Default Billy Goat Bluff Track VHC
I am planning to do the Billy Goat Bluff Track in Victorian high Country,wanna know if any other KK has done it before.

I am concerned about bottoming out and also about water crossings.

I am on 2"Lift with 235/70/16 Bridgestone Duller 697 A/T tyres and got skid plates throughout.

I did it 2 weeks ago in the Commander with a 2" lift and 265/50 20s with ATs no problem. We also had a stock std Ford Escape with us. It's been graded and nowhere near as nasty as I've seen it in the past.
Billy Goats doesn't have and crossings itself, but if your coming in from Talbotville you'll do three crossings and the deepest just touched the top of my std front bar.
Keep going onto The Pinnicals too, a terrific view from the fire lookout!

Cheers.

Was no drama in ‘13. Putted my way all the way up in the CRD. Stayed at horse-yard flat.
