Hey Allen

Welcome to newhilux

[Alby]

Welcome mate.

Have a good look around , there is plenty of information here.

Welcome aboard,

What part of Sydney are you from?

[Rivenscyr]

Im around the epping/carlingford area

So yea, our plans so far are to travel up to northern queensland in late jan and then in march go to the red centre.

Cannot wait for this horrid hsc to be over haha

[lmichie]

How far North are you planning when you say North Queensland in January as it is the wet season so a lot or the roads are closed at that time of year.

Don't worry too much about the HSC, it only gets worse from there after

When you do get your 4B it's probably worth getting some training before you take on too much. A lot of 4WD clubs do training that is as good as if not better than the courses you pay $$$ for.

Yea I saw that during my reading of other peoples trips, Its not to far north, just to do some nice sand driving on their beaches up there. I used to go to anna bay with the family in our Mitsu Pajero so im keen to get back into the dunes.

Defiently going to get some 4wd training, its a dangerous activity and I'll need all the training and skills i absorb haha.

Don't go to Nth QLD for beach driving, a dugong might tear an axle out
