Is Murchison Look out basically the corner of Strath creek and Horans Track
37º 14' 48.48" S 145º 10' 11.11" E

Haven't been up there in years!
Yeh Andy, i think we will be airing down on the corner of Horans track and Broadford - flower dale rd
Yeah Andy that is the spot... you will be coming from the east I gather so when you reach the top of the tight winding uphill climb you pull into the left just as you come over the rise.
Those coming from the west need to turn right into the look out just before the tight winding road down hill.
I so wish I had received and fitted my locker?? there are some tracks there that are animals in the wet.... Bills track is easy it just has lots of deep puddy muddles to play in, right Drew/Rossco/Jim..
Rossco only got stuck because he's a yuppie, Andy mate you'd eat that track up trust me, go on give it a GO!Quote:

Looks like a good crew going and you can do the harder stuff with the recent rain I should have waited a week to do the chop nice amount of rain in the last 24 hours have a good trip
Can't wait ppl it's been raining in Doreen pretty much all last night and most of the morn. Hope you all have gum boots and waiders.

You say we could meet up on the Hume a but earlier than 9. Where would this be? Maybe a servo along the way from Melbourne?
Not stopping along the Hume as it means to many pit stops for a trip that is only 40min up the road... As mentioned I am leaving Thomastown at 8am, if you wanted to meet anywhere it would be at the Broadford turn off at about 8.45am otherwise it is the look out at 9am.
If you get there early (at the look out) start airing down... start with 22psi but I bet the pressures will need to come lower than that by the look of all this rain.
I'm 100% in. Seeyas there !!!
It has not stopped raining all day. It's going to be the muddiest slipperiest and slow going day tomorrow....can't wait!!!
Mate was in Talla today. Hes a crazy relentless mofo and doesn't generally let the impossible stop him. But after last nights deluge and todays on and off rain, even he called it quits after midday. Was apparently way too sloppy, and would have been crazy to keep going. Yeh, he sounded like a pussy, but to me if he says it's too slippy, then its too slippy!
Hope you blokes have fun out there, wish my rig was kitted out enough to come along. Maybe next time!
Edit: Thought I'd mention he drives a Toyo lux
That comment changes everything...lol.Quote:

Have fun boys, I would come but it's a bit far for a day trip.
If you're happy and you know it tap a post!
Booooooo!!!!!!Quote:

Hope all goes well. have a great day.

Care should be taken as this is first rain for a long time, especially going down the big hill to the dam,
All the dust from over summer is now quicksand lying in the gutters.
going down, low/low, lock everything and take your time, has been known to spin around a 4x4 in the blink of an eye.
Other than that do bogholes if thats your thing, can never get sick of rebuild threads lol.
Most of the really good tracks have been blocked with felled trees by the powers that be, but great area to learn, plus close to Melb as well
We camped at the bottom of that track to the dam last time. I am not sure that track should even be attempted today! That will be Slick and Fast without wheel ruts for safety.Quote:

Used to go every weekend, now its fishing 5-6 times a year. First thing in morning fine, then just waiting game for back to fail usually 9.30 ish doing nothing.
So 4x4ing would make it fail earlier, not fun driving at that stage, No dramas been going that area since mid 70s on motorbikes
i think most of us who know you personally john no what your condition is aboutQuote:
