Along with my 105 series, was a D20 Navara with 2" lift and muddies, and a brand new stock 2011 hilux with a crazy driver who wasn't too concerned about a couple of dings and scratches.
My 105 sustained a bit of a beating, when it got a little bit intimate with a treestump - pushed in the rear panel and smashed the tail light. Adam got a slow leak in his front tyre on the Navara, and Chris scratched the front bumper and dinged up the sidesteps. Not a bad effort for a bog stock hilux - we were expecting worse!
I'd just installed the 12,000lb winch last Thursday and was keen to use it. Because we were with a std vehicle we didn't really do any hardcore tracks but we did use it to winch a dead tree up a slope for firewood. Very effective
Anyway, here's a few pics:
We took Campsite 10 near the top of the range. Recommended!

Great view:
Cooking $50 worth of steaks on a rock. Possibly the best steak i've ever had in my life...
Pumping up the flat
The corner that kissed the tree stump
Healthy breakfast
Scoping out a black run
Lining it up
Steep angle halfway up
The stock lux was fine with traction control
Lifting a wheel
In the playground
A clean lux we saw on the day
HT tyres were Chris' undoing
Smiles all round
Are you done yet Tom?
After a great weekend, and only being an hour out of Brisbane - (5 minutes from Beaudesert), it's highly recommended for anyone. Standard cars and up are catered for!
Everyone should check it out, just don't take campsite 10 [in case we want it next time!!]
P.S. happy to say Chris' Hilux is now in the shop getting a 2" lift and 32" muddies
