I have my Prado booked in to get it's DRIFTA Drawer system fitted up by Beechy and his team at DRIFTA at Gloucester NSW on Monday July 8. Whilst I could have had the drawers freighted up to Brisbane and installed them myself, I thought I would take the drive down to pay the Barrington Tops National Park a quick visit at the same time.
The plan is as follows
Would've loved to have taken longer and had a few days to take in the area but presently we are a 1 car family so I cant be away any longer than a couple of days. My brother is riding shotgun with me so his car will be available for SWMBO to drive in our absence...
So the plan is to make the most out of the Sunday and see the best of Barrington Tops!
Our Sunday tour will be very similar to that of Matt's Trip(LiveFreeAndRoam), and head off from Gloucester to Barrington Tops Forest Rd and do the following tracks that I pulled down from 4x4earth website.
The first track appears to be an easy drive and following the recent weather will be a good way to gauge the current conditions following this weeks weather. The track is called Tugalow-Trail and is classed on the website as Moderate
The second track is called Paddys Ridge Trail and Butchers Swamp Road and I think this is the same track that LFAR did on his trip. Again classed as a Moderate track with some very muddy sections
From here (if we get out in time), we'll head down to Moonan Flat and of course have a cold one at the Local before heading back to Gloucester on the BT Forest Rd to thaw out and hose ourselves and the Prado down before presenting it to DRIFTA for the fit out the next morning.
Looks like it's going to be a cracka and I'm now really looking forward to this little trip!
I invite anyone in the area to join me for the day to show me around. It'd be great to meet some of the Pradopoint members from this area. Also if any SEQ Crew members have a spare couple of days next weekend and want to join me for the road trip, you're more than welcome!
If anyone has any trip notes or other useful info on the Barrington Tops area, I'd appreciate the info, so please let me know or post it up here.
