Canberra 4x4 - The Cotter
We explore the forest and pine plantations just south of the cotter dam along Paddys River Rd. On a clear day you can get some really nice views of the Dam itself, as well as Bullen Range. We found a few fun sections and also returned to some areas that had changed quite a lot since we had last been there. We finished the arvo on one of the steeper climbs but it went a bit pear shaped in the wet and slippery conditions which left us winching into the early evening.

4WDing around Cotter Dam, Canberra Aug 2013
Just a short video to show some of the 4WDing around the Cotter Dam area near Canberra, Australia. Mostly in the area between Paddys RIver Road and the Murrumbidgee River. Shot using GoPro 3s on various mounts.
Cotter Camp Ground
30 minutes spent at our favourite spot on the Cotter River. We usually fish there using artificial Berkley Gulp Salmon Eggs.
Fourie Family Travels Orroral Valley, Canberra, Australia
The Fouries went on their biggest adventure yet. 5 days through the Australian outback! This video is the trip condensed into a day.
Starting at Yankee Hat in Namadgi National park we walked through rendezvous creek. Here we camped in the frost hollow before crossing into nursery creek the next morning. From here we followed the swamp into the stunning Orroral valley. The Orroral valley is home to hundreds of kangaroos which were all carrying beautiful joeys, well 50% of them were. After a beautiful night we attempted to climb to legoland. This short climb of about 300 vertical meters took us nearly 4 hours. Dense bush, thorns and huge boulders hampering us at every turn!
We filled up with enough water for the next 2 days, around 14 litres and headed onto honey suckle. As you approach honey suckle the kangaroos thin out and you start to see more wallabies. Smaller but less timid and so you can get much closer. The final full day was a long trek to the saddle of Mount Tennent. Another of trail adventure took us to the summit where we camped and watched the sun go down from the top of a huge boulder. The next morning, we watched the sunrise from Mount Tennent before heading down the mountain and back to Outward Bound base camp.
It was a stunning trip made possible with the help of the wonderful people at Outward Bound.
Cotter River Fishing
Nice morning on the Cotter but no fish. I managed to drown my phone but recovered it by leaving it on the car dashboard in the sun for a couple of hours.
Cotter campground！
I got a Chinese BBQ in Cotter campground yesterday. And I played my drone in this area, very nice place. The funny thing that was my done touched the electric line and fell down to the land and Vas ( vlog maker) found it and made a video about the air crash. Anyway, in bush Canberra, the cotter campground is worth to come!
