OK! As promised trip blog with pics(spelt that wrong should have an r in it).
Away from work on time thursday arvo then hours to get loaded up.65650
Finally set to go.Got eveything?65651
So away at a reasonable hour in the am and first stop Yandaran. Short n Blonde has a chinese bladder.
Ever onward to Fingerboard roadhouse about 30ks from Agnes Water, stop for ice n eats.
Another 18 k and turn north into np.
65652 3k along and the road starts to deteriorate.No fun in older leaf sprung ute!
65653
Alright so into camp and set up. Very pleasant good shade, close to the water.65654
Amenities a little sparse, just the multrum toilets. The groundsman came by a coupla times a day tho.
65656
So a few idyllic days of kayaking n fishing. Plenty of fish BUT if you aint set up right they will smash you.
Fishin off the yak saw us net a few fair grunter but the Jacks simply destroyed gear. will be heavier next time.
Saturday proved fun. Had heard horror tales of "THE TURKEY BEACH TRACK" and the pig having never been bested said what the hell!
3k of rocky nasty worse every metre track brought us to 5k of mud, water, wallum country slop brought us to 3k of rocky nasty.
Didn't get enough pics and they don't do the track justice! Took better than 2 hrs to do the 8k, quicker coming back, no walking it first!
Low range. Check! Locker in. Check! Chicken track? You bet!65658
Chicken track. darn sight worse than it appears!65659 nearly lost No 1 scout in one of the holes along it!
And just beyond the chicken track?65660
All in all a thinking mans 4wd track. Spoke to bloke back at camp had stripped a hub on a 76 cruiser couple of days prior.
Much fun!
All good things must end so pack up sunday morning and off home again.
Shorty says she won't be goin again the midges got to her. Red hot I'll take some of the crew instead!!!!!!!!!!
