I would say he was referring to highway driving?
18psi seems to be the go. Negligible benifit going lower as there is no/limited longer footprint size for you to gain as the sidewall on your 20's cant balloon much.

I agree with Mace1, with those profile tyres go down to around 18 and see how you go. If you are constantly getting stuck go down another 2 psi but don't go any lower for any length of time and avoid sharp turns.
My best advice other than go to a smaller rim is to carry a ratchet strap. If you do peel a tyre off the rim put the strap around the circumference of the tyre, strap tight and use your compressor to re-seat the bead while the rim is still on the vehicle.
Carrying an air jack is good for helping with this as well as it's not as dangerous if you need to use a standard or high lift jack on sand.

Thanks all for the suggestions.
I've made sure to pack -
Maxtrax
Deflator
Tow hitch/bow shackle
And will but myself a snatch strap when I get to port Macquarie, I'm hoping to be fine and not to need most of this stuff (deflator aside obviously) but will post some pics to prove I got there!

Great - thanks both. I have those items so will do that if worst comes to bear.

Since I can't always operate a Hilift anymore, thanks Nanook, you just reminded me I must get one.

I remember seeing a bloke in a Hilux getting himself out of all manner of situations using a single air jack and nothing else, in record time!
They require no physical input to operate, are really cheap, light weight and take virtually no storage space. I do wonder why everyone's not packing them.
At the risk of hijacking this topic, is there a downside to the use of air jacks?

Not that I can think of. Besides recovery tracks, they are the best option for getting yourself out of deep sand especially if you have bogged it to the chassis.
You just jack the car up and fill in the holes left by the tyres and lower it back down.
