Damn, I wish I had have gone with you guys. I got to the turn off at Mareeba about 10.45 and hit Danbulla Road about 12.00. It was a scenic but easy track, Kauri Creek Road is a bit tighter and rougher.
We had lunch at the hang gliding lookout above the Gillies and was home by 2.30.
Where's 7 Hills? Looks like an excellent track.
2 flat tyres in one day, that's the last time I drive into Naval Stores.
Thanks to all the guys who turned out for a great day. The seven hills excursion was a blast, paticularly seeing Joey's back right rear a foot off the deck and his whole rig in iminent danger of turning turtle. A short winch restored his equalibrium. Will post photos ASAP.
Cheers
Kev
PS Joey, I put a scratch on it - same place as yours.
Awesome stuff you blokes! 8) I would have loved to be there with you guys. I just got back from the cape trip yesterday and I'm pleased to say it was a great trip and the Prado did it all including gunshot with ease.

Hi Gang,
Well done Guys, great pics, well done Crammy, Gee Gunshot looks half respectable in that shot, I gave it a miss last time many years ago as it was about 20foot deep straight down and had a Troopy nose first into the mud at the bottom, poor bugger.
Had a weekend of pruning :x :x :x
