can't join you guys this time. enjoy the trip. wait for trip report.
I currently are stuck in fighting time to return a poor engineering winch bull bar back to Tigerz11 store which they posted on Ebay as a fully compatible winch bar for Prado 90s. I paid $$$ then only to find out that I had an in-completed bull bar with extremely bad design, very bad quality lamps for signal and fog lights (moisture comes into the lights quickly) and no responsibility in term of quality and design.James

OK, what a day. We all had a lot of fun starting with meeting at Richmond at a balmy 2 deg and we had 4 x 150's and a 90. We then drove to the Zig Zag carpark and enroute I had the aural pleasure of being overtaken by a Maserati in the overtaking lane just before the speed camera and the boot was planted and yes it was worth winding down the window for. It sounded so much better the than the SS that followed shortly after, even the Highway patrol thought so and was talking to the SS on the side of the road a little later on, bummer.
After looking at the frost covered ground we all arrived at the car park and aired down. We followed a fairly standard route, Happy Valley with ice covered puddles, Wombat Holes and Diff buster. All were a little wet and soft after the recent precipitation and the greenies would be saddened to know that a tree had fallen over and we did stop and give our condolences.
From there we followed Ryan out to another viewing point of The Lost City, lots of fun, plenty of water holes to drive through and arrived to have a beautiful view and warm sunny place for lunch. On the trip back out we took a track we had bypassed on the way in, very nice, challenging and fun climb back up. As we continued and kept following the track, we found another set of wombat holes that tested everyone’s articulation and ability to balance on two wheels.
Next challenge Ryan had for us, was the track up to Moon Rock. We walked it, damn slippery, decided on a plan and Ryan gave a good go but slippery won. We decided muddies may have more success and they did. My attempt went better than we expected and I very successfully passed all the spotters and had to run on memory (which needs an upgrade) and almost got through in one go and finished up stuck but did follow the original plan.
After we had a few goes at getting out, everyone decided they would drive around and would winch me from the top, they did assure me they would come back when it dried out. Ryan did come back and drove down and a very quick and short winch and all was good. We had a bit more fun driving out from here and made it.
By now the sun was lowering almost as fast as the temperature, so we headed out to air up and say our farewells till next time.
Video uploading, should be ready tomorrow.Last edited by DGW; 09-06-2012, 10:30 PM.[B]Dave[/B] - 2010 Silver GXL Prado 150 TD Manual.Comment

Great trip Ryzz...appreciate you organising. Great fun for all.
DGW....you did well! If it had not gone sideways a bit I reckon you would have made it to the top and looked down upon us mere mortals
