I'll hopefully be up at 5 five rocks next week sometime... (if all goes well), but it will only be a quick recce in and out to see what's on offer for a future family trip...

Hey Rob, you'll love it, just chose a good low tide time and you'll easily be able to do 9 mile beach, also you'll get a few (more) pin strips on the car
Enthusiast III
No worries with the pin striping, have plenty on the old defender now... Unsure how long I'll stay at Byfields for but can u drive in and out in a day or is that too much? I realise more time would be better but just unsure of time schedule at this point in time

Absolutely mate, a day is fine to drive in and out from Byfield. I highly recommend camping at Upper Stony Creek (book campsite online through NPRS), amazing swimming hole (creek) and not far from the road/track that goes to the stockyards/9 mile beach and 5 Rocks.
During the week is a great time to go, less people.
Enthusiast III
Cool... thanks mate, much appreciated ;)
Visiting a few old ghost mining areas on my way up there so, hoping should be up there around Wed/Thu next week if all goes well

G'day from Ipswich.
Nice area up that way.

Hey Grant...
Just noticed a little track up that way called Pistol Gap Track - There's a few Youtube Videos of it, just wondering if u have been along it? Looks interesting ;)

I haven't done the pistol gap track yet. I don't have a winch and worried about being unable to self recover. It looks pretty good though.
Enthusiast III
I just returned from there and I checked out the Pistol Gap Loop Track - Looking @ the south entrance was enough for me to give it a miss as I was on my own and it looks like it which a winch job or possible panel damage depending on which path u took... It's a very short track and that exit looks to be the main problem point
Enthusiast III
Welcome Macca, hope we can catch up on the tracks sometime
Enthusiast III
That would be great... what part of QLD are u located?
I'm on the northside of Brisbane
Plenty of Awesome areas to go visit in our neck of the woods here in Central Queensland

G'day Steve!
It's been a few years since I've visited this site I must have a nose around. Do you have much planned for the easter break? I'll be camping up near Newcastle NSW. Hopefullythe foreacst changes to sun!

G'day. Nothing planned personally. Just having a quiet one while sorting the Facebook group out. Are you on Facebook? We definitely have more going on over there.

I was a member of the overland fb group. I did see that something had changed with the group recently but I don't recall their ever being many posts in there tbh. although it may have died down during the covid fiasco and now dropped off my FB algosG'day. Nothing planned personally. Just having a quiet one while sorting the Facebook group out. Are you on Facebook? We definitely have more going on over there.
