George and I had a great day out there, tracks were nice and dry.

I didn't remember to take many photos at all but will upload a couple when I can.

Not sure if George wants me to post the pic of him attempting to roll it though

Caught up with Dan (DSS150) and headed for Cityview on the 4/5. Had a great day, though it was cold.

We went up the slippery slope track though it wasn't slippery lol. All the tracks where dry and then we followed the Goat Track which linked up with Shortcut Lane and headed straight up the mountain and had morning tea there, not before Dan had a couple of attempts getting through this section:-
The view up here was excellent.







After morning tea. we decided to head towards the play area, not before I had a bit of a scary moment. No posting of pics mate on here. Let's just say it took me 45 mins to recover before continuing on. Dan on the other hand had a crack at this after seeing a Cruiser easily get up this section. All wheel placement.

Continued.....





From the play area we kept climbing and stumbled by accident across an extreme track. The Prado's climbed this hill easily with just traction control engaging briefly. If it was wet, you would think twice about attempting the climb. No pics sorry. By then it was closer to 1:00pm and decided to head to camp area 35 and have lunch. This was the highest peak of the park and my favourite spot.







After lunch we just kept exploring various other tracks and by 4:00pm we headed home. I wanted to quickly go to O'Reilly's via Duck Creek Road as my BIL was keen to go. It was his first time hitting the tracks with me and it was a real eye opener for him. Don't know if he will come back again lol. We decided to give O'Reilly's a miss this time.

A big thanks to Dan and his family for a great day out. Hope we have more takers next time guys. I managed to capture more video than pics.

Looks like an enjoyable day boys. Thanks for sharing
Dan how did the shakedown go?

[DSS150 Find all posts View Profile Close DSS150]

Well my photographer for the day got bugger all shots, certainly nothing worth posting.

Gumboot, the Prado was faultless, you'll be surprised to know not even a little rattle.

Took the drawers out yesterday and put a good coat of silastic in and around all the bolt holes and bungs, tedious job but rather be safe than sorry.

So the vehicle is sorted, just the other small stuff to get now and the food etc.
