Hello from Under Down Under!
Lucas, have you thought of getting 36" Jungle Trekkers? Might help prevent you getting bogged.

Hello from Under Down Under!
Not in quite the same league as some of you pork chops, but bogged is bogged & we weren’t going anywhere without assistance.
How. Thinking “there’s a good spot opposite to do a u turn” & taking little notice that the red dirt was wet.
Where. On the opposite side of the road to the observatory in Dubbo.
How did I get out. When piling gravel under the wheels failed, the nice little old lady from the observatory offered to try to pull us out with a rope tied to something inside the boot of her Magna sedan. After convincing her, with some difficulty, that trying to pull 6+ tonnes of bus & trailer would damage her car we were ‘rescued’ by a local vineyard owner who pulled us out with his Landcruiser ute in low first.
What did I learn. a)Wet red dirt is not compatible with forward motion b) that getting bogged right next to the bitumen makes you feel like a prize plonker & c) that every cloud has a silver lining. Vineyard owner let us camp on his property overnight & in the morning his 80 year old father knocked on our door with a huge bag of freshly picked mushrooms for our brekkie.

Cool - I love stuck threads
How - Didn't deflate
How - Damned FJ Cruiser in front of me slowed down, so I was still in 2nd gear
How - Arrived at check point so didn't want to go to fast over the dune.
How'd I get out - On my own so a lot of digging
Double Stuck
How - The Jeep got stuck, on the previous dune, then again on this one. Without thinking I stopped to ask him what he was playing at. DOH
What'd I learn - Never park next to a Jeep

How: got excited, didn't test the hole, noticed there was very little track after the hole and listened to kris...you'll be right!!!
Where: Big river area
How did I get out: Rossco snatch from rear.
What I learnt: if the exit of the hole looks like it hasnt been used in years there is a good chance you won't make it.....and don't listen to kris...lolImageUploadedByMotorculture1385634862.461767.jpg
