    Thanks for the info guys. Now that I have looked into this a bit more, I have put this on the back burner. A normal frame tent will better suit my needs, looking at Cabanon brand which I have had previously (shouldn't have given it to my brother...

    ARB kit is good but expensive. Iโ€™ve been looking at an awning from 4x4 direct which is cheaper.

    If you're over this way again lemme know, would be great to tag along! I've done this same lane a few times, but only the downward way like you, and I too did the sensible bit at the waterfall. Cracking little lane, and a few more around the area! ๐Ÿ˜Š

    Just to close this out, I removed the cylinder head. The head gasket had lost its integrity and was allowing combustion pressure into the coolant. All fixed with a head clean up and a new gasket.
