Like your picture Wayne, Ah the ol, bush TV.
Where in the high Country are you headed Wayne??
Boldjack, myself & some other club members are off to
Tom Groggin,
Moscow villa hut,
Omeo and on to Mt Buller & Selwin area's in Jan.
Enjoy your trip mate, and I may follow up on what you did for ideas.

Not to say it's not steep, but the roofline obscures the bonnet for much of it, so it's not as steep as the camera angle makes it look.
I saw a classic example of this on Laurie Tk last weekend. I waited back to watch the others climb gnarly looking
hill and take some photos. The photos look awesome and it looked and looks really steep.
But then I drove up it in low 3rd with occassional bits of low 2nd. Not a patch on Hernes Spur, which looking at it from where I was spectating it looked worse than.
Where are you headed Wayne?

Sorry mate. No tooth fairy either.
And the
Easter Bunny got mixo...
No disagreement about the horsepower though. Looks like they've widened the wheel track too, which would be an interesting engineering exercise.

If you look around, there is one who doesn't quite make it up that
hill and it's not preatty.

G'day wigger, yeah I saw that one some time back, what confidence that guy shows!!!! To be hitting the pedal before the
wheels are back on the ground, it could have easily rolled down the
hill on the left side, those arabs are crazy.
