G'Day Fella's,
I wanted to scout out some new Deer (Sambar Deer) huntin country, a little closer to home, before the main and cooler (less snakes) winter hunting season.
So I headed south from home (1 1/2 hours) and then west (1 hour +), up over the main dividing range (1860 meters/ ???? ft) at Dead Horse Gap, and then down to and over the border into the state of Victoria's alpine region, of South-East Australia (aka-Oz).
This is some of the highest country in Oz and is both spectacular and rugged in places but lucky for us blokes, it has 4WD fire trails, etc (to give bush fire fighters, access to the areas), all over the place.
Most tracks are in good order but some are a bit rough in places.
So with the Battle Cruiser (BC) loaded up with whats required, I started making tracks....... here's some images.
The first thing, was to cross the Murray River.
This was at the locality of "Tom Groggin", and from the state of New South Wales (NSW), into the state of Victoria (aka-Mexico, "South of the border, down Mexico way"), where the Deer are more common and wide spread.
The entry into the river crossing was good as was the depth of the river (maybe 0.5 meters or 20") but the exit was a bit rough. But with BC in 1st gear, low range, it was almost easy.
Stay tuned..........

In the Murray River (aka the "Rio Grande"...... if you know what I mean LOL!).
From the "Mexican" side, looking back to the crossing entry point.
The view of the exit, from above and below.
There's BC, at the top.
