Itinerary description

Headed down to Coffs Harbour for Part-2 of our 4wd exploring the Hinterland. Ment up with the 4th car at Sealy's Lookout where we said our giddays and then got into it by heading onto the beginning of Rover trail, then turning off onto Bexs and then working our way around to the other side of Rover Trail where it all started.... The 3 Prado's lead the way up to the 1st difficult part with all needing to be winched up this difficult section. The little zook started off shaky with me almost rolling it onto it's side as I didn't see a hole that  was in front of me..... Luckily things got better from that point onwards and the little zook made it all the way to the top w/o a need for a winch..... From Rover Trail it was back along Bex Trail and a few others to get us over to where we though about camping for the night - near Army Trail. Found the only spot large enough to contain us all and settled in for the night for a nice campfire; a good meal and a few drinks with some mates. Morning arose and we had a hardy Bacon & Egg breaky b4 heading up Army Trail for a look to what had changed since last time..... found it all pretty much as it was last time and decided it wasn't worth the risk and headed off to explore some different parts of the parks down that way (SW of Mt Coramba). One of the Prado's picked up an old bolt in his tyre, so after a quick tyre change it was off past Karangi Dam to explore another NP, crossing some fantastic crystal clear creek crossings where the locals obviously went to cool off..... Found some great exploring tracks, but time and some rather slipperly clay & washouts got the better of us and we had to turn around and make our way out and back towards home...... Refuelled at Grafton & had dinner there b4 heading back across the border and homewards bound, finally getting home around 11pm.....
