After a different campground at Lake Mountain, we packed up and rolled down the hill, keen to find a nice campground on a creek, and Big River State Forest Camping was the most likely option without driving a huge number of kilometres. Where is Big River State Forest? The Big River State Forest is about…
We’ve camped in some pretty random places over the years, and when Sarah suggested we spend a night at the top of a mountain, right next to an Alpine Resort, I wasn’t sure how to react. We decided to check it out anyway, and spent the night in a car park at Lake Mountain, after…
Victoria is well known for being a great place to test your 4WD out, and one of the more well known locations is Cobaw State Forest. We headed there after two awesome nights at Amblers Crossing Campground in Lerderderg State Park in search of some more bush camping and 4WD tracks. Where is Cobaw State…
After a couple of magic nights at Amblers Crossing in Lerderderg State Park, we were keen to move, and find somewhere with decent internet reception to arrange accommodation for the upcoming long weekend. We knew leaving it too late would mean struggling to find a place to stay, and so a plan was hatched to…
The Lerderderg State Park was a destination of choice for us, to explore some of the great 4WD tracks in the area, and it doesn’t lack options! After deciding against camping at Lederderg Campground and heading to Amblers Crossing instead, we set up and had a pretty cruisy afternoon. The next morning though, we hit…
There’s a heap of 4WD tracks near Melbourne, and we’re starting to tick them off as we travel around on our Lap of Australia. After an eventful day where we lost 3 annexe poles, we rolled into Fridays Campground in the Brisbane Ranges, just in time for it to start raining. The next day though,…
The Great Otways National Park surprised us on so many levels. From stunning rainforests, incredible free camping and 4WD tracks galore, you really can’t go wrong. To finish our Great Ocean Road trip, we based ourselves in Hammonds Road North Campground for 3 nights, with the idea of exploring the Anglesea 4WD tracks. There’s a…
The Great Ocean Road is one of the most incredible parts of Australia, and to see it properly you need to stop in a few different places. We were keen on doing this, except that the prices being charged by many of the accommodation options are nothing short of ludicrous, until we stumbled across Princetown…
Victoria is one of the most well known states in the country for 4WD tracks, and we’re on a mission to do as many of them as possible. Having grown up and done hundreds of WA 4WD tracks, before moving to the South Australia 4WD tracks, its time to continue in Victoria. Without further ado,…

We’re always on the lookout for great places to camp, and Lake Mombeong wasn’t a place that we expected to be anything overly exciting, but we were wrong again, and I love it when that happens. We’d booked a night in to have a guaranteed spot to stay on Australia Day, and I was genuinely…
