Apologies to everyone. Our jeep is not going to be ready. We are planning to re-schedule this trip once we have a better idea of timing on certain JK repairs.
(Happy to hand over to an alternate trip leader if anyone is interested)

We had time to kill, so we ran a reccie of DPR today. Interesting drive. This is a track that is naturally slippery. The descent in is dirt wombat holes. All rain in the area catches at the bottom of the track. There is no way to avoid the bog holes there. Expect to need to winch. The climb out is mixed dirt wombat holes and rock steps. A capable jeep will still leave the driver with some technical driving, it's an interesting track.
There is only one spot with an alternate, and the alternate is B Grade. Environmentally there are many stretches of Bell Birds. Sweet! The vegetation is rain forest like. Gorgeous!

RQTs:
Well prepared vehicles for this. Mud tyres recommended, lockers are an advantage otherwise make sure you are familiar with your traction control system.

Appropriate clothing - there will be mud.
