- What an awesome trip!!
Mick and Jason start off in Licola and head into Horseyard flat where they go for a 3km Hike to First Falls, an epic waterfall!
They head upto Mt Wellington but are forced to turn around due to weather.
They hike into Guys Hut, Conglomerate Falls and Pieman Falls…. Incredible!!
Dave meets up with them, they set up camp by Lovicks Hut and cook the most delicious roast lamb in the camp oven!
You won’t wanna miss this, Tune in now!
Brother West this was a special one. Sooo special to have Brother D & little Blair Bear come up for the night after a big drive. We slowed everything down… Put our hiking boots on and really connected with some magnificent backcountry magic. The next adventure cant come soon enough 💚💚🤠🤠
How good was it mate, need a bit more of this and poking our noses 👃 into those places most don't make the effort to get in to. So untouched 👏
@@4x4brothers absolutely!! We’ve been talking about it for years 💚💚💚💚
need more racins on trip BTW 🙂
@@racinsadventures597 absolutely loved it, more is needed
@@sterling_garden_services haha thanks legend 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 wayyyy too kind. My brothers and I have been chasing the magic for yearssss together…. This one was a little more in my lane haha…. Slowing it down and chasing a little more of the incredible history & culture that’s so rich in our awe inspiring High country 💚💚💚🤠🤠🤠
Hoooooley doooooley that was something special boys! The magic is real! 💙🔱💙
How insane are some of those little gems tucked away out there. Definitely worth the effort to get out to them all 👏
You know it bro, thanks for taking the time to watch… a special adventure that one for sooo many reasons 💚💚💚💚
There is nothing quite like the Victorian High Country in the late spring and early summer, I have great memories of the epic two and three day trail rides we did way back in the late 70's. Hope this country stays open for ever.
It’s unreal isn’t it. Very lucky to have it on our doorstep
Doing it on horseback would actually be an unreal way to see it there is some great trails the cattlemen pushed in
great vid guys, will def be checking out these places! :D
Cheers mate, some unreal places to visit
Ive seen a few posts in facebook groups explaining king billy, and most say it is a basalt block stream that was laid down during volcanic activity in the Aust alps and dates back to the last ice age somewhere in the Pleistocene (>10,000yrs ago). Ice flow broke up the basalt and as the climate warmed up during the Holocene Age, the sediments/smaller material were washed away to the lower lands
That seems to be the most popular theory volcanic/earthquake causing it. Bloody impressive how it all comes about
That on king billy is called the rock rivers , it’s volcanic, first big one you come to there is a big Boulder in the middle and there use to be a tree growing out of a crack in it , have ran a dozer all the way down king billy a few years ago , great country
so much ❤for this trip, im one of those guys who rarely gets out for the 3hour walk, but next time ill be doing it for sure. epic video brothers
Such a huge reward at the end of it mate, be sure to do it as it's worth every bit of those 3 hrs
Great stuff boys loved it.
Cheers mate, some cracking sights to see out there hey
Great vid guys, there's just so much to see in the high country. Keeps you coming back for more. 👍
Cheers mate, it’s endless isn’t it
We have been going up since we were kids and barely scratched the surface
Enjoyed it 👍
You’re correct, those rocks on King Billy are quite bizarre. Would luv to know the age of them
Look forward to your next upload
Cheers
Thanks mate, they sure are. Think they will go as one of those un answered mysteries of the high country
Awesome upload as always legends! It just goes to show, that by seeing the High country out of a 4x4 is a small portion of what's really out there to be seen on foot.
Just curious, what track were you on, at the boulder fields? You mentioned King Billy. I remember Tim Bates talking about them rocks once. Would love to go for a scope next time I'm out that way. Cheers!
There is so much up there to see its incredible. Adding in the 4wding and its a playground for all hey.
All the things you need to get to on foot are so pristine also cause the dick heads don't get out there which is a bonus too.
Yeah that track was king Billy track. Starts not far after howitt hut on the howitt Plains Rd and links over to the Mansfield way. Nice little drive
👏👏 Well done. The falls are so beautiful. Your roast lamb looked delish. ⛺️
Epic waterfalls aren't they, well worth the effort to get into them. The roast tasted as good as it looked 😋
Awesome video guys , looked like a fantastic trip. Good too see Racin there as well. Keep the great content coming
Thanks mate, sure was a cracking trip. Racin is the man you want up there when doing all the epic sights he absolutely loves it.
Hanging to get back out there already
6 minutes into your video and I’m already planning my next trip! Spectacular stuff! 😮 😍
Ah cheers mate, these spots are all well worth a visit and the effort to get there on foot
great vid guys - we were on King Billy last week and went past those rocks
another guy we were up there with was there with a geologist last year the rocks are result of an earthquake thousands of years ago and fell down the mountain to where they are today
amazing place
How good is that drive along King Billy
Must have been 1 all mighty quake to move all those rocks. So impressive. Would be great to have a chat with the geologist
Damn Boys! What a run, truly spectacular. The arch n water fall was so beautiful. Very well done.
Thanks mate, some absolute gems if you make it over here to get In and check out
@@4x4brothers The content just gets me obsessing. Bit of time to put in yet but we can see the light. Thanks for the inspiration.
@@mikemorgan4670 start the countdown timer
@@4x4brothers You get it Brother. Soon enough.....but
Ripper trip and video.. with all the tracks/roads see any major issues taking a off road camper trailer?
Cheers mate, was a cracker trip this.
You would tow a camper no worries at all around those tracks to see all this. Even in the wet wouldn't be a drama as there is nothing to hard or steep.
Always enjoy your vids....did the waterfall walk last year and nearly got pegged by a fiesty tiger snake laying on track between falls..would have been interesting 😬....
Came through King Billy track a few weeks back and was also intrigued by the mountain side of rocks..hope someone has some answers..
Those bloody tigers, I had one go at the wife when we walked the prom missed her by millimetres some how so lucky. They angry buggers.
The consensus seems to be volcanic/ice age origin of all that which makes it even more impressive
Bloody awesome once again fella's 👏 you're content and footage gets better every time. I'm hoping one day i get the chance to explore the VHC like you blokes 🍻😉
Ah thanks mate that's much appreciated that comment. We are just trying to learn and better each one we do.
There is so much to see down here put it on the list and get down and explore
@@4x4brothers welcome guy's 😉 once life gets back to some kind of normal for me it will be game on 💪🤙🍻
@@bradsmith19793 bloody oth mate its gotta be done. Medicine for the soul out there
We want to come down from Qld with an off road hybrid and a couple of wild dogs to enjoy this epic area! Thanks !
Be well worth the trip down mate, your gonna love it
Awesome video guys I see you round must be local to me.
I frequent the VHC but generally solo mid week.
How many days would you recommend for this exact trip again going on the hikes, taking it slow...
Cheers
Cheers mate yeah we are officer and langwarrin
Mid weeks definitely the time to head up there hey get it majority to your self. 3 full days but if you can squeeze a extra night in and do 3 nights you would be laughing
@4x4 Brothers we're in Kilsyth/Emerald.
Definitely mid week is awesome, the joys of being self employed.
Don't always have the pebbles to go to all the spots I want solo vehicle but it never disappoints
@@JL_86 that’s it better to play it safe solo save those fun ones for when you’ve got a mate who can make it along with ya
Great drone work. Was it hard to get a permit for the National park?
Thanks mate awesome perspective isn't it. You just need to hold a drone licence to be able to get a permit
@@4x4brothers Thanks, I heard they made it really difficult, you almost had to be another Man from Snowy production, which is why I asked. Good to know.
@@deejay3218 for personal use mate if your not being intrusive to anyone no ones really going to mind if you throw it up for a few snaps so wouldn't stress to much there
@@4x4brothers Have you met the Ranger there? Nice bloke - not, CASA fine is $1100 per infringement but you have done it by the book, so neither of us is stressed, I was just curious anyway. All good
@@deejay3218 it's unfortunate it's come to this whole permit system. I guess it's the minority who have a few incidents and ruin it for the majority who are respectful and abide by the rules and common sense hey
Another great video, guys. Keep them coming. Hope to catch you guys soon at the upcoming camp 🍺
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed this one. Stunning landscape. Looking forward to that weekend should be a beauty 🍻
