I managed to catch up with ScottyBobcat yesterday, together with our wife's and 1 kid each ...
It started out as a glorious day (damm, where was that rain that was supposed to be around).
We met at Healesville and commenced our day at 9am from the local Tourist centre, with Scott and I getting the local Rooftops map for the area. I'm not going to bore you with all the trips specifics and which tracks we went on - but i'll give you an indication only.
We took off for Toolangi initially, but not on the main road - Scott new of some dirt roads to the west of the main road, so thats the initial route we took. All of the side tracks that Scotty wanted to show me where closed, so it did not take too long to get to Toolani. Went to the local pub and got fresh coffees for the adults, and toilet stop for the kids. (oh, and some of the adults too).
Took of in a south east direction and did not take long for Scott to find that track that stuffed his back up - but this time we were safe doing it on 4 wheels, instead of his previous attempt at 2 wheels.
Well, a very nice track indeed. Had some steep sections. Had some wet sections. Had some boggy sections. Scott managed to get his high powered D22 stuck a couple of times. He had to winch himself out of trouble the first time. I had the wonderful priviledge to drag him out the second time (go the D40's ... lol)
here are some piccy's that my wife took.
(later on, Scotty and i will post up some video's taken as well)
Scott upfront leading the way:
a different perspective - this is JUSt before he got stuck the first time ...
