Some camp sites have good views. Some have absolutely insane views, and Sarah and I have been keen to camp somewhere high up for a long time. The thing is though, you’ve got to get it right; the weather has to be suitable with minimal wind, and you have to be confident your kids are…
The Victorian High Country will forever be one of my favourite places in Australia, and it doesn’t take too long for those visiting to realise why. On our second visit to this absolute paradise, we were on the hunt for somewhere to base ourselves to do three well known 4WD tracks in the area, that…
We’re generally pretty cautious taking roads that involve big mountains without some sort of feedback from locals, and we were only mildly confident that the Dargo High Plains Road would suit our setup. In this post though, we’re sharing our thoughts on the road, after doing it in a 2016 Isuzu Dmax and 2.3 tonne…
There’s more 4WD tracks in the Victorian High Country than you could explore in months full time, but some tracks are certainly better known than others. Perhaps the most iconic, and well known 4WD track in the Victorian High Country is the Blue Rag Range Track, and it does not disappoint in any possible way….
Want a stunning 4WD track that crosses a beautiful river 24 times in just under 8km? The Crooked River Track is very well known in the Victorian High Country, and is a truly ripper 4WD track. We did it whilst staying at Talbotville, and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. This track has something for everyone; its…
There’s quite literally hundreds of 4WD tracks in the Victorian High Country, and it would take you months to do them all. There are two that are probably best known, and in this post we’re checking one of them out; Billy Goats Bluff 4WD track. Where is Billy Goats Bluff 4WD Track? This iconic 4WD…
The Victorian High Country is a place that I will never, ever forget. It’s stunning beyond belief, with huge mountains, crystal clear creeks and views that etch themselves into your memory for life. The problem with those huge mountains though, is you have to navigate over, or around them, and if you’re towing anything that…
After another amazing stint in the Victorian High Country, we rolled into Omeo, which is a stunning part of the world. We’d considered staying at the Omeo Caravan Park, and it looked amazing, but after getting quoted $52 a night for our family, we decided to move on, and found another free camp not far…
The Victorian High Country has more camp sites than you could explore in months, and on our second stint there, we were much more relaxed about finding a perfect camp site. So much so, that we called through two other camp sites that were reasonable but not nearly as good as what we’d learnt to…
After a big day in Traralgon, we were keen to head towards the Victorian High Country. We’d had new tyres fitted, filled up with water, done the shopping and a few other bits and pieces, and it was getting on in the day. As usual, Sarah pulled up the goods by picking out The Quarry…
In 18 months on the road, we’ve camped at all sorts of places, ranging from stunning national parks through to bitumen car parks, the occasional caravan park and a number of shire run campgrounds. Our most recent stay was at a place called Meeniyan Reserve, and it’s a beautiful, quiet country town that is surprisingly…
We love a good free camp, and whilst heading down the coastline in the bottom corner of Australia, we stumbled across a fantastic beach camping option called McGaurans Beach. This quietly surprised us, and we spent two nights just hanging around and enjoying the beach. It’s unique in a number of ways, and a truly…
