Hi everyone,
I don't spend a lot of time on forums but am really enjoying the off-roading in my first 4WD since a (cringe) Kia Rocsta in the early 1990s! The hardest thing is finding somewhere easy to get to for some off-roading in safety to explore the Fortuner's abilities.
I enjoyed a 1/2 daytrip to the Glasshouse Mountains - a few weeks back with the Fortuner only 2 weeks old - wet and clay made it very slippery and trying to climb even small uphill steep sections was hopeless - my co-traveller was in a GU Patrol with Maxxis Bighorns but he couldn't make it up either! Diff lock did nothing to help at all - no traction on the clay mud.
I wondered about other easy to reach day trips people have tried? Duck Creek Road gets mentioned but some of the youtube footage looks very easy = must depend on the weather / how wet it is. Straddie and Morton seem good options but I haven't mustered the time to go for a weekend.
Any really close to Brisbane options?

Happy trail exploring.
