My wife and I arrived home yesterday stuffed after driving around for six hours and cutting and clearing more than thirteen trees. Some had to be sawed more than five times .
However the trip rating is the normal hard side of medium. The tracks are medium and the hard sections have bypass tracks. Some of the other tracks have overgrowth but won't be extensive. Will be a good medium trip so good tyers and locked diffs if you have them if not be prepared for a couple of runs at the hills. Should be a good cruzy day now that most of the trees are cut!
Cheers Luke P.

Well, that was a really good day (for those of us with running cars).

Turned out a little bit easier than expected as the tracks had dried a fair bit after 10 days without rain. This was actually OK, if it had been wet it might have been more ordeal than fun. The wetter bits were generally drivable, only found one spot with some small step ups that I needed a tow over. Logs over the tracks were the biggest problem, but a chainsaw and a cool little axe kept us going whilst making us fitter. Also not a good trip if like scratch free paint.

Spent a bit of time exploring (aka, driving around in circles and back tracking when the road was found to go no further), watching tadpoles in a dam, tracking deer and marveling at the speed and grace of Luke when he almost stepped on a tiger snake.

And don't make Martin official photographer, he'll miss your moment of glory.
