Mount Cobbler great hike in the mountains highest waterfall in Victoria Dandongadale Falls
Переглядів 604Рік тому
Mount Cobbler/Dandongadale Falls is somewhat a bit underrated overnight hike, its steep climbing on the first day followed by a great campsite by the Mt Cobbler Lake which is beautiful and nearby are the two waterfalls, the cascades of the "fake" waterfall and bit higher up the main one being the highest waterfall in Victoria at 255 metres, Dandongadale Falls. The peak of Mt Cobbler itself has ...

Following the February 2009 bushfires at The Prom we decided to do The Lighthouse return hike . Straight down the Telegraph Track we got into the “End of the World” feel of the lighthouse in the afternoon . Following a short break and checking out the local family of Wombats we headed it back , got into after dark and just as showers started rolling in. Next day sore all over we headed it back ...

We took off on Saturday at 10 am and made it to the campsite by 3.30 pm. Plenty of time to enjoy the ambience of the beautiful campsite and also other the firewood. The campsite is well sheltered albeit during strong winds the lower sections provide even more protection from the wind. On Sunday we left at 10.30 am and made it back to the carpark by 3.30pm. Its wonderful that it is a loop and al...

We started in Port Melbourne and took a drive towards the historic Point Nepean, took the ferry from Sorrento to Queenscliff and then returned from the west back to the city of Melbourne. There is many interesting places along the way and it is quite a long day and more like to days would be recommended.

One of the best hikes in the Victorian Alps and an opportunity to hike to Victoria's highest peak at 1986 metres and experience one of the best campgrounds in Victoria, the stunning Cleve Cole Hut campground.

We left early on Sunday morning for a bit of fun near Melbourne and the Discovery got stuck in one of the holes, Wombat Forest is renown for that. Steve in the Disco was keen on getting his car dirty and he got a bit more than he bargained for. The hole was almost a rectangular box and the car dropped in perfectly. Somebody forgot to check the depth of the hole before trying to cross it...Water...

Melbourne Best overnight hike within 1 hour , Lerderderg State Park, Complete Hike Victoria
Great effort, well done! I'm still to do this one.
Many thanks , definetely recommend it as a semi rock climb , it’s quite unique I think , I would not do it on a windy day and also alone , it’s not too far from Melbourne so that helps , overall a great day trip to the country thanks again 😊
Well done guys, a tough hike 😎🤙
Thank you , bit tricky in some sections to be honest but beautiful part of the world and not too far from Melbourne 😊
its a couple of years back now since you posted your excellent video From a person that may do this trip next year, can I ask what you would like to have planned differently for next time and what was your equipment? Were you over weight (pack wise)? What was your fitness level?
Thank you 🙏 well that’s an excellent question . There is a couple of interesting dynamics that I might mention . It’s easier to manage logistically if from Tasmania and with own car . We spotted an opening during Covid and flew from Melbourne on a Thursday morning first flight and last flight out on Sunday . If I could do it differently I would fly in the day before organise a car on that day and also get the gas canisters organised at the shops . Unfortunately there was stuffing around with the car and getting gas. We did not leave till about 10.30 or maybe even 11. So that’s a first point . If you want to sleep in the tent or cabin is another consideration. You need to leave early to get a spot in the cabin . The campgrounds at both cabins are on boards with chains so not ideal to perfectly set up the tents , and we all had at least two extra guy lines so the fly does did not touch the inner tent . Given the area gets huge amount of rain you want to set up your tent as properly as possible . There is a soggy area on the other side of the cabin where one can pitch couple of tents but there is trees overhanging and leeches everywhere. The cabin is pretty old but accommodates a few people with a fire place . It was a bit rowdy when we were there . Also some people turned up after us and there was no room on the boards, I can’t recall but the boards I think might fitted about 8 tents or so. I would leave early for the next leg as it’s a full day . The dick smith funded cabin is amazing either way extraordinary view from the inside . It fits about a dozen and very clean and warm as it has electricity running powered by water fed generator. So renewable. We did manage to get spots inside and it was comfortable but the two people who slept in the tents got a fair bit of buffeting and heavy rain , also not easy to sleep under those conditions and it was easier in the cabin .There is not many places to put the tents and once again it’s on boards. I will say I think there is 10 permits issued per day however some people stay around for 5 or 6 days or longer so accomodation space can be tight . Going to the summit one needs to take water but you don’t want to take your pack with you . I would recommend some sort of basic cloth bag on two strings that does not take much space to put a bottle of water and some snacks in , you don’t want to carry them on you , I put them into the pockets of my big rain jacket however not ideal scenario, so that’s what I would do differently. If you are thinking of heading back on that day to camp 1 then leave early for summit as when you head back to camp 1 on the same day you want to get a decent camp spot. Hiking poles essential to camp 2 as it’s very slippery. Also you should have at least mid or full boots as you don’t want to do an ankle there . Remote but extremely beautiful part of Tasmania , any injuries they would need to get a chopper I think . When we were there over 4 days it rained 2.5 days and heavy not like what we get here In Melbourne. Gear wise we are all seasoned hikers in oz and also in the Himalayan and the European alps. Everyone was fit . We usually do one hike daily per month and overnight every second month . Apart from that for me I cycle to work in cbd so that’s 20km and carry 6kg pack . So reasonably fit albeit unlike others I don’t do gym . In terms of our gear we have top notch as if in the remote places you don’t want anything to go wrong . My pack is osprey Aetha 85l , bit too big for this but very comfortable but you probably could do with 65 to 75 depends how efficient you are . Friends did this hike in 3 days previously , I would stay longer as long as possible if one enjoys nature . We have a group going there as they completed the overland and Frenchman’s cap is a step up on that . I would not do it in winter and only do it the other 6 months of the year. I had a problem with my scarpas as I lost one sole on second day and the other the next day , they were only used once in the Himalayas and were about 3 years old so scarpa is a good brand and I think I was just unlucky . Also my trusty xped r7 endured two Kilimanjaro trips and after 15 years it actually partially died on me on one side so that’s also why I wanted to sleep inside the cabin up higher up . Xped is a good brand and I use thermarest r7 at the moment , smaller and as warm as the xped but not as comfortable. Also to add I would not do this trip as solo hiker as if something happens , break a leg or what ever , the area is too remote . Anyway I think I probably cover it , good luck with your trip and the better preparation the more rewarding experience it will be .👌 let me know if you have any more questions 👌
Is there normally a lot of people there?
It depends when one goes , during the week probably about a does or so on the trial , weekends especially with good weather are busier , there is actually hikers who go there as well as there is some bbq facilities so you get people who come in for picnics pretty much close to the car parks . Our group is very large so you don’t get these size groups there but on weekends I would say between 10 am and avoid you will see probably at least about 100 or there abouts , but if one goes early in the morning on weekends so let’s say 6.30 , 7 and finishes on average about 2.5 hours for complete loop , then there will not be that many , the car parks on nice days can get full and there is about 3 of them on 3 different levels , one per level . Anyway enjoy it as it’s a gem close to Melbourne 😊
@@youradventure0710thanks
Oooh this pulls at my heartstrings. Wilson’s Prom is such a special place for me, I holidayed in Tidal River every summer for 15 years back in the 70s and 80s as a kid. I never got to do an overnight hike, the furthest I ever got was Sealers Cove and Whiskey Bay but I remember them all. Darby Saddle, Tongue Point (we found that so funny and rude as teenagers) Squeaky Beach, Lilly Pilly Gully. I think I’m too old to attempt this hike now sadly. I’d love to go back to the Prom some day.
Thank you for sharing your story , fascinating what a connection with the land , innocent years in a gorgeous place . There is a fair bit to do around tidal river and its surroundings so probably not surprising that you did not do an overnight hike . For example wombats tend to congregate near the bathrooms and tent area at Tidal river and of course they are an attraction in itself . Well we have a 75 year old in our group and he still does the overnights , from the carpark at mt Oberon one can do fantastic day hikes to Little Waterloo bay and Norman bay , amazing places and doable in a day . But I will say that even the drive from the front gate of the Prom to tidal river is beautiful and we sometimes stop to take some photos . A good way to reconnect is just to go there for a drive 👍 just do it 🙏
Forget the hike... how about that sick beat at the start? It is a nice hike tho
Thank you , yes you right music makes a bit of a difference 🙏 and often finding the right music is hard , but the hike is also a good opportunity to relax for a couple of hours away from the big noise of Melbourne , thank you again 😊
This is stunning ! Just because our mountains sit low , it doesn’t mean they are easy to climb . In fact people overseas mistakenly think that we don’t have real mountains .Well done guys !
Thank you kindly , yes you are right one does not need to have high mountains to get decent exercise and sometimes get into trouble , we do have more than a few places of interest in Victoria , thank you 🙏
Im sure its up there, but there's so many,.
You are quite right there is a few , Tasmania’s hikes seem to be a bit more exotic/primeval, hard to find it on the mainland and peaks are more European in nature 👍
@@youradventure0710 True. But I do remember a hike in the NSW blue mountains. Incredible. Still, a few walks I've had around my home in Rosebery do remind me of Gondwana. Australia is awesome.
@@peterblair6489 yes nsw is beautiful and blue mountains are special , another world when one descends into it and only on the edge of a big city 👍
What boots was that?
Thank you , they were Scarpas , I had them in Nepal for three weeks for the EBC about a year before and that was the next hike when we went to Tasmania, I was surprised as they are a reputable brand , maybe they did not like the moisture but funny thing my other one pretty much went as well on that trip , perhaps they don’t like moisture , I have had a lot more success with Merrell shoes brand , in the outdoors I tend to stick to good brands , thank you
Jak milo widzieć Kasieńke Domański uśmiechniętą :)
yes she comes down on some hikes with the group but otherwise on the quiet side 🙂
Very nice beautiful spot
Thank you , yes you are very right and accessible by 4wd , it’s a little bit undiscovered by the hiking world of Victoria 😊
Great video and a wonderful trip 😊
Thank you , close to Melbourne and another world 😊
Hiking the Grand Canyon is better than just going to the lookout.
Yes you are quite right , gives you even more of an insight how vast it is , little bit unprepared and it was quite hot inside , the ponderosa trees are amazing and have a nice scent to them 🤗 thank you
@@youradventure0710 Most visitors visit Los Vegas than Grand Canyon . I rather visit the Grand Canyon ! I am not into “Lost Wages “ lol
@@louisaklimentos7583 I agree and the Canyon is not the far away. The town of Williams near the Canyon is also quite picturesque.
What a great adventure
Thank you. ,lots of different trails there but we did the 3 day in two days , but close to Melbourne yet once inside feels very remote , thank you 😊
Great video. Wonderful to see middle aged people having a great time.
Thanks for dropping by , yes the oldies are out there , our oldest chap is one of the most focused people , ran over 35 marathons around the world and he is going to Europe to do 3 highest peaks in 3 countries in 3 weeks , I could not do it 😅 thank you again 🤗
Awesome! Really great to see you all in this video. -Saad
Thank you Saad , it was a very last minute decision in preparation for Kokoda , trust all is well ❤, thank you 😊
Wow! What a place! Great video!
Yes definitely recommend and it was better and more grandiose and beautiful than expected , hiking in there plenty of water required thank you
I did this about 65 years ago. Bloody hard work then.!!!!😂😂
Big congratulations 👏 you must have struggled to keep your head above the mud plains in those days , I heard it was a huge struggle in those days , the huts also were bit different if one was relying on them . Did you do Mt Anne by any chance ?
I have been to the Prom but there was no guided walks to lighthouse during winter . I love it so much .
You are on the money it’s a jewel in Victoria , the hike to the lighthouse can be a bit challenging if short on time or if weather conditions are challenging , this is an old video with some average recording , but some people were better prepared than others and water is quite critical , I hope you have some interesting walks in store for this year 😊
@@youradventure0710 Thank you so much
The best and at the same time the worst trip of my life 😅🤣
Well I think it was a character building experience for all of us 😅. Also on the first day it was a rather warm day which made things more challenging , Johnie hang back at camp to make sure coffee was nice and ready for all of us 😊 there wasn’t much footage from those days but at least enough so one can see the beauty of the area 👍
This looks brilliant my friend, such a relaxing and simply cheerful atmosphere! Love this upload!
Thank you kindly it was our first trip to Wilson prom and for some first serious hike , bit rough production , but thank you kindly 😊
Really enjoy your videos! Looking forward to what trips you have planned for 2023!
Thank you for dropping by , yes Kokoda is in planning stages 😊, for later this year , that has many aspects to it and we ended up going to Kilimanjaro a few years ago otherwise back then we would have done Kokoda , but Wilson Prom is a wonderful place 😊
Is the old bloke french? He's a machine
Thank you Neil, he is actually Polish , and he has run over 30 marathons in his life around the world and the most focused person that I know , no shortcuts for him and he just came back from walking the 750km or so of the Camino in Europe . Positive energy is important . Thank you kindly 😊
@@youradventure0710 wow he's a rare breed happy new.year
He definitely is , thank you and happy adventures in 2023 👍
I have been there but never got to walk to the lighthouse however I saw wombats all over Squeaky Beach . Your video is amazing!!!
Thank you for your comment , I do the videos with a mobile phone as hiking and doing other things is not that easy . I agree with you Wilson prom is amazing and the wombats are there and so close to tidal river 😊 the hike to lighthouse and back even in let’s say the straightest path is not easy as the distance is quite long and I would say it should be done over 3 to 4 days for more relaxed hike , however for most people work interferes and one tries to fit in over 2 days . But I would recommend the south eastern part of Wilson prom as the water/mountains are quite intoxicating. Thank you again 🙏
@@youradventure0710Thanks fir the information .
Thanks for the video , will need to visit with the family 😊
Thanks for the video , great place to visit for a day , even snow in winter I remember 👌
I have always enjoy visiting Grampians , thanks for the reminder 😊
Wonderful place and one can see wombats and other animals thank you 😊
Robert ,uwielbiam wszystkie twoje filmiki ,ten jest wyjątkowy i ty tez jesteś moim wyjątkowym kumplem <3
Thank you kindly 😘
What a place , amazing colours thanks for sharing 😊
Not an easy one. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us !
You are very right , it takes time and if I was to do it again I would make sure I fly from Melbourne to Hobart the day before and leave the day after , otherwise it’s tight timewise and logistics of picking up and dropping a car hire , enjoy it as it’s unforgettable experience and the rain adds to the mystique of the place 😊
Yup, I turned around at that steep bit where they had to climb sideways along the rock wall. Wasn't sure how to do it safely.
@@jamesrowlands8971 it makes it tricky when it’s wet which I guess it usually is , some of the yoga fans in our group were better prepared 😊
Nice 👍. Thanks for the effort and sharing. We’re heading that way soon.
West coast is amazing and probably expect any type of conditions , but as we saw following rain it produces amazing mists and vistas , breathtaking, completely different from the mainland, enjoy it as it’s quite an unforgettable experience 😊
Looks epic , Oh Gity no harm done 😅 but wow one needs to watch themselves and not just from snakes , torture but a great video 👍
Looks like an epic trip with beautiful European looking mountains , bit of a slog but great views funny video haha 😂
Great video and wow what a big group 😳 well done to all especially the little kiddies 👌
Looks pretty easy , very nice camping ground , good music 👍
Thank you 🙏
Looks pretty scary in points but well done to all 👍
I went there and it was sunny out there. I like the place, it was like heavan
Thanks for dropping by , yes you are right it’s heaven and one of the most beautiful places in Victoria if not in Australia , thank you rob
Loved the video! What time of year did you do this walk???
Thank you , we did it over 4 days at Easter, two days it rained albeit not heavy and 2 days good weather , when we finished and started packing gear into the van the rain came down heavily. The week before the whole area was under snow , it’s really spectacular and I would do it again .
Great hike, looks wonderful. Beautiful nature. Hello from South Africa.
Thank you for dropping by , South Africa in many respects very similar to Australia , I visited in the past and love your wonderful nature 😊
