TASMANIA'S BEST 4WD TRACKS- Roothy
My suggested weekend starts something like this. Step one, send the Handbrake to her mum’s, step two, hit the drive thru bottle shop, err, sorry about that. Where were we? Tasmania? OK, for us north islanders, the big shock about off-roading in Tasmania is how bloody brilliant it is and how incredibly remote you can get without being more than a few hours as the crow flies from town.
But the crow doesn’t have to negotiate steep slippery hills does he? Not for him the greasy mud patches, bogs, rock strewn tracks with gutters bigger than a Patrol with roof racks and beach sand softer than a politician’s hands. Yep, you’ve got it, a magic place to drive off-road!
“Oh, and Roothy, I’ve got a surprise for you mate. The Tasmanian brewers Boags have heard about you, they’re giving us a cut price deal on a palette of their finest. Looks like we’ll be seeing Tasmania in style, after dark at least.”
“You beauty!” I love these trips away. Sure we do some tough all-day driving but the nights spent swapping yarns around a campfire and knocking back a few coldies before swagging it more than make up for that. It’s a pity to have to leave the Handbrake behind and all but I figure absence makes the heart grow fonder. I know we’ll both survive.
Especially one of us with a couple of cold Boags under his belt. Too easy!

Love Roothy’s commentary this is a man that truely loves this country. Also like his driving style he obviously has a lot of mechanical sympathy as he doesn’t just put the foot down and hope for the best he assesses the situation then goes at it with care and attention to what’s happening.

@rrrandommman Жыл бұрын

Learning from the best for sure. He has a video all about mechanical sympathy, worth the watch for anyone who hasn't.

We have a b.utt pucker similar to this washout section at "wallaby Rocks trail (hard option)" in my local range the "grampians" in Victoria. But it's a u-bolt also and inclined, you have maybe 4" acceptable wheel placement on the outside. If you go to far its about 100 metres down and pretty much vertical. Highly recommended if you have the steel the veiw is awsome to say the least. Probably not ideal for my stock 07 rodeo but she takes it well.

Now I know why I can't watch old 4WD Action episodes with Roothy because the flogs at 4WD Supacentre own them and probably refuse to release them. Hopefully this is a start supacentre, release the old episodes during this lockdown ya Bastards.
