The first outing was trying to get it up the driveway, last pic, it is much steeper than the picture shows.
Gravel driveway, all this rain, about 200mm in the last week. The driveway on the last bit has about a 1 in 1.75 climb.

Seriously, we will try to get out to GUM BEND LAKE out near Condobolin in the next two weeks, only 200km away. I just hope the rain stops.

I actually thought about a boat, but you can't sleep five in a ski boat, and stay dry.

It's alright, I'll let you step foot in and sit down on thos comfy seats, relax have a beer a chat, then when its bed time, I'll kick you out the door, lol.

We did the same started in tents, went to the Eagle camper, then decided it was time to upgrade to this, probably spent more than we needed to, but You Only Live Once and you Can't take your money to the grave.

If we ever run into each other on the open road, I'll invite you in for a beer.

House warming at Mick's place in Molong. BYO everything. lol

Just kidding, Mick. Nice wheels.

Take care out there.

Thanks for the comfort Mick, might take a run up your way in the next few weeks if the rain does stop, wouldn't mind taking the kids to the zoo for a day or 2 :) Was meant 2 take them months ago and still haven't made it there, oh well Daddy in the bad books again!
