A day trip can be anywhere from out Lithgow, up to Newcastle or down to Nowra and anywhere in between. Every few weeks some NSW guys will organise a trip, or feel free to organise one yourself. Or goon your own and tell us all how awesome it was lol

To answer your questions:
Loads of fun, very technical
Yes it is seriously rough.
Yes for large potential for panel damage.
Yes for rollovers.
It's my favourite short track.

was up there last week clough. the last steps are really washed out, backed out of those ones. all in all it's a bloody good little track. three of us got out with no damage..a bit of rock packing helps, if your unlocked.

Yeah Russ, it's good fun alright. That last step is a bugger and I've yet to get past it, only had my front wheels over the top' of it before I bottomed out.
I love the fact that it really causes you to think about your line.
Surely you've seen the video?? That was when my fridge flew out the back of the car

Yep, that was me. Fathers Day cruise around. I remember you as you were the only vehicle we passed on the way in.
I've seen an older Pathy in very capable hands get a fair way down the trail with few mods, so you should be sweet depending on your experience. It's a very good idea to go with another car though, as much for having a spotter as security.
Don't worry about A/T's, they'll be fine on the sandstone.
There are heaps of rocks to pack the sections you aren't sure of.
Just remember it's a dead end track, you need to come back through everything, so if there's a section you're not sure of then don't do it.
You will occasionally see comp trucks testing themselves down there. I'd love to go this weekend, but it's our anniversary and apparently I have to go camping
