A great 4WD day trip from Sydney to the heritage listed Blue Mountains. Taking in the 4WD Oberon Colong Historic Stock Route through to the Kowmung River Fire Trail, Dingo Dell camping area, Tuglow Caves, the Kowmung River, and finally the Morong Creek Crossing, plus a quick look at Kanangra Walls. An ideal day trip or weekend away with creek crossings and low range climbs and descents. This is part of the old Caves to Caves Trail but both Wombeyan Caves and Jenolan Caves roads are once again closed. The adventure takes place in the Blue Mountains and Kanangra-Boyd National Parks.00:00 Start

Nice one Neil. we were up around Lithgow and then Rydal a few weekends ago. was nice to see most of it was dried out somewhat. Rydal still had a lot of standing water at some used to be simple crossings. was good to get out though

Thanks Peso, Rydal is Marangaroo etc? I must revisit it, lots of good 4WD spots. Hope the family is well and we should do a trip soon? 😀👍🏽

Nice one Neil. I was wondering about the caves to caves drive. It's a shame they closed the roads but I think quite a bit of it is on public property. I'd sill love to do it though

Thanks Jim, there is private property in there plus Wombeyan Caves Rd is often closed as is Jenolan Caves Rd. Pity because it could be a world class tourist drive. 😀

good vid ,Neil,,,,any chance of putting up screen shots of maps and directions for your trips in the future ???? thanks ,,,Dave

Yes I will do Dave no problem. I’ll do track notes in future. This trip was mostly Kowmung River FT which joins up with Morong Creek FT. From Mt Werong you’d take Banshea Rd to Banshea Hill Trail which joins up with Kowmung FT. 👍🏻😀

Nice video mate. Good to see they’ve finally put up a new dunny at Dingo Dell. That little creek you cross is Tuglow Hole Creek, Dingo Dell Creek runs into it. How many K’s have you got on your Challenger?

@Challenger4WD 10 ай бұрын

Thx Jarrad. Nearly 163K kms on the Challenger. I want to do that drive with the trailer at some point. It’s a very nice bit of bush. 😀👍🏻

@@Challenger4WD she’s still a youngster mate haha. I’ve got a 2017 Triton with 170k on it. I’m kinda surprised we haven’t passed each other out on the tracks. You visit a lot of the same areas that I camp and tour through.

@Challenger4WD 10 ай бұрын

Ok, was that the run out of the old shape? A very capable vehicle the Triton too. I saw no one until Kanangra on the last trip, but it was a Wednesday I think. 😀

@@Challenger4WD nah the first of the new shape, but different to the current model. I said I’d keep it 10 years when I bought it, but it’s aging so well, I’d say I’ll probably keep it 15 years. There was a few blokes camped on the Kowmung last I was there, but didn’t see another vehicle for nearly 2 days, and it was a weekend, which was surprising.
