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.

His truck does not show how tough that hill really was....... it was frickin steep for those that were not there... only he and Daz went up it and then Benny went back down and back up again!!!
His truck looks like a bloody shitty farm ute with the other tyres then you put the muds on and it is transformed... truly is a beast.
Sorry Benny no clear shots but there were heaps more pics by other..
Here is the Video of that hill climb.. last January I got a front wheel launching in the air but this time with the locker it was all to easy!!!

I think he means a track name
Sent from my iPad using Motorculture mobile app
Looking for a GPS track.....
Or track names.....
Yeah drive to the camp we stayed at last time Drew and just keep going, looks like an awesome track. Not hard but not a track you would forget.
Hey Sorry Drew,
yeah keen not to name that track or post a Track log bud. Easy enough to find but hardly touched and something you will never forget once you have driven it.
Happy to give you directions via pm or take you there nest time we are up that way. Keen to limit the traffic there so it remains as it is for as long as possible. Its Paradise.
Finally got around to getting some pics up. Again it was an amazing weekend and thank everyone for the laughs
