QLD Trip/Gathering Report - Borumba deer park Imbil

Good on you Pezza. We had a great time at Fraser while you were at Imbil.
Glad a few of you got along and got to know each other.
We'll try to get to the next SE Qld gathering.

Don't you hate that, I beat you by three posts. But you said it better than me, even though we share the same sentiments.
Thanks heaps for a great weekend.
Regards Trevor.

oh heck, I will just copy and paste my reply to here also! I looked Perry and your thread was gone, must have been when you were moving it to the gathering report!

Well I have to say, that Mark and I had a fantastic time these last 4 days, just a pity all things have to end and we must return to work in order to pay for the next gathering!
We really had a wonderful time with great people who now aren't just names on a forum but friends and driving buddies also.
And as for having been in the owners of the 4wd fraternity since December 21st, it was one of the best moves we ever made... and I must say of my husband, he really did perform and you'd of thought he'd been 4wd'ing for years! he was remarkably impressive.. (at least we got that Hill climb on Perrys camera to prove it!!!) I cannot wait to see that!
Mary River Rattler... that is great Trev! he felt so embarrassed...but at least I now have back up!!!
So we will definately have to have an easter get together! any others in on that one?

i went there a few yrs ago for a work camp thinge, it has great 4wd tracks there but it sucked i was the only one that had a 4wd (long wheel base MQ)*shudders

Hi all,

We had a great weekend, thanks to all who were there who made it that way. Special thanks to Perry for organising it.

Some photos here imbil state forest

(hope that works as I have not posted a link on here before)

The only excuse I have for not getting to the top of the hill was tyres :). Dropped them to 25lb, all spin, no go. Then after Bob in the X90 got to the top there was no way I was staying at the bottom, so down to 20lb, lots of load pedal, and we made it up. At least it did take Bob a couple of goes though :).

I had seen a report in the past from Truckster that the Dick Cepek FCII tyres had struggled in the Vic High country once the tread filled with mud but until now I had not tried them in mud. I have been very happy with them on sand, dry dirt and bitumen but now I know to drop the pressure much lower to start with.

The night run was something different. It's interesting going over bloody big drainage humps while going up a steep hill in the dark with no idea what's on the other side.

Just wish we could have been there for the four days instead of just one and a bit.

Looking forward to the next one!!!!

Tim.
