    I've always tried to imagine what it would have been like to live in places like that back in the late 1800/early 1900 when they were first built. Would have been scary but amazing.

    Nice. Can’t help but hear all the squeaks your car makes (I have just redone all my linkage bushings so am paranoid thus my ear is tuned to it). Hadn’t heard of the diesel alpine additive before. Have lived in Canada and Alaska and they don’t use it at -20/-60C

      haha yeah, I run every time I got to get the camera or pick it up...keeps me fit. I didn't have a winch at the time. Luckily I didn't need it, although the route I took wasn't extreme 4X4ing. I have bought one now, more to follow ;) Cheers.

    Looks nice mate, curious how long you gave yourself for this trip? Weekender or a bit longer? By chance do you know if this a dog friendly trip or does it run through restricted areas?
    Also curious to see if you’re running a lift with bigger tyres? Cheers mate 👌🍻

    • @OverlandUnknown
      @OverlandUnknown  2 года назад +2

      It was three days for both part 1 and 2. You could easily do it a bit longer over 4 days. I don't think you can take a dog as it's national park from memory, best to check the Vic Govt website.
      I'm only running a 2"lift with 32" tyres . I only scraped a couple of times when I didn't see a drop or rock sticking up. Cheers mate, get out there and enjoy the high country 👍
