I will start by saying, if anyone gets a chance to do a trip with these guys, you gotta do it !!!!!
We turned up with basically nothing, were given lodgings( thx Mr and Mrs Silver). We were welcomed by everyone and we had a great time. The 'hire car' and 'silver slug' did almost everything everyone else did. Scotty is a great organizer and I would even follow him. He and Dhuck aRe a credit to this forum, their families are warm and welcoming and everyone else we met were also great. So thank you to everyone who helped us out and was a absolute pleasure to meet you all.
Even the 'cruiser man' is impressed with you all.
No pics from me, cos I don't have the technology ATM.
Oh, and if Dhuck mentions anything about me and ciggies, it's not true !!!
( honest)
U GUYS ROCK !!!
(go the hire car !)

Hey guys,
I cant believe I missed out on such a great weekend and I got as close as Jimna just to find one of my tyres being flat and my spare being a piece of junk. I got so frustrated but thanks to a local guy named Russ or Ross cant quite remember ( he has truly been a legend and helped me as good as he can, lives on the same road as the visitor center), who gave me a hand I could at least make it back home that day. I went back to Kilcoy and the local 4x4 wrecker put a lot of effort into organizing a new tyre without luck as it was past 3pm by then.
But thats life I guess, NEXT TIME !!!
Hope everyone had a great weekend and thank you Scotty for pre-organising the catch up and sorry for not making it, i was close...
I have Maxxis 751, I heard they are not the greatest tyres, but they suit my budget better than anything else. I have a deep cut in the sidewall of the back right hand tyre, must have hit something sharp, I do not know but I heard the sidewall is the weak spot of those tyres, anyways no whinging I still enjoyed the drive between Mba and Jimna hehe
I learned my lesson on the first trip with the Patrol, always carry a decent spare tyre with you and if you can, take another one!
cheers chris
We have Maxxis 751s - they seem to do the job on the bitumen wet or dry, and I don't have a lot to compare them with off road apart from other all terrain tyres, and they seem to stack up ok in that category.
I think you were just unlucky Chris, and sorry to have missed you.
Photo's please Silver.
Tony
