- The second instalment of our Ultimate High Country adventure we head 'off country' into the Howqua River area and check out the BIGGEST SNOWGUM and some iconic High Country Huts on the way. Our IVECO DAILY ULTRA TOURER TRUCK CAMPER is right at home on the mountain tracks. We wind our way across the GREAT DIVIDING RANGE and enjoy spectacular views at every bend. We explore an underground river and learn of the history and the pioneers that opened up this great country.

Thanks Paul very good...
Another great episode. Thoroughly enjoyed it and looking forward to the next one. 👍
Awesome, thank you!
Love everything you do.
Thank you
Thank you so much!
Nice job Paul as always 👍
Good old VHC at its finest- it never gets old does it mate! The views at King Billy -you could sit for dayssss!
How many litres diesel does the Iveco carry?
As usual, the history and knowledge is top notch, look forward to the next one 👍
James
Fuel economy varies between 14L/100km - 20L/100km...depending on terrain.
Thanks for your feedback James...appreciated.
@@PaulBrookerJOURNi cheers Paul. How many litres on board the Iveco?
Just shy of 200 litres.
@@PaulBrookerJOURNi awesome range mate!!!! , is that stock Iveco tank? It gets some real decent economy considering its weight and 37s etc
Standard tank is 90 litre and after market Brown Davis is meant to be 120 litres...although to get that much in it I'd need to be parked leaning away from bowser and overfill it!
I like your truck if I was younger and still pumping out the hours I would of brought one instead of the Nissan ute 4x4
Yep I think myself and the healer would of loved it
Never too late?
Yes I’m over 70 and had enough spent my younger years in the Pilbara working in the mines
Great episode Paul. Well done. Have been subscribed for a while and enjoy your content. I may be wrong but I suspect scouting may be a past activity. (Ex scout by many many years myself). 👍
What gives you that idea...and you are correct! Did the full tour - it set the direction for my life JOURNi!
Good job. I’ve been to Bluff hut, Lovicks and Bindaree a number of times, but never along the lower Howqua. With a little luck I’ll get a chance next October - November. Probably come in from Mansfield, then along the Howqua, Upper Jamieson, then south to Licola. What was that piece of music playing when you showed Fry’s Hut? I’d like to hear some more of that. Enjoyed the external details of the - nicely done. Chris.
Chris - I have updated the video description to include the music playlist (and links)...hope this helps.
Love your blogs, the scenery you show and the commentary is insightful and informative. Having recently entered into the sphere of being an Iveco Daily owner I love that you share some of the idiosyncrasies of the vehicle and its handling over the varied terrains that you cover. Interested in what tyre pressures you were running whilst travelling the Refrigerator track and the other "tracks" you were driving on?. ...
Thanks for the great feedback - greatly appreciated.
I tend to run about 30-35 PSI in this type of country and down to 20 PSI (or less) in the sand. In the previous video I probably should have gone down to 20-25 as I was still scrabbling...I think I would have climbed the
jump-up with correct pressures. All the best with your IVECO JOURNi!
Thanks Paul for your feedback greatly appreciated and look forward to more of your tours and informative dialogue! Cheers & safe travels
Another inspirational Vid Paul. One day i'll get our Iveco on the VHC tracks. Noticed on the close-up, when you were talking about the Low Ratio Gearing (Gearing is one of the best features of the Daily) you had the No:1 diff lock engaged. Is this something you would recommend on these steep tracks ?
I usually engage the No 1 (centre) diff lock when on unsealed roads if travelling less than 80km/h. This puts the vehicle into 4WD apposed to AWD and splits the drive across the front and rear axles. On steep loose tracks I will also engage the rear diff lock (No 2)...this prevents the vehicle lurching forward should one of the rear wheels loose traction.
@@PaulBrookerJOURNi Cheers Paul, thanks for confirming the Locker info. On another subject... I don't know if you've heard that Thuraya have pulled the pin on Satellite services into Australia. I know you talked about your Thuraya Phone in the recent Coms Vid. We're heading off on a remote trip very soon and therefore looking for another form of Satellite backup. Noticed you had have a Garmin Montana 700i. Do you rate this unit over and above the smaller inReach units. I reckon the Mapping on the Montana might be a bonus. What your thoughts ??
I certainly rate the Garmin…I have the Montana 750i. It is obviously heavier and bulkier than the inreach mini but the mapping is very good (and handy).
It’s a shame about the Thuraya service…here I was shouting its praises 😩…time to look at the alternatives.
I enjoy your vlogs but not the music. I turn it off when it gets too heavy or annoying. 👍🏻🙏🦘
Is it just the upbeat music ...or all of it?
@@PaulBrookerJOURNi
More the upbeat as it’s not what I listen to out in the bush. But Paul, it’s your channel mate and I’m only one, so keep doing what you prefer cheers.
Thanks Graham…I do appreciate the feedback.
