Victorian High Country Part 4: Finally Driving Kings Plain Track After 7 Years

Victorian High Country 4WD Adventure - Part 4: Kings Plain Track & Davies Plain

Join me as we tackle the Kings Plain Track, a bucket list drive I've been wanting to do for 7 years. This episode covers our descent down the challenging 1000-meter elevation drop to the Murray River, dealing with track closures that make no sense, and finding some brilliant camp spots along the way.

What's covered:
• Kings Plain Track - steep descents, loose gravel, and wombat holes
• Davies Plain exploration and confusing closure information
• River camping at the Victoria/NSW border
• Technical driving tips for steep terrain and low traction sections
• Starlink deployment for track research (when the signs fail you)
• Alpine swimming - because 1000m elevation water is "refreshing"

Gear Review:
Undercover Australia canvas bags - proper organization for overlanding gear. After months of use, here's why these are the best canvas storage solutions I've found for keeping kit sorted in the cruiser.

Track Conditions:
Kings Plain rated as difficult - low range essential, lockers recommended. Red clay sections can be slippery after rain. One way in/out - consider weather before committing.
