Tires are like boobs, they always look big until you have played with them for a while, then you just want a bigger set.

cockeye creek is pretty crap now, we went in a few weeks back, just miles of overgrown gorse, near the end of the track is blocked by trees
Great I hate gorse lol I drive a full open cab

Did Mt Greenland 2 weeks ago. Awesome! No spade work required but some pretty serious chainsaw action was needed. There was a rata across the track half way up with a saw chain already jammed in a cut. Someone had tried in vain to move it before us.
We did No name Rd and Liverpool Bills the following day. No Name was just a pleasant shortcut from Hoki to Dunganville but enjoyed it all the same. Didn't bother with Cockeye.... as Cass says, it was a gorse-fest last time I was there about a yr ago.
Liverpool Bills didn't look like anyone had been through for a long time (I last did it about 3 yrs ago). When we got to the top of the climb out (Mt Fox end) we found out why.....a load of pines across the track. Had 3 chainsaws between us but still took a good while to get through it all. All clear now though. There is some deceptively soft shingle in the lower part.....managed to get my chainsaw wet while it was in the truck, a first for me
