Toolangi bash - stock(ish) rigs EASY / MEDIUM

Toolangi, VIC
Just going for an easy play at Toolangi. Start off with Rocky Tk then check out some others.
Not looking to hold anyone's hand, so if you're totally new to offroading this isn't the trip for you. That said, won't leave a man behind and despite having a rear locker I'm only rocking all terrains and stock suspension on this rig so it's a trip that is well suited to stock cars. Built rigs welcome but you might find it boring.
Recovery gear of your own mandatory - so rated recovery points, snatch strap, and shackle at a minimum. Preferable that you have a winch.
Meet in the carpark at McKenzie Reserve Carpark @ Yarra Glen -37.656507, 145.374627 in time to be on the road by 9.

Hey guys,

Which other tracks are likely? Are you planning to do not much help? Victoria range? Any other tracks likely to cave in panels?

Just to be clear we actually wheel pretty hard tracks when we go out but I'm not interested in driving stuff that will absolutely guarantee caving in panels with no other interesting aspects to the track.

I'm running a stock rig and don't want any panel damage so will play it by ear and avoid the crazy stuff

I don't know the tracks that well so input is welcome on the day

Well we know it reasonably well but I've managed to cave in both my brand new car and my weekend car doing two of the tracks I've mentioned as has almost everyone in the group we run in usually. Toolangi is a bit of a funny place, you go there for the tracks really not for the scenery.

Have you actually done Rockey then? I ask because you've listed as a trip suitable for Stock cars but to be fair it's really not a track for that.

Trip Leader Tim (Tangles)
Not gonna be forcing anyone to do anything they're not comfortable with, if you don't like a track speak up and we'll find another route or meet up on the other side.
Yep have done rockey track a bunch of times. Looking at everyone's cars we should be fine.

Thanks for coming everyone! Was a great day out. Everyone was super helpful and cooperative with the winching, real good bunch of folks. I promise I'll have a lift and some big boy tyres on next trip 😅
