Can someone help. Recently did a track in Toollangi
State forest. VERY narrow uphill climb with 50 foot drop off one side and a 50 foot high wall on the other side and no where to move over. What happens when another fourby comes down the
hill ? Who gives way and how?

Whatever the rules, written or unwritten I have never had a problem. Usually one or the other is pretty quick to make a decision about getting out of the way.
I am always on the look out for possible passing spots, it often amazes me how little room you need, it's just one of the things I do. If I encounter a vehicle coming the opposite way I almost always know where I am going to go and how I am going to get there. I usually have the camper in tow so I see this as part of my responsibility to ensure that my trailer causes the least inconvenience possible for me and for others.
The sections of track where it would be trully inconvenient or even dangerous to have to stop and reverse are usually quite short. As part of the evaluation process for such obstacles I walk it and if necessary place an observer who can guide me and alert oncoming traffic.
