I went 2days early for our last trip up to Licola over the long w/end just gone I got the spot we wanted
but glad I did it was car after car thinking it would be vacant ,but the traffic going up the top towards Howit hut was like the Monash
on Monday mornings the biggest lot I counted was 15 in one go

I know .... it was like Burke St through Butcher Country .. never seen so many fourbees

Apparently, one went off a cliff .... a whole heap bogged up the top end of Caledonia River Track ... it was a mess, and lucky we didn't meet anyone coming the other way at the wrong moments on Butcher Link or Dingo Hill

A black discovery fell over coming down Dingo and came out on the back of a MB Unimog Saturday. I had the misfortune of being with a group that wanted to camp at the intersection of Howitt High Plains Rd and Dingo Hill TK - could not believe it, but they would not be swayed - they 'liked to be around people'??????. Well I reckon 300 4wd's screamed past from 11am Friday to 4am, then it started again at 6am Saturday. I stopped counting at 100 vehicles the number that headed down Dingo Hill Tk. I peeled out of there at 8am Sunday - couldn't take any more of it. Great bunch of guys, but crap campsite knowledge. Great food, brilliant weather, good company, just the wrong weekend and the wrong campsite.

Couldn't think of a worse place to camp on a long weekend. I am an average guy, and maybe my sense of what is right or wrong has changed now that I have a learner driver in the car with me, but we had a 100 series and Pajero, with no sense of road positioning try to take two of our learners off the road at once. One of my mates had to grab the steering wheel in fear, and I just basically shut my eyes and hoped for the best as we headed through the edge of a spoon drain ......
the speed some guys seem to want to travel at on the Tamboritha Rd .... it would have sounded like you were camped on a freeway.

Would have been a little colder up the top too. There was still a whole bunch up there on Monday when we came through which may have been your crew ....

We had a great weekend, and the track conditions were as challenging as I can recall them on Butcher Link and Dingo ... I would not have liked to see someone having to reverse back down in a couple of the trickier spots, but luckily we didn't have to.

The black Disco could have been us at one stage, when I was trying to teach my daughter about gearing and engine braking whilst going downhill - she tried her first fairly steep short downhill section whilst ignoring my instruction and left her foot on the clutch the whole way down ... was a little bit of a heart stopping moment for me till I realized what she was doing

Coming home on Sunday morning, I was cruising down the high plains road at maybe 50klm/hr, and a young buck in a hilux, red P plate, roared past me in the gravel and stones and disappeared into the distance. I got up to the next corner and there was a great big long seat of fresh skid marks where he had overshot the apex. He was nowhere to be seen, but maybe in the bushes clearing his pants I reckon - just crazy speed.

Still remember my driver training days when the instructor drilled it into us that the left foot would be the one to kill you and by that if you took the vehicle out of gear by depressing the clutch you were essentially in the hands of the gods - never forgot that. The Disco was saved from being totally pancaked by a set of home made drawers in the back that kept the roof up it looked. Still it was a write off for sure and unfortunately he was from the ACT or at least the car was registered there, so a long way home.

Amen to that... I sure get fired up pretty quick when it happens.
In the theory phase I threaten to beat 'em to death with the Learners Manual if they do it.
If they do it during an assessment phase they get an instant 'not yet competent'.
If they do it when operational and I see it (or even worse I am in the vehicle then I treat it as attempted murder suicide) I pull their competency until they pass a V.O.C.

Trying to see the light at the end of this never ending tunnel in regards to our council notice and the $5100 worth of work that has to be done is proving to be impossible. I have spoken with VCAT, numerous lawyers, our conveyencer, who now refuses to take my calls, and their (the vendors)conveyencer who are now doing the same, and not one person is willing to help. This is so bloody frustrating! I can see this fucking asshole who sold us the house will again win and walk away without paying a cent. Why is this issue something that no one wants to touch? Its simple in my eyes. The vendor did the wrong this by not disclosing the council notice prior to auction. Therefor he's in the wrong, he needs to pay.

Who is responsible for the building/energy and pest inspection in Vic?
Either way it should come back on the conveyancer IMO, they farked up by the sounds of it.
Don't think the vendor is responsible

Vendor is responsible. He should have said something to their estate agent but chose not too. The agent and conveyencer wouldn't have know anything about it. Its not mandatory to get building inspections done pre purchase, we did however get one done, we knew of some of the issues that council have raised, but it is beside the point. Council have gone through and want everything to have a gutters and storm water connection. Even the lean too on the granny flat which is barely 1.5m wide by 1m long. Water barely drips of it when it rains its that small.
I can see us losing this, even though we shouldn't, so I guess we'll just be ripping the roof off the carport, the pergola and the lean too and just fix the bare essentials. As we simply dont have this kind of coin to get this stuff done.
