I reckon we might see the Big Gold one needing some parts this time around!

I think it already needs a new gearbox.

I can only comment on a few hours for Sunday. So here is a quick view

My first time a the park and as I left the office after paying I was already feeling the vibe of the day.
A notice on the front door read "www.NISSANPATROL.com.au moved to Trakka Camp use channel 11"

I rounded the corner and noted two groups of tents, which one ? Ask the CB
no answer- hmm. I'll stop and let these mean looking beasts past. Then I noted this big guy waving at me.
F!! off, I've stopped out of the way I thought. He wiggled his arms around - are you stopping or move or something... Over he drives.
"You alright he yells!"
"Yep just look for my group"

Well I found them and I was parked across the road where they needed to turn (heheheh)

I was told to dump my stuff near the tents as they will wait for me. I pulled up at the rear of the convoy and radioed "all good" still no reply. I could see others talking on the UHF. Dam I hope my CB is not broke already.
Nope Wrong channel. (dam office had it wrong)

So we headed off the the "pig pen" after 2 creek crossings, nothing too deep 1/2 up the door and a few words of praise from the wife , and a woot from the kids. The Pig pen is just that MUD.
Dhuck showed us how to get dirty and the power of his mighty patrol, followed by BigRig.
I chickened out, after a look from the wife. "wait till the car is a few months old" winge winge (lucky she does not look on here )

Adam was the first one to go it solo up around the corner and ended up stuck. Dhuck was on it like .. well a duck on water. Snap stratched out, opened his door to let the water out, don't think he liked swimming and driving

Back to camp to grab some food and off again.

This time we were going up a RED trail, bit of ruff stuff - that it was. Allot of wheel flex, tight turns, and rocks. My son started to cry the wife saying word of wisdom as the car leaned and rocked near a straight drop down on the left. But we all made it up. Now just had to get down.

All in all, I found it was a fun day and was great meet up.
