    Sunshine state!




    Brother in law, who lives up that way, said it was OK several weeks ago.

    I'll be using it to get to Kili for the 70th do.

    As in the Dag Highway? If so, I do it quite regularly in a B-double, it's not too bad at all.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Many years ago I come down into kilcoy....it was in pretty bad condition on one of the steep parts, from memory there had been a lot of rain prior.

    Might explore it a bit more on my next work trip out there

    I think we are taking the dirt road that heads north out of Kilcoy going through the state forest.

    that was the easy bit

    got rougher north of the turn off to land cruiser park etc etc.

    last time i came through it i was heading down from murgon to kilcoy in the red 4bd1t powered county towing a loaded no 5 trailer after some rain, taking it slowly as it had a serious tappet rattle. was riding on 255/85x16 muds at the time.

    came to an uphill section and at the bottom were two bogged jap trucks

    stopped, asked if assistance was needed, got laughed at, so i idled straight up the hill too a wail of cat calls and the like...

    just cant help some people....

    was scary in a few places heading downhill with an unbraked trailer thinking about overtaking me in the slime, but it was the only way i was going to get home...

    was an eventful 6 hours but a very enjoyable escapade in hind sight.
