Been over on Fraser for a week or so and had to use the winch for the first time except for a bit of wire fencing tension.
On track back to barge at Wanggolba Creek and found this Mazda CX5 with 4 Japanese girls hopelessly bogged after about 7lkm.
Not sure how long they had been there but got them out and turned around to go back home. Spoke to driver and told her to follow me and I would watch her to make sure she was ok. Also told her to drive like a rally car and not to slow down or stop for anything. She did exactly that and once I saw her going through some very loose sand close to the barge like a boat through a wave with a big bow wave of sand coming up either side of the car.
They were very grateful and learnt to take advice of barge operator who said not to go. I bet their social media would have been interesting once we got in phone range.
