Toby was making tracks for Victoria 's famous high country.

He headed for Mt Buller, about 230kms north-east of Melbourne .

And he did it in a new Toyota Kluger - which had some real grunt.

The new 3.5L VVTi engine has 200 kilowatts of power, which makes it the most powerful non-turbo vehicle in its class. So you can be sure the Kluger is one seriously quick SUV.

But he wasn't in that big a hurry. Before he climbed to the snowline, he checked out a popular Victorian waterway, Lake Nillahcootie .

'Nillahcootie' is an Indian word meaning 'Blue House'.

The lake is famous for its carp, redfin and yellowbelly, and it also happens to be a favourite haunt of gun fly-fisher Geoff Hall.

Geoff agreed to give Toby what you might call the dummies' guide to fly fishing.

Geoff explained that what you want to do is produce a wave of energy from the rod that passes all the way down the line and lays everything outflat, so that the leader is fully extended.

Toby may have mastered the cast, but the fish weren't fooled. They knew he was a novice and they were lying low.

So it was time for Toby to hit the high road.

And round those parts, the high road had ice and snow on it.

Thankfully the Kluger just devoured the slippery stuff.

Obviously traction is the key when driving in icy conditions, and downhill assist control takes a lot of guesswork out of steep, slippery slopes, by automatically braking for you.

It was a pity Toby's snowboard didn't have a similar feature!

Mt Buller has 80km of trails over 263 hectares.

Mt Buller is just 3hrs drive from Melbourne and has the largest vertical drop in Victoria , making it popular with Melbournians and within easy reach for everybody else.
