22.01.2022 The coronavirus statistics that wont be broadcasted daily will be the overwhelming cases of people being affected by mental health. Whether its not being able to say a final goodbye to a loved one or seeing your livelihood that youve poured so much into crumble around you or even if its just not being able to enjoy a simple pleasure that you once did. Everyone will be affected differently and will also react differently. Please look out for your loved ones and your mates. Check in on them from time to time but most importantly look after yourself. The world and life will go on, we just have to be strong and know that we will get through it.

20.01.2022 If I knew how 2020 was going to pan out for us Victorians, I may not have continued on into Mexico when we came to the end of the Border Track this time last year....

20.01.2022 Big Red from a big bridge near Big River

20.01.2022 Like with most people and businesses in Australia, the Coronavirus Pandemic has had a significant impact in someway shape or form which we havent been immune from. At the moment we have no immediate plans to run any guided tours post life returning back to some sort of normality. Having said that, once it does return, our primary focus will be to relaunch the date for our Moving Mountains for Mens Mental Health Tour supporting Beyond Blue We are 100% committed to this now more than ever in these difficult times.

17.01.2022 Another mod ticked off for Big Red with this neat bit of kit from the guys at Huracan Fabrication turning the tailgate cavity into usable storage space. All my recovery gear and tool wrap fits perfectly

17.01.2022 That time I did a High Country trip in a lowered Ford Falcon AU XR6! It cost me an exhaust system but the memories and the 200km drive home straight out of the manifold was priceless

15.01.2022 Fully catered horse tour in Snowy River Country.

14.01.2022 Here’s a trip down memory lane. This was when we recovered A4-4’s radial engine from a steep gully on the side of Mt Torbreck. After knocking up a custom built skid and a complex winching operation involving 100’s of meters of straps and multiple pulley blocks, it now stands proudly at the memorial site on a Airspeed Oxford engine mount and custom made frame as a secondary memorial to the lost men. ... This is the longest I’ve ever gone without checking in on the A4-4 Memorial site and will no doubt need a heap of maintenance when we’re allowed to return.

14.01.2022 Ripper day for it . . . .... . . . #beeroclock #froffytime #relax #kickback #notacareintheworld #highcountryhuts #bushhuts #hut #fryshut #highcountryadventuretours #vichighcountry #victorianhighcountry #highcountry #backcountry #bush, #4wdtouring #4x4 #4wd #4wdlife #insta4wd #4wdtravel #travel #4wdtracks #offroad #lowrange #escape #outdoors #exploreaustralia #camping

13.01.2022 The time has come to roll up the swag for the last time on our guided 4x4 tours of the Victorian High Country. In what has been a thoroughly rewarding experience, (I refuse to use the word journey ) the time is right to move onto new things. In what started off as nothing more than a light hearted conversation sitting around the camp fire with a bunch of great mates evolved into a reality that Im actually quite proud of. I have met some fantastic people on these tours wi...th memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you to everyone that came along for the ride! What next you ask? Our Moving Mountains For Mens Mental Health Tour in November will be our swan song for guided tours but I still plan on being In the Victorian High Country as often as I can, probably more now in fact! So if youre following because you love the bush, history and old trucks, stick with us as its only going to get better! Cheers

13.01.2022 Couldnt agree more! It works for us and it is why we want to share it with others! #movingmountainsformensmentalhealth

12.01.2022 Flying trip up to the Royston Ranges today didn’t disappoint. Just as I was leaving snow was falling fairly solidly at 1100m. There should be good ground cover for those heading out on the weekend @ Royston River

12.01.2022 Prior to the Peco Star wheels finding their way onto Big Red, they were previously on a Chev powered FJ40 Shorty, a HJ75 ute, a HJ75 Troopy and a HDJ80 spanning over 30 years of High Country travel! The previous owner of the rims reached out to see if I would be interested in them and after hearing the history behind them I couldnt resist! Check out these awesome photos of the Shorty at Craigs and Lovicks Huts from the late eighties. ... Who can spot the dog at Craigs Hut?

05.01.2022 The sky has been pretty spectacular over the last few evenings. We can only imagine that this is what it looked like at one of our favourite spots. If no one was there to see it though, did it actually happen? - - #thoughtfortheday #sunset #sunsetphotography #spectacular #highcountryadventuretours #vichighcountry #victorianhighcountry #highcountry #backcountry #bush, #4wdtouring #4x4 #4wd #4wdlife #insta4wd #4wdtravel #travel #4wdtracks #offroad #lowrange #escape #outdoors #exploreaustralia #camping #craigshut #seehighcountry

05.01.2022 **TOUR POSTPONED** It really pains us to say this but given the news that the government is effectively putting a ban on all non-essential travel due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, weve had to postpone our tour. Up until a few hours ago we were determined to see it go ahead due to our passion for the cause behind this tour and for the commitments that everyone had made to be on it. We were also looking forward to some sort of normality in these crazy times.... That all said, this tour is not cancelled just postponed. Our sincerest apologies to all our participants and businesses that have supported us from the outset. We might be down but we are not out!!

05.01.2022 It is time.....

04.01.2022 Have you guys seen our Beyond Blue Donation Page? Its really easy to find and would take no more than a couple of minutes out of your day. Those couple of minutes and a couple of dollars to help the blokes that battle the black dog day in day out would go a long long way. Help us help them

03.01.2022 Every time I go here I always imagine the hive of activity this place would have had back in the day. Who knows where it is and bonus points for what year this image was captured - - **image supplied by former caretakers daughter**

01.01.2022 For those of you that have been following for a while will know how passionate I and a few good mates are about the historically significant memorial site up on Mt Torbreck dedicated to the lost crew of RAAF Avro Anson A4-4. Next year on the 23rd of January will mark 80 years since the four crew were found and repatriated back to their families after being lost for 9 months. Being such a significant anniversary, we find it more than fitting that Flying Officer Anthony Danie...l, Corporals Francis Hyland, Fred Sass & Ivan Stowdor will be honoured with a ceremony officiated by the RAAF at the memorial site to commemorate this special occasion. The finer details of the event will be revealed in the coming months but for now, pencil the 23rd of January 2021 in your diaries to be there to witness something truly special.
