A friend has called to come for a weekend camp near Noojee.
Just want to see if anyone knows if any good tracks to try out there.
PM me if you don't want it public.

Edit.

Check your inbox mate, few tracks there that should test you all out if that's what you are after.

Not sure on experience, let say experienced beginners (like me)!!!!!!!!!! Or would that be intermediate.
We'll be going in Sept 12-14.
As for bog holes, I'll do like I did at Tallarook and go around the deep or soft ones and checking them all before considering the route.

Wow, don't think some them are for us, by us I mean me, lol.
I'll check the maps and see where they are.
Most of us would be on 33's only.
I like no damage or pin striping tracks but I do challenge myself and vehicle.
I'm on 33's BFG KM2 with a 2" lift. http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/images/imported/2015/08/33.jpg

Ah ok. The two climbs behind the DSE are nice wide tracks, if it's not too wet, they are a great bit of fun, and aren't really rutted. The best bit is, the big hill's are more or less at the start of the tracks, so if you have a crack and it's too hard, not far to go back.

Also, did hawthorn creek bridge a few weeks ago, was a good fun track, good combo of mud/rut driving, and some technical sections. On 35's, didn't need to winch, my friend on 33's needed a snatch once. Few other sections he needed a few cracks at/some guidance through but we got him through and it was good fun.

So I asked about meeting place and they said why what's going on. Oh sorry can't make it I'm busy.
So now I have a weekend free to go driving, with nobody to go.

It seems the original organiser is now coming again.
But he now tells me he has never been there.

Anyone got tracks I should in Walhalla.
Deep track was one but which one. 1, 2, 3 or 4.

Not sure what's open at the moment, so check the Parks website.

Deep Creek 1 is good fun, good chance of winching so every vehicle should have a winch for this track (especially this time of year). There's a steep, off camber section that seems to catch a lot of people out. Walk up and take a look first, from what I've heard, this section has claimed many cars.

I haven't done Deep Creek 4, but have heard it's pretty good. There's one really steep section that has also claimed a few cars, but from what I've been told there is a chicken track around it.

Army Trk is pretty good, as is Flat Tk. Fulton's should be good too, but mind the river crossing, might be deep with all the recent rain.

Sorry can't be more accurate with open/closes and don't have first hand knowledge of DC4.

Plenty there to keep you entertained, but wouldn't be doing DC1 or DC4 without well equipped vehicles with winches this time of year.

Nice work on the photos Mego, looks good. What was wrong with the lc - alternator or charging issues?

With only two cars was not enough time to take photos.
