Wandered around Wombat today

Missus and I had a grouse day just tooling around the forest exploring tracks and seeing how diverse that forest is. Lots of variety in terms of offroading and lots to see and discover. Given that we were on our own there wasn't anything to extreme on our agenda but we did have a shot at a few smaller bog holes and some of the less rutted tracks. Besides the vehicle only has 6000kms on it so far and I like the panels the way they are for now.
Little bit of a creek crossing

The forest ranges from dry and scrubby to lush and green. Lots of wildlife to be seen. Bugger all people. In over 6 hours on the tracks we only came across 3 trailbike riders and nobody else.


Someone told me I should use a stick to check the depth of the bog holes before proceeding. Very effective particularly when thrown across to the other side

Nice pics mate.

Looks like a nice place to visit!

Good pics,after reading this thread i googled for a map but couldn't find one without paying.
But it sounds like there is some good tracks there.

Use this fella to get an idea of whats going on and get an idea of where your going but still grab a map or print off this before you go. You cant really get too lost in Wombat. Forest Explorer Online

Good link Aido,cheers.

Great link, wish QLD had something like that.

Here's a few more pics





I loved the little orchids - they were only in place that I could see and so I am quite happy just to have been there to see them. I know it doesn't have 4 inches of lift or one off fabricated barwork but this is the reason we want to go bush - to see and experience new things.

Happy days

great photos mate, i used to do a bit of camping/riding in the wombat state forest in the spring hill area. what area were you in?

great pic's

Everytime i go wombat i can never find any decent 4wd tracks and im always told its awesome 4wding, but wombat is a big forest and im yet to explore all of it. Good thing its less than an hour from home.

I have seen and heard this comment by others and I cant believe it. Picture of the dogs in the hole - this one was only 2 foot deep but they are everywhere and alot of them are deeper. I have found 2 serious hill climbs. The picture of the Nav crossing the Lerderderg - not 30 meters further up that track was a hole that was at least 20m long and well over 1m deep. Definitely worth exploring up every little track. Most of them are just short link tracks or go nowhere at all.
