Just completed the tele track today, and now at loyalty beach,
Had an absolute fat time,
We did the lot from Palm Creek to Nolans Brook,
My good mate got stuck at The famous Gun Shot and we had to winch him out but no damage done,
Swamp creek was pretty deep and the others opted for the easy way through but I opted for the deep path and the mighty 4.2 GU just powered through with success,
Nolans Brook had just swallowed 2 vehicles before we arrived, I let the tyres down to 16 Psi and the GU had no problems at all, but my mate was not so lucky he followed next and it swallowed him up so a snatch from us and he was out but was full of water and I mean full,
Last week Nolans also swallowed two near new 200 series and many others , I was very happy with my outcome ,
The kids reckon that Fruit Bat Falls are the best and want to go back on the way back home,

Beer in Bamaga is $ 60 a 30 pack, not bad for up here I reckon,

I will post some great pics when back home,

Cheers

Looking forward to seeing some pics, havent been up there since 92 :(

With the reputation that nolans has, I still dont know why people dont connect up straps and do it in tandem in case something goes wrong.

One resting, the other sleeping....

The White 1 had a run in with a truck on the development road,
The other one rolled on the bloomfield track.
