Damo's Family Lap

[Rip'n'Shred]

We pulled up at Canal Creek for 2 nights of free camping near the creek. Great spot with not many other people around, until the second night when along comes the old fella and the 4 Germans with another bloke in tag along! Of course we insisted they join us and our quiet little camp site became very cosy with an extra 4 vehicles, a trailer, a quad and a dog with 6 more people lol. We had a great night catching up and decided to all finish the OTT together the next day. They also had another family tagging along that they met that where camping back at Twin Falls that would catch up in the morning.

OTT somewhere


So the next day we had a Landcruiser ute towing a trailer for the quad, a Navara, my Patrol towing a camper trailer, Germans Triton and Pajero both petrols, and a Hilux with a camper in tow all making our way north on the Old Tele Track. It did make progress slow but the reassurance of help at hand made up for it.

We made it through all the crossings, some requiring a little help from shovels, max tracks, and the little Hilux winched out of Mistake Creek with the heavy camper in tow.
