It was a bloody long drive polishing off 2100km before the weekend even started.
On Friday we took the scenic drive to camp. Stopping in Marysville was a bit of an eye opener, it"s good to see rebuilding underway I hope it stays untouched this year
I quickly found out that 85% reduction gears don't work well in the high country, always changing from 4L to 4H.

Saturday was a fun drive. I hit the first river crossing pretty had and got water over the windscreen lmao. Rossco has a pic of that.
There was a couple of challenges that Daz had set for me unfortunatly they had been bulldozed. I was just happy to be there so it didn' bother me.

I learned a lot from Benny this weekend. He is a lot smarter than he looks and has a lot to offer. So glad you came down mate, now it's my turn to go into your territory.
Daz, Gary or Benny, do you have a track of that creek run?
These are the photos Erica took...

Well here is about the only vid I took worthwhile posting. I got one of the Army track water crossing I will get up a bit later. Thought I would get this up for benny now though.
This is a vid of you going back down and up the steep climb mate. I still can't believe how easy it done it. AMAZING machine and a huge credit to you mate. LOTS of time and EFFORT gone into that truck.
