So me and a mate decided to go up to Murray Sunset national park for a look and a bit of offroad fun. We are both novice off roaders and everyone else who was supposed to come dropped out. So it was just me In my D40 and Him in his (Stock) Hilux.

The place was completely empty and the camp sites were beautiful!

Just arrived:


The Campsite:



It was a great campsite and we were the only people there.

The next day we went out onto the tracks.
had some issues getting the hilux up some sand hills, which we later realised was due to traction control (Again, we are novices)>

The Nav did really well, I think the dyno tune and the tyres really helped in the sand. It performed excellently. I also may have caught some air.. and on re-joining earth it killed my brand new fridge :( however the manufacturer inspected it and the failure was due to a poor solder joint anyway so it was
replaced.

Some vid of the sand driving:

9:15 is roughly where I think I may have killed the fridge...





Overall was a fantastic weekend! Want to go up again with a few more mates and tackle some more of the tracks.

If you have done very little offroad, this is a great place to start.
