Hi all,
I'm a producer of TV commercials - currently seeking a location to film an ad for a 4wd vehicle. Thinking someone here might have recommendations?
We need a mountain summit, near
Melbourne (within 90mins drive), which has a
clearing large enough to see panoramic
views. We also need some nice looking 4wd
trails in the vicinity, to film the vehicle heading up the mountain.
The summit access does not HAVE to be 4wd-only, in fact, better access would be helpful.
Mt Dissapointment, or mountains around Toolangi are ideas currently on my mind. Wondering if anyone knows of vehicle accessible summit clearings with view?
I also will need to recce these
places, and as not a 4wder myself - Has anyone got tips? I'm conducting the search on a shoestring, but if searching for this kind of thing appeals to you I'd love some assistance, a lift/explore of said
places?
Thanks! Any ideas are most welcome :)
Asher

Mt Sterling ibehind Mt Buller s high, relatively easy to get access to, and has some great
views. It would be accessible without any special skills and is quite high.
It has wider tracks, and some rougher / more 4wd tracks. Craigs hut is a great back drop and I haven't seen it in an ad for a long time, if at all.
3 1/2 hours though.
Or
Bennison Lookout on the Tamboritha Rd out of
Licola. 2 1/2 to 3 hours and great view. Dirt road. 30 mins from pies at
Licola.

Mt Disappointment is gated.
For your hilltop, one option is Flagpole
Hill off the
Flowerdale -
Yea Rd. It's grassy; has good
views around 270+ degrees. Should be close to 2WD when dry.
For some track shots, there's plenty of options in the
Flowerdale Plantation and Mt Robertson SF - eg. a roughish climb on Arthur Rd and rougher on the unmade spur
trails off it, plus a few mud patches.
Or the W side of Mt Disappointment park for some twin-track climbs with humps (Harrys Nose, Boundary, and Quarry gets a bit rougher). There's some spekky cuttings with
views to the W out there.
