Gear Review: DIY roof rack worked a treat! Saved myself $1000 to make it. Easy job with buying stuff from Bunnings. 

Eski did the job. Packs well in boot. 

Kodiak Canvas tent is awesome. Great size, it rained for much of the trip and kept us dry as. Doesnt take too long to dry out in the morning before packing up too, which is a relief given its canvas to avoid mould upon packing up.
Food:  roast chicken, breakfast burritos, damper, snags, chicken sandwiches, hard boiled eggs.
Report: Got to Dargo in good time. Place was packed full of 4wd'ers ready for weekend. Drive into talbotville campsite pretty straight forward, just a downhill descent for 40 minutes. Talbotville pretty full, so crossed crooked river and found a clearing to camp at. Bloody left tent pegs at home, but luckily nearby campers helped out and have a bunch of pegs. Chilled out. 

Next day crossed crooked river. Great fun track. BOM had the river depths at 1.9m, car went through fine even with no snorkel. Got to bully goat, air down to 24psi. Paj crawled up billy goat, got good views of the pinnacles. Headed back down billy, onto crooked river and back to camp. Kings well bridge could be a nice campsite too.

Next day packed up and headed towards blue rag. Weather was crazy, climbing up into the clouds visibility was maybe 20m! Blue rag is an awesome track.
