    Such a beautiful part of Australia isn't it! I've always tried to imagine what it would have been like to live in places like that back in the late 1800/early 1900 when they were first built. Would have been scary but amazing.

    Looks nice mate, curious how long you gave yourself for this trip? Weekender or a bit longer? By chance do you know if this a dog friendly trip or does it run through restricted areas? Also curious to see if you’re running a lift with bigger tyres? Cheers mate 👌🍻

    It was three days for both part 1 and 2. You could easily do it a bit longer over 4 days. I don't think you can take a dog as it's national park from memory, best to check the Vic Govt website. I'm only running a 2"lift with 32" tyres . I only scraped a couple of times when I didn't see a drop or rock sticking up. Cheers mate, get out there and enjoy the high country 👍
