before you start the track drop tyre  pressures down to 10psi and you will walk through it , saves flogging the guts out of your 4wd

  Probably do-able but would be nice to have a mate in front for a quick snatch if necessary in a couple of spots.
Hmmm, now what am I doing the week that Weeds goes up?
Maybe a week on Fraser & then back to Carlo for the 2015 meet.
All I have to do is talk the wife into towing the camper to Carlo ;D

You will smash it Weeds. Get the wife and kids out to watch and hit it  flat out. The hilux will eat it up. If not I'll bring the kluger up and help you out.

Who'll tow the tinnie up if go to Fraser?

Actually, you could drop it off here on your way through...  food for thought.

Have only ever needed to go to 10 PSI twice on Fraser about ten years apart , once at Indian head and the other at Ngkala, Both times in the hotter months and running solo and not towing in an under powered Diahatsu petrol Rocky..

Seriously, if you did do Fraser before the Nat Meet, I have a client with a lock up shed we could store the tinnie in for ya.

Thanks Jeepers. After discussions over a couple of ales with Broncos11 on Fraser last week I might be bringing 2 boats now so I won't be making Fraser in September.

On my last trip there we camped north of Orchid and also Sandy Cape itself. If the cape is a 9 outta 10 then north of Orchid is a good 7.5 to 8. As a bonus it just gives you more options like described by the others above

My pootroll did all the tracks at 16PSI and Indian head at 14PSI with the the camper in tow.
