Conditions update.
1/ There is a fire ban across all National Parks, basically for summer.
2/ There is helicopter shooting (aka "aerial pest control") happening on Tuesday. Let's hope that conditions are satisfactory as we really want them finished before the weekend.
Update to be posted as we get closer.

Cheers Dry,
See you then.
Mount Airly has been on my list for a while, but didn't think the Jeepsticle was suitable when I only had a 2" lift and 33's
Hi Dru,
Would love to try out this Track on my stock JLU Rubi. Do you think it will make it ?
Hi there! It was great catching up with you yesterday. This one is tricky - so let's start with, sorry Mt Airlie is not for you right now.
That said - yes a stock Ruby will climb Mt Airlie. The problem is the risk of damage is high, and in particular the stock rock rails are just not up to the job at the rock step pinch point on this track. You WILL end up hung on the rock rails at this step, IF you don't ram the canyon wall. The risk of panel damage just isn't sensible on such a new Jeep.
I'd suggest keeping an eye out for the following trails as you build your JL's experience:
Spanish Steps, Moon Rock, Son of Bob: Newnes
CPT80, Green's Break: Watagans.
Mt Walker: Rydel
Monkey Gum, Middle Earth: Yalwal.
Definitely Yalwal.
All the best guys!
Dru
