Fraser - my son and his Zook

Precisely…. I spent almost ten times the price of his car on my accessories… Did I have more fun…. Nope. hehehe

I will. Thanks Stu.
We fitted front and rear recovery hooks before we left… didn’t need them.

You probably won't need them recovery hooks. Those little trucks float over just about everything. Speaking of floating they do float down rivers really well. Speaking from experience.

Ultimate embarrasment for me a few years ago was having a friends zook (same model as your sons) having to pull my Hilux out of the Haunted stream in the Vic high country. Her zook went straight across the other side & when I tried to follow her I got hung up on the rear step of the Lux. Bugger!

Cheers

My first car was a LJ80.... Loved it!

i've just got off the phone with a mate who was on Fraser over xmas - newyear. said he got up to Sandy Cape, but the Northern Rocks were a real struggle and heaps of people were getting caught up on thier diffs etc. he has a 3" lifted Patrol and dented up his side steps and said the drop down to the beach after the rocks had him on a massive lean that he thought may tip him over. mate said they had to build the track up with logs to get the other vehicles down it, but said when he came back to that same spot, it had a heap of sand there, so maybe someone else did more work to it after they got through.
from what i can work out, there was a big water hole in the Indian Head bypass track (i think that's where he was talking about from what i could work out), that claimed atleast half a dozen vehicles as they tried to drive through it. i am hoping he will have pics or that someone else can verify what he was saying, just so i know he isn't B.S ing me....lol

don't need confirmation anymore, i have since seen pics on another forum, and i can see why it claimed a few vehicles.
some people need to realise what depth their vehicles can go through water before the air intake is effected, or invest in a snorkel.

G’day Sid,
Didn’t go as far as the North Ngkala Rocks or Sandy Cape. Been there many times before and this time I just wanted to take my son over the southern rocks which was recently washed away. I can post a photo of the new track if anyone wants to see it. Sorry, I can’t comment on the cape’s accessibility.

Rumpig,
The holes you refer to aren’t at the Indian Head bypass, they are at Waddy Point. There’s a new warning sign as you approach the beach and there are plenty of opportunities to negotiate around the holes. The sign warns that the holes are deep and there’s no reason they can’t be avoided.

Cheers,
Myles

I beleive this hole is different place, from what i'm hearing it was at Indian Head..

QUOTE... "I went through there on the 27th & the big puddle wasn't there. Went through there a day or two later & it was"

below are some pics copied from another forum, i'm not sure who took them, but i'm pretty sure it's Indian Head, that's what they are saying to me.

There is a park alert for Indian Head, saying bonnet deep water. Get help from experienced 4wders if you wish to cross.

Rumpig,
That’s certainly a completely different look to what we experienced at Indian Head. The quote states it wasn’t there on the 27th… we left on the 26th. It’s amazing how quickly thinks change up there after rain. There were even major changes to the inland tracks from one day to the next as there was a lot of rain before Christmas. There were major storms just after we left as well. I've never seen so much water across the inland tracks as I did this trip. I’ve seen Eli Creek running to the north one day and to the south the next.
Cheers,
Myles.

G’day Dunworkin,
My daughter’s partner has sold his SS Holden Ute…. They are replacing it with something they can follow us with…. They want us to do Fraser again next Christmas so they can join us…. sounds beaut to me.
Myles.
