Did this track a few weeks ago on my motorbike, needless to say I was avoiding all the bog holes like the plague! The mini gunshot feature was full of water... yikes.

Drove out today from Melbourne to take the dog for an adventure walk. After walking from the campground past the rock step (rock packing under Max tracks) decided the trusty old Outback would make it. Chicken tracks all the way but we made it. So good!

Watching all of the wheel spin occurring, as the traction control makes up its mind to do something, I wonder the difference in tyre life compared to non-traction control. Certainly is a lot of wheel spin induced as compared to using a different line with more tyre plant and not spinning wheels, which, after all is the name of the game.

Traction control has its pluses and minuses. Possibly there was an easier line bit wanted to drive the rock step so did.

Just today returned from Lerderderg State Park, drove all of the same tracks that you did, including the rocky climb up Billet track and did not slip at wheel. Not once. No traction control, just good old Nissan LSD. So, what are the pluses of traction control as opposed to correct line? The minuses would be unnecessary wheel spin?@@OffTheBeatenPathAus

Yes, there are seasonal closures in Lerderberg. Most of the fun and popular ones are closed each year....but not the main 2wd track/road (blue gum/O'Briens) which remains open..

Thanks for sharing. That’s my part of the world and there some serious bog holes there. I do a lot solo 4WDing there and l’m big fan of the “Chicken” tracks and minimum vehicle damage. Keep up the good work. Oh and yes there are seasonal closures.

oh nice, When are you going to Lerderderg again, im like 45mins away form there lol? Yer some of the tracks can get real sloppy in winter and worth having a few mates with you in there 4bys. But the area is pretty big and not many think of that and some tracks can take a few hours to do tho.
