Very jealous, never been to Tassie.
Have fun.
Tassie is great mate. Plenty to see. I did it in year 8 on a bus then came back in 1999 on my Triumph and that was awesome. Then came here often for work in a 20 ton truck working around Tas.Quote:

Loved the place. We hired a camper and took a couple of weeks to roam around, but that was nearly thirty years ago. It is on the bucket list to take a few months and enjoy it a bit more. Have a great adventure, Darren and Co.
Shit has got Real!!!
That is all.
Gotta give us more than that.Quote:

The tyres are 37" Treps. SO GOOD!!
Yeah it was pretty fuc#ed doesnt get much closer. . Thank crickies for MB casually reached up and literally pulled the car down with one hand, me and Mattie ran up like madmen to use which but only shrubs didn't even think about no anchor. MB again casually said bring car around so ran back to 4bie, into high range and drove it flat out think the BP's came into their own then lol. . .

Yep, I've seen that corner in many vids & yep there's nothing there but water and rocks.
So were you stopped and balancing in that pic?
That is a screenshot of a vid of when it was at its worse. She went up quickly and can clearly see both wheels off, came back down and sat with front left still way up till MB casually pulled the whole thing down. . Don't know what we did right but think the gods were happy with us that day. . .

Yeah I had just punched 0ff the front locker to make the turn. As I did the back stepped out to the right into the rut. In hindsight I should have turned off the rear locker too. As the car shifted it lifted slowly but i was in trouble for sure. Mark standing there was my salvation no doubt about it at all. I went white..... then MBs face just appeared out the corner as he pulled me down then jumped on. The car stalled at that point too which settled the car.Quote:

Just going though photos this week. Takes time culling editing etc but will put some more up soon. .

@MB sounds like you were the quiet hero. As dire as the situation was keeping a cool head helps prevent the situation getting out of control. Also keeps the driver in a slightly calmer state. Not fun situations to be in if everyone is losing their mind.
Indeed mate. i was helpless and in trouble. MB was my savior for sure. the Guys just got it done so fast. would have been a pretty average return home without us.Quote:
