" going up via Davies Ridge, which has been ravaged by bushfires.......Should be fun!" Lol! Yeah the bloody fires have made alot of lowlying green scrub take over, cant find the path! But makes for easier bush bashing! Nice video bru!

Stunning views! I guess winter is the best time with the long grass and snakes around the place?

@AaronGrayOutdoors Жыл бұрын

Thanks! Yep, definitely a winter hike. Plus the trail receives little to no maintenance so more than likely more overgrown out there now.

Hiked here the weekend just gone with some mates, based solely upon watching your video - so thanks for showing us! Lovely campsite, definitely the nicest campsite I’ve been to.4WD access needed to get to the end of the road (we left a 2WD car a few km back). That climb at the end though? Bloody hell that was tough, but SO WORTH IT for the views

@AaronGrayOutdoors 2 жыл бұрын

Haha yes, it is a very steep climb but it is definitely worth it!!! I was up there again on Friday night that just passed. We did a day trip to Mount Huntley on Saturday before returning home. We did go past a group of like 8 heading up there for Saturday night. I assume that wasn't your group? Panorama Point itself also offers amazing views but is more of a climb.

@@AaronGrayOutdoors look that probably was us we messed up the numbers so probably had more people than ‘allowed’ - we even had a hiker stumble through at 8:30 at night who needed a place to stay too.

That’s gotta be one of the better campsite views I’ve seen! How much water did you need to bring, or was there some close by?

@AaronGrayOutdoors 3 жыл бұрын

Cheers! We both took 4 litres each which was enough for the two days. Unfortunately there is no water close by.

@michellemarmalade Жыл бұрын

Hello, what a beautiful video. Do you need a 4wd or will a all terrain do?

@AaronGrayOutdoors Жыл бұрын

Thanks Michelle. You would need a 4WD for old mill road. Without it, it’ll be an additional hour walk (approx 5km) each way.

Hey bud, how long would you say the hike was from your car to the campsite? Do you happen to have a GPS file or something similar? Looks amazing! Cheers!

@AaronGrayOutdoors 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks! It was only about 2 hours from car to camp. No GPS but it’s fairly straight forward if you stick to the top of the ridges. Cheers!

@markod2333 Жыл бұрын

Great video 😊 What route did you take, was there any scrambling?

@AaronGrayOutdoors Жыл бұрын

Hey Mark. From the end of Old Mill Road, we went straight up Davies Ridge until we hit the main ridge. Then followed that up to Lower Panorama Point. Whilst there is no scrambling, there is one really steep section. I re-visited this about 6 months ago, and the trail is way more overgrown now (weed infested). Navigational skills are definitely required. I hope that helps.

Thanks! It’s only 2 hours from car to camp, although steep in places. It’s fairly easy navigation wise, just stick to the ridge and the feint but easy to follow footpad and you can’t go wrong. Enjoy!
