After picking up the new Raptor from the dealer we drove about an hour and a half up to zig zag railway to give the beast it a taste of gravel. 

So far I am super impressed with the power and overall build quality of this thing. Cannot wait to see what else it can do in the near future!

Even though I had to cut it short, it's always worth a quick trip to get shots like these. Took the Ranger and Ben to shoot a BF Goodrich ad and got a new mate in Luke in the Prado meet us up there.

Camped overnight at a dodgy hip-camp that was pretty much just the side of someone's driveway, but good enough for a fire and rest, giving us a great starting point to be on the sand just as the light cracked over the horizon leaving us with some epic shots.




Haven't checked the vids yet but plenty of bangers in the photos.

Not a whole lot going on at stockton so we just messed around on the Dunes as a final send off for Ben's patrol before he hyundai getz himself a new fourby later in the year.

Trip Report



We had the pleasure of heading up the coast to Port Macquarie over the weekend with a group of locals that showed us some of the fun tracks across Wauchope and Bago and an epic campsite on the riverside.



Tracks and Location:
King Creek, Little Mousetrap, Big Mousetrap, Bago Steps and Bago Bluff Lookout

Track Details:
First up was a little challenge under a road bridge as the entry to the tracks with a couple of cars taking it on as a warm up for the bigger obstacles.



Entering into the track first up was Little Mousetrap with an optional side track (which the IFS rangers and the jeep ended up having to take). The larger solid axles pretty much walked up with a bit of steering finesse. The rock steps are not impossibly large but well spaced out to make bumping over each stage of the rock challenging.



Straight through to Big Mousetrap with some requiring winching and others managing the climb unaided. This is a much longer hill with a sandy bottom making traction difficult if you have to stop or get stuck mid-way.

In total getting the cars through this hill took about 2 hours, with some winch dramas and other challenges.

After completing these two we headed over to Bago State Forest and followed a really overgrown creek track (RIP paintwork) ending in a couple of challenging steep hill climbs and finally on to the Bago Steps.



Reward after the steps was possibly the greatest lookout view in NSW at the Bago Bluff Lookout.
