks - what is the etiquette? Who yields for whom? People going up, or people coming down?
@timbates4wdadventures
@timbates4wdadventures 4 года назад
G'day Dave, If another group comes the other way, it's generally those coming down have right of way, because it is harder to reverse back up a steep track, than reverse back down for those coming coming up. But, having said that, it doesn't always work out as simple as that. Sometimes, it's just one of those things you work out at the time, and make the best and safest decision. Thanks for your feedback mate. Cheers Tim.

Nice. My brother and bil want to take me up through the Vic high country but I'm guessing it will be a while as I am from SA and you guys still seem to be having problems with the plague. They have had plenty of experience but I am still a bit of a newbie. My vehicle seems capable so it will be a matter of giving it a go. Hopefully start on some of the easier tracks and see how it goes from there. Thanks for the video.

G'day mate, Yeah, things are ramping up again down here with this damn virus. Top idea going with others that have a bit more off road experience, specially if you are fairly new to four wheel driving. Start slow mate and work up over time. Thanks for your reply mate. Cheers Tim.

@@timbates4wdadventures Yeah all mine and my wife's family are from Melbourne so I feel for you guys. Hopefully it will all be under control soon and things can start getting back to normal. I work on the theory of "better a live mouse than a dead lion" so I have done a course and am doing a bit more as I can. My bil scared the beejezus out of me when my vehicle was bog stock on a hill that some others drove away from. Did it easy so with the mods I have now I am certain I will give up before it does. Love your laid back approach and that you don't go for all the wheelspinning, bouncing bs that other guys seem to be into. Cheers.

G'day mate, I've only ever had manual. I much rather the manual, they hold better going down hills than an auto will. End of the day, it's a personal choice you will need to make. Do you want to change gears or just sit back and let the auto do it. Manual all the way for me. Thanks for your reply. Cheers Tim

Car coming down a hill gives way to car coming up, on flat tracks than whoever has the best spot to pull to the side. Common sense and being courteous goes a long way.
@timbates4wdadventures
@timbates4wdadventures 4 года назад
G'day mate, I thought i replied to this a few days ago, but looks like it didn't come through. Generally those coming down a hill have the right of way. It's harder for a 4WD coming down a hill to reverse back up if needed. But, having said that it doesn't always work like that. You are best to just make it up at the time. Sometimes on tight steep tracks like the time you mentioned in the video. Get out of your 4WD and go and have a chat with the group coming towards you, then make up a plan. Thanks for asking mate. Cheers Tim.

Interesting Tim that you say the car coming down hill has right of way due to being harder to reverse uphill... When I was in the Wagga 4wd club back in 1978-79 doing a lot of trips to the Dargo high plains and surrounding areas we always instilled in members to give way to the vehicle coming up hill as it is much harder to get going uphill again if stopped. The car coming down hill can generally see a car coming uphill easier and can pull off to the side to let the uphill car pass without stopping and then easily get going again as facing downhill.
