This is my in cab vision of the second downhill section of Brewery track.

http://youtu.be/rnTf_m1YfgU

Daz did a top job of spotting everyone down and around the ledges and holes.

[BigRAWesty]

So did come out about the handbrake??
Top turn out guys.. I'll be over there soon with ya's.. Soon..

[trekster]

Hey the date on your video is out :p


This looks like a road we have out the back of Coffs called funnily enough "rocky road" incline, close to the edge and loose rocks everywhere :S


Cheers,
Eric.

[Drewboyaus]

Top turn out guys.. I'll be over there soon with ya's.. Soon..

Yes mate. The plan was to use the handbrake. In the previous section it had been so steep that I had my foot on the brake to the firewall and I was still running downhill. Winnie had the same issue.
It just wasn't in the plan to do it in neutral!!!!!

[JonnoD]

I do remember you guys saying that you break problems. Would have been scary! Ben seemed to have the best gearing for the job.

[MudRunnerTD]

So did come out about the handbrake??
Top turn out guys.. I'll be over there soon with ya's.. Soon..

Yeah the concept of using the handbrake on a steep decent is to apply it softly so it is just grabbing and this adds drag to you drive shaft on a Patrol farther than your rear brakes and encourages better engine braking. The cars felt really settled going down there and most people did the second stage without massive brake fade.

Was a great track.

[MudRunnerTD]

Had a huge weekend. Thursday to Sunday was great. Thanks to everyone for a bloody great trip. And special thanks to the I tear staters who each made a huge effort to get to this Meetup.

The boys are camping another night at Knockwood before heading home tomorrow.

[Bloodyaussie]

I had a look on Ericas phone and she took heaps of video and quite a few pics so will load them later also.. Now I have to get ready and drive to AB's to pick up Lucas and drop him off at the airport.

Thanks again Jonathan:-)

What a sexy man.
And that's mego coming down under full lights

[AB]

These trips get better and better gents!!!!

Thanks to everyone for a ripper weekend, thanks to the interstaters in making the effort to come down and thanks to Dazz for trip leading, direction and advice to the members!!!

Shame to be back home now, could of stayed weeks up there...lol

[taslucas]

Yes id like to thank everyone for an awesome weekend. A massive thanks to you Winnie for picking me up and letting me co pilot the 747 and eat balls...... Thanks for the hospitality AB, without you none if us would have been there. Thankyou Jonathan for the lift back to the airport. Thanks George for the spin in the RX. Thanks Darren for the leadership and ofcourse that mega steep rock track! Thanks liftlid for showing me a lebanese slingshot hahaha! Thankyou everyone for the laughs and good times, I'll remember this for a long time. Halfway through a beer and half hour till my flight.

Till next time:-)

[matfew]

I have to agree was a killer weekend had a ball every single minute. i too was tempted to go missing 'lost for weeks' in the high country is a awesome place lets hope we can continue to go there for many years to come.

I do have some pics but bloody go pro played up and got bugger all video before i was flat.

Will get them up soon.

[Winnie]

I had such an amazing weekend, and as AB said they get better and better each time. I stayed an extra night there with Ben, Nic and Todd and apart from the rain we had a great night.

I was driving through thick snow on the way home today!

Thanks to everyone for coming, especially Ben, Nic, Todd and Lucas, what a huge effort from you guys (except Lucas, he had it easy).
I had a ride in Ben's ute.... I liked it a lot. It's one thing to see the flex photos and to read about how powerful it is but it is different to experience it. I jumped in with him to go up one track that only Ben and Darren attempted, so it was pretty hardcore. Woooooow I like Benny's ute! It was unreal, that is a whole different world of 4WDing to what I am used to and I like it! Then he took me for a ride on the road and woooooooow I like Benny's ute!

I'll post my photos later but I did not get a lot.

Hey Matty,

Mate you were mentioned many times over the weekend and sorely missed.

On Friday Arvo out of Woodspoint I took Bene on a magical mystery tour down a rarely used river track that crossed the river maybe 20 times. Could not wipe the smile off his face. He said you'd have to come and see it next time for sure.

Look forward to it bud

[Winnie]

Ben showed me his Gopro footage from that track Darren, looked awesome!
Yeah Matt, spewing you could not make it!

How was the camp site guys? Great choice Darren what a pearler!

[Ben-e-boy]

I'm Back at Mum and Dads now. Thanks everyone for the trip. It was was great to catch up with everyone and meet our overseas visitor, who left their glenfiddic behind :D.

So far I have done over 3200km

I had a great time. It was well worth the drive. Its a great part of the country and will definatly do it again. The best part was that the weather was great, and I did get to play on the rocks :) a nice steep rutted rock hill climb. Made me feel right at home

I have some pics and a few vids, I will post them up tomorrow

Thanks again gents.

[rusty_nail]

Hi guys will write up properly tomorrow but thanks a lot for an awesome weekend. I'm home now clean and exhausted off to bed.

We had a good fire on Sunday night

[Bloodyaussie]

I already want to organise another trip...LOL !!!!!

As usual my head is in the clouds of the high country and having landed back on earth is not meshing well with me.

Oh to be a Winnie who can just bugger off when he feels like with no kids or commitment or mortgage.

Any way glad our interstate boys made it back safe (Benny still has a bit more to go) so good to see you guys... want to arrange a small trip to Tas where maybe we take one car over between two people and share the cost.. who knows?

I have some more pics to upload and will do so soon.

Thanks Roofy for the Venison it was yummy, Margherita and I had it last night.

I managed to get many a man hug but I think some of that was trying to find the mystery stinker........ shower in a can for gods sake!!!!!!!!! ha ha ha!!!

Back to work today removing ficus from a 2 storey building in Armadale...... boo hoo!!!

[Winnie]

How did every body like my balls? Aren't they great!

[Alitis007]

It was good to catch up with everyone and to meet new members and to put faces to names. Even tho i came late on saturday had a good laugh and a good drive on sunday. Till next time !!

Thanks guys for an awesome weekend, very much enjoyed and it was good 2 put faces to names.

Will try and get some blurry pics up later, Have to go work on the comohore now, got 30mins from home last night and the ABS light, Check engine light, Airbag light, started dancing on and off with each other. I'm guessing its something electrical and think the battery has also shat itself. Fun and games

Jonathan, I'm really disappointed I never got a punch in the neck and hug from you!!!!

An extra big thanks 2 Nic for letting me go shotgun, without his offer I wouldn't of made it down there

[liftlid]

I got so much ball juice on my jumper

Yep there it is!

I am still laughing about the Lebo slingshot.... bahahaha! Sneaky sneaky!

I am still laughing about the Lebo slingshot.... bahahaha! Sneaky sneaky!

Yep that was definitely a good laugh. You said it over the radio and I thought ???what??? Lucas, dead set one of the funniest blokes I have ever met

[Winnie]

Funniest thing was George telling stories on Saturday night. I told him about Gary's sneaky little overtake and he was like..... yeah that's a thing. the lebo slingshot!

[JonnoD]

Lol I am still not adjusted yet. I keep thinking about my 4b in the drive thinking I could prob just call in sick and go hit some more tracks. But unfortunately I am at work having to talk to customers :-(

Thats exactly like a lebo ferrari ( nissan z32 300zx) big, loud, as fast as a tractor and during a street race you've left it for dead by a couple of car lengths after your 1/4 mile run so you back off and get overtaken at warp speed and your like " mate the race ended 100 meters ago......." = lebo slingshot :D

That's classic
Though in my defence, who stop's a race half way up a hill???

[Winnie]

The two tracks had joined up and I was in front, we weren't expecting you to come shooting up the side of the track!

Ok guys Here we go.

Here is the first pic from the very start of my trip. I still had about 50L stil on board

It was a bloody long drive polishing off 2100km before the weekend even started.

On Friday we took the scenic drive to camp. Stopping in Marysville was a bit of an eye opener, it"s good to see rebuilding underway I hope it stays untouched this year

I quickly found out that 85% reduction gears don't work well in the high country, always changing from 4L to 4H.

Well here is about the only vid I took worthwhile posting. I got one of the Army track water crossing I will get up a bit later. Thought I would get this up for benny now though.


This is a vid of you going back down and up the steep climb mate. I still can't believe how easy it done it. AMAZING machine and a huge credit to you mate. LOTS of time and EFFORT gone into that truck.

[Bloodyaussie]

His truck does not show how tough that hill really was....... it was frickin steep for those that were not there... only he and Daz went up it and then Benny went back down and back up again!!!

His truck looks like a bloody shitty farm ute with the other tyres then you put the muds on and it is transformed... truly is a beast.

[Ben-e-boy]

His truck looks like a bloody shitty farm ute with the other tyres.

Haha. Just the way Iike it. Did any one take a photo with the road tyres on?

[Bloodyaussie]

Sorry Benny no clear shots but there were heaps more pics by other..

Here is the Video of that hill climb.. last January I got a front wheel launching in the air but this time with the locker it was all to easy!!!

I've got one looking through a cracked windscreen Benny *LMAO*

I've think I've got a few from behind, not sure if I have any side on shots with the roadies on. I'm trying to get them all up on photobucket but my lappy keeps overheating and shutting down :(

Hey Sorry Drew,

Happy to give you directions via pm or take you there nest time we are up that way. Keen to limit the traffic there so it remains as it is for as long as possible. Its Paradise.

FANTASTIC WORK PEOPLES
Really really great onyas

[Ben-e-boy]

I genuinely enjoyed that trip.

[taslucas]

I genuinely enjoyed that trip.

Either that or you were doing one hell of a job faking it! Lol.


I genuinely enjoyed it also:-)


And Winnie, I'm getting on my bike this arvo so I can shut up about it now haha

[rusty_nail]

ok, finally at a computer and with some time to type this up.

First off I would like to thank all who were involved in organising this trip, without all your time and contributions this would not have happened.

I thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing, the drive down wasnt that too bad with todd in the car and ben-e on the radio to talk to, although i dont know how ben does without a radio, he's pretty keen.

To everyone that made it out there, it was an absolute pleasure hanging out, couldnt have put together a better bunch of blokes, everyone got along well and no one tried to be a hero... pretty rare in a group of 17ish blokes.

The tracks were amazing, it was sad when we were clouded in at the top of Mount Terrible, i reckon the views would have been spectacular, but I guess that is just more reason to come back again!

Over all the who trip was one of my favourite trips in a long time, i was very relaxed by the end of it and could have stayed another week if time permitted.

I'm really looking forward to the next trip (maybe ill make it to the middle but still unsure as yet).

a selection of photos are below:

Not worried, just disappointed in myself, I was using manual focus for 99% of my photo's and some I just didn't focus right........maybe I should wear my glasses!

And yeh I know some will say just use auto focus, but for some reason I prefer manual.

Mate let me know what photo's you want and I will send you the originals to print from, will be better print quality with originals

Cheers

Was it running on all 6 when it left the water?

Didn't miss a beat.....though I expected it might have had a couple of dramas but one at all.
It's been bloody well sealed up though.
WD40 sprayed into all connections quite regularly.

I can't believe no one has told the story of my Saturday night dinner!!!

Picture this gents...

I had a beautiful steak with marble all through it, paid a fortune for it as a camping treat. Put it on my seat at the fire and heated the fry Pan on the fire.

Turnaround......steak gone???

Next minute, johnos bloody dog is eating my steak. Beautiful dog, great owner but I saw red, wound my foot up ready to kick the crispy ass end of this mutt for a six and realised it is not my dog and verbally abused the bloody mongrel.

This steak was the best cut I found in east Melbourne as a special treat and u cannot believe what I just saw!!!

[Winnie]

I believe it... It was funny!

[taslucas]

It was just a bit of dirty old king island carcus

If it was my steak the dog would not have survived but as it was not mine I find it bloody funny.

[megatexture]

Don't worry that happened to me also, we had some steak burgers and i was sitting down holding my plate about to grab it to stuff my face and a kookaburra flew down and ripped the steak out of the bun from on my lap! I threw a tent peg at it as it flew a way the bastard lol. Now I'm like a hawk and never leave the BBQ or food specially if there are lots of birds about

[Bloodyaussie]

The mongrel also got a full plate of spring rolls... my daughter ate 2 of them before they vanished!!!!

Yesterday my Missus finally noticed all the scratches and marked that have been hidden under mud spray from travelling behind a truck after I washed all the mud off.
So I got some scratch and mark remover yesterday and surprisingly most are not that deep. But I did only try a few spots, she is a little happier now she thinks they will all come out.

[BigRAWesty]

Damn Lucas. More interested in filming my car flood and laughing then helping...lol

That's why I bought a white Patrol, can hardly notice the scratches but there is plenty of them.
