Yeah i know i am to blame i was just caught up in it.. having only had the truck for a few months and very minimal offroad driving experience i thought "ah yeah she be right mate my truck'll get through that"... how wrong i was ah well, it was all experience and now my shopping list has grown with a winch, new tires, compressor and some 4x4 lessons right on top. Maybe a bit of forward thinking and some planning for the next trip might not go astray either

I'm sure that I heard somewhere that the VAFWDC is trying to implement a ratings system with parks whereby some tracks would be marked in a fashion similar to ski-runs. You would have green tracks, blue tracks and black tracks. I think they may be implementing this soon.
The idea is that then parks will be able to keep some of the more difficult tracks open as their liability will be reduced by marking the tracks as potentially dangerous.

This is correct. It has been aproved by both the DSE and Parks Vic. Some of the great things about this is that it takes some of the liability away from the land managers. Also the plan is that black tracks remain black tracks etc. So the tracks dont get graded to a 2WD standard.
