    Deep creek track looks interesting.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPN48rRCuWo&feature=youtu.be

    Of course, we will see who's coming and determine the tracks (unless you have already got some tracks in mind).
    Hope this trip will be a good one! ..... It's going to be cold up there.

    There is a lot of track closures until November. But still is plenty of tracks to explore. Deep creek is something I have wanted to go back to, but have waited until I could do my lift. (Happening next week)
    Here's a pic from deep creek

    Hey I just joined.. Found this site at the expo on sunday.. just wondering if I could tag along, sounds great. I have a 08 hilux and would love to test it out.

    there is snow forcast this week as low as 700mts so Erica is that so any higher would be mushy and would be best to check close to the date... check with SES locally also

    Good luck getting back out of DC1 if it rains!
    Good track. Nice creek drive before the hard left, then right loose gravel climb out. Last time even the goat tracks were difficult, with lockers.

    1stly for some reason I cant get the pics or videos that have been posted.

    More importantly, Deep Creek 1 is nothing like it used to be. The 'step' out of the creek bed is no longer & the climb out is a absolute mess as the graders went through recently. Some people I know were up there a few weeks ago & there was a fair bit of winching.so unless ALL vehicles have winches I would be very hesitant to drive the track. It is rumoured that it is going to be closed, but that is unconfirmed.

    Dont get to too worried if you dont drive the track; there is plenty more around & would love to join you guys as Walhalla is my favourite place to go 4wding,but I stay away in winter unless I am heading up to Mt Selma to do some snow driving. With luck you might have some on your trip.

    PS: If I knew how to put a pic up of Deep Creek ! as it is now, I would do so.

    Was there on Saturday. Did DC1 & DC4. Nearly all the tracks we did were very recently bulldozed. I reckon we were the first to drive on some. Personally I would think twice about doing these tracks if it has been raining prior. Surface is very soft and loose and very slippery. Good muddies, lift & experience needed.

    Hi Allan, you can upload picture using the link below:
    http://www.4wdtrip.com.au/offroad/account/photos/upload2.aspx?album=177&tripid=27

    Once you have clicked "Add more files" button to add your pictures, you need to click "Upload" button at the bottom right.

    P.S You can only upload pictures, not video files. We don't support video (yet).

    By the way, thanks for the heads up. Looks like most of the trucks have winches fitted. So it should be alright. It may be our last drive before they close the track :(

    Thanks for the heaps up Andrew!.... Now we know what to expect.

    Nice photos. That's the spot my old Hilux remembers well.

    Steven (Trink)
    hmm I don't have lockers.. may be to hard for me.. what do you guys think? I have never been there be for
    24 Jun 2014
    Allan (allanmac) Premium Member
    Trink, I think lockers or not, most will struggle especially if it is wet. The pic of the guy in the white 80 is twin locked & he had to winch up, (you can see his winch rope in the other pic).
    24 Jun 2014
    Kelvin (TREXGQ) Premium Member
    @Trink, we may not do Deep Creek tracks too ....to my understanding, the trip organiser is going to "Check out tracks". So I think there won't be a problem even without lockers. I don't have lockers myself :)
    24 Jun 2014
    Allan (allanmac) Premium Member
    Trink, I was only talking about the Deep Creek track. As you have never been up that way; GO, as it will be a place you will enjoy & want to go back to again & again.
    24 Jun 2014
    Steven (Trink)
    Thanks for the advice 4wdnuts and allanmac I think I will go. I have to see what its like and to meet you guys as well and do abit of bush bashing.. See you guys there.

    @Trink, make sure you press "Join this trip" button to notify the organiser.
    25 Jun 2014
    Steven (Trink)
    hey 4wdnuts I thought I did it all ready.. on the top right hand side it says I am going.. or is there some other 1 I have to clic on ?
    25 Jun 2014
    Kelvin (TREXGQ) Premium Member
    @Trink,..Oops sorry, my mistake. I was looking at Steve (tasl) who are interested in the trip but not yet confirmed. All good : )
    25 Jun 2014
    Steve (tasl)
    My car is getting the 2" lift on Tuesday, so will wait till that is done before confirming, just incase there is a problem. If someone else confirms and I miss out I can make it on the next trip.
    26 Jun 2014
    Kelvin (TREXGQ) Premium Member
    @tasl, sounds good....... I am hoping to get my front locker fitted before this trip........ can't wait......
    26 Jun 2014
    Steve (tasl)
    I have to wait till August to get my rear elocker fitted.
    26 Jun 2014
    Kelvin (TREXGQ) Premium Member
    @tasl, it seems that more and more people are fitting elocker over Airlocker. Let us know how it goes, would be good to have more competition (good for consumer at the end)

    Kelvin (TREXGQ) Premium Member
    It's only a week till our trip to Walhalla (Next Sunday on 6th July). You still have time to check your vehicle to make sure it is in good condition.
    - Double check your winch condition and make sure it works! ....

    Tim (Timmz)
    Hi guys, new to this group. Just confirmed on tagging along with this trip, never been to walhalla so really looking forward to it.
    29 Jun 2014
    Kelvin (TREXGQ) Premium Member
    Hi Timmz, welcome!... I am sure you will love Walhalla. I've only been there few times but the place was amazing. I just hope that it won't be too wet and if we do try Deep Creek track, make sure your winch is in good condition as we will need it. See you on Sunday!
    29 Jun 2014
    Eddie (puppasmurf1au)
    I wouldn't mind coming but im not interested in winching on tracks , you wouldn't get to see much around if we all end up winching and if the weather is going to be the same as the weekend just gone it will be wet and snow all over
    30 Jun 2014
    Kelvin (TREXGQ) Premium Member
    Hi Eddie (puppasmurf1au), I think nobody like winching but if it does requires winching (self-recovery or recovering other vehicles), we will be able to do it safely. It's part of 4wding after all.

    We should always over-prepare rather than under-prepare. We are not saying that we will definitely need winching in this trip. It's up to the organiser (Wayne) deciding which tracks we should tackle. We will also assess the condition once we get there. We can always say no and turn around OR go around the difficult sections.

    It will be wet and cold (that's a guarantee) this weekend.

    Its ok kelvin I was told I r s full any how. Maybe another time buddy

    Kelvin (TREXGQ) Premium Member
    Yes looking good...any more coming? It's not too late to join this trip.
    03 Jul 2014
    Eddie (puppasmurf1au)
    it doesn't make sense kelvin one person says it is full and your asking if anybody else is coming . im confused lol
    03 Jul 2014
    Kelvin (TREXGQ) Premium Member
    Hey Eddie, I was not aware that you were informed the trip was full. Did you get the message from Wayne (organiser)?.... I will contact him and see if we can take on more cars for this trip...sorry about the confusion...
    03 Jul 2014
    Eddie (puppasmurf1au)
    its ok buddy its cool
    03 Jul 2014
    Kelvin (TREXGQ) Premium Member
    Ok I have confirmation from the trip organiser that this trip is now full. Sorry for my previous message to invite you to join the trip. We will check out the tracks and I may organise another Walhalla trip soon. Thanks guys...
    03 Jul 2014
    Eddie (puppasmurf1au)
    going buy the snow reports there should be snow around the 1000mt and above , have fun
    03 Jul 2014
    Kelvin (TREXGQ) Premium Member
    YES! We did it. We've done Deep Creek Track No.1 during winter (it's in my bucket list). If not because of Wayne, I would have never thought of trying it. I will post a report soon, need to put my kids to bed first. Thanks for everyone who turned up! ...What a great trip guys.

    Thanks guys for a great day out. It was hard yakka for sure. Not an easy track to do in the wet. But we did it unscathed. Enjoyed it thoroughly.

    Regards

    What a unique and beautiful track! Definetly do it again. Kelvin made
    It look easy!! Fantastic job leading the trip too kelvin. My stoooopid tigers winch went into a coma..hopefully I can revive it.
    Was lucky enough to see Conrad's cruiser..probably one of the toughest looking 200 series in AUS.

    08 Jul 2014
    Kelvin (TREXGQ) Premium Member
    You are right Eddie, solenoids are always the culprit.
