				My name is Murray, I drive a Feroza called Ferwoaza. I live in Jimboomba on the south side of brisbane (out near Beaudesert). It's big, it's blue, it sounds good and I drive it like a ricer 
 
I wouldn't mind doing a nice cruise somewhere, taking it easy on the car at the moment as I can't afford repairs.

				I'll represent the smelly diesel Rockys and join you for the day. 
Saturday 3rd July sounds good to me.
Any other Rockys in Brisbane going to join us?
I know you're out there - it's time to come forward and show these Ferozas how to get really stuck in the sand.

				Depending on where you all end up going I am keen to go for a run especially if you are all heading up to double island.  I have a green feroza and live in Gympie

				Hi my names Heath, and I'm an alcoholic.
Oh sorry wrong place.  
I had a feroza, but changed up to a GQ 9 mths ago, and sold the Feroza 4 days ago.  I'll be up for a drive, though, having been a previous owner/driver, I know these cars well.

				Damn we are going up overnight on the 26th June. I'll talk to the handbrake  

 try convince her to go the following weekend and link up with you guys.  Will see how the cooling system holds up after I done some minor repairs this weekend gone. Been putting some high demands on the poor old 16valve EFI lately so will see how it goes.
Cheers
Jim

				Shame, if it had been one day later, I will be in transit from Gladstone to Bribie, and I would have made a detour via Maryborough to Rainbow, and down the beach.

				We have just bought a black and silver '90 diesel rocky and are keen to take it for a run up the beach.
All going good we may be there, it could be good to meet up with some people with real 4x4s!!!!(LOL).

				So what is hte rough outline for the day......was thinking we could start at Tewantin go up the beach that way then come out through Cooloola NP into Rainbow up to Inskip and back down that way? I don't know that way though I just know that you can't get round the rocks at Rainbow...

				You can get around the Mudlow rocks when the tide is going out so I would check the tide times. Or take the NP inland track from Teewah to rainbow, about 20km of 4wding which I would rate as medium with a couple of harder sections. 
 Undecided about if I'll go yet 
cheers

Unless mudlow rocks has changed in the last few weeks then I wouldn't touch it at all.

				What do you mean?
At low tide you drive on the hard stuff very simple.

				you still have to drive through the water though when going round - don't know about anyone else but I am not driving my car in salt water

				Mudlo rocks is passable on low tide only.  But, may pay to make a call to teh ranger to find out for sure.  
Jimmy, the inland track is not medium mate - its easy with some medium parts.  Most of the time you don't need low range.  There are other tracks that are not as easily found.

				my mistake, it's an easy track I'm going soft in my old age. I've gone that way in high range haven't needed low. Heath, are you talking about other tracks in the National Park? I think there should be bit more off-road than a drive along the beach as this won't take long. 
 As for the rocks, all depends on the time you go around, at low tide you shouldn't have to drive in the wash.

Sometimes cant be helped.  Just give it a good rinse when you get home.  Just drivin on teh beach in just as bad as driving in teh water.  If its timed right you'll be in worst case and inch of water.

				Could go through freshwater track it's a bit of fun. The sand becomes pretty soft especially after no rain for a long time can make things interesting. We managed to get ourselves and my parents bogged there when it was really bad one year. The only thing that did make it through was my brothers rocky even if it was a shitta!!! Hope ours can get through too.

Well when we are up there camping as long as its low tide you can drive from the ferry all the way to town without driving in anything

				Came back from Inskip around the rocks on Rainbow last Thursday. What used to be a few rocks near the town is now loads of rocks all along the beach and its definatley low tide only stuff! The cuttings are pretty easy going. Managed to get through in my GU Patrol(the wife's claimed the Feroza) with camper trailer no sweat so a 'Roza will p!ss it. The track in 4WD Monthly(Pettygrews Road?) is a good track with only one sketchy bit. A slightly up hill sandy section which gets cut up over some big roots but i made it up after six attempts in the 'Roza! Has anyone checked the tide times B.T.W.  Hope this helps.
