Hi Guy's,
This is my first time trying to organise a trip so don't shoot me if I'm doing it wrong.
Where Zig Zag Railway, Clarence
When 14/06/2014
Meet Railway station carpark
Time 9am
Requirements -- recovery points Front/Rear, recovery gear, radio, food/drink of choice, camera, torch.
Enquires: 0416 259 669. Also in case you are running late or can't come at last minute.

I'm calling it a mystery trip as it's been a while since I've been and can't remember where all the tracks are, so the idea is to go in and do some exploring. From memory there is something for everyone, from easy to hard, and there are usually chicken tracks around the hard. I'm driving a mildly modified WG Grand Cherokee (2" lift, rock sliders mud tyres and open diffs), so stock Wranglers shouldn't have a problem.

Cheers,
Elio

Rob, thank you for the wave this afternoon! Hopefully you saw me wave as I was in the black 2 door JK at the roundabout at Watsford Road :) (I had to give way to you - your UHF antenna on the front bar gave you away until I saw you go past :)

All the best,

Dan

I wave at people in the Grand Cherokee and everyone looks at me strange. More people wave when I'm driving my work Mercedes Vito lol

Hey guys, have just added a last minute request of a torch, just in case anyone wants to stop and see the glow worm tunnels on the day.

Cheers

Hey Elio,
Would the trip be going to the glow worm tunnels ? or would it being some tracks around zig zag. My understanding is that its a straight run to the tunnels ?

Hi Jeep11. Am planning on finding some tracks around zig zag and possibly making our way to the lost city. The tunnels is an option if anyone wants to go for a look see. Been a couple of years since I've been out there, so I'm looking forward to find a couple of tracks off the 'main' road

Hi Elio, infortunately my companion daughter is going to Canberra for a family function, and because my companion is very ill I dare not leave her alone. Hopefully I'll catch you up on the next trip you arrange.

Lol. Don't think there is any footage of mine. Wish there was. I managed to get it crossed up on it's open diffs and scratched the crap out of my rocksliders, but overall was pretty happy with it.

Yep, seven Jeeps + 1 FJ in total. I only recorded the bits that I did not drive myself, ha ha...
I certainly did not record some of my own "action" (like when I was scraping the bottom of my TJ on the climb up from the lost city).
Thanks Elio for organising this trip!
