04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
Yeah, I guess it's all part of the adventure!Just back from 3 nights camped down on the Emu Creek. Was great to get back into the Tvan again.Believe it or not we hadn't used it since end of last September, (but have lived in 5 different places around FNQ). It's pretty peaceful where we are near Mutchilba, but down on the creek with huge amount of bird life & great views was hard to beat. Even the midnight visit from several feral/wild horses was added interest. And then this morning we took a punt on some tracks to get back 'home', & had a ball of a time up & down some very steep & rocky tracks, slow going, with lots of 1st & 2nd low, highest altitude was about 950m. Thanks to @FNQGU for telling us about the country out there. We tried asking locally if they would be navigable with the Tvan in tow, but couldn't find anyone who knew. Reckon if we had they'd have said no, but the Tvan handled it all no problem. If Ben is reading this ....we drove to Petford on the bitumen & then went down to the riverside camp spot at Emuford. Returned to Mutchilba via Hales Siding, Stannary Hills & past the lake (Stannary Hills Dam) & through Boonmoo Station. Someone was camped at the dam - what a fantastic spot! Great drive.

Good one @Cuppa. It is a really interesting area and well worth a few days poking around and taking your time. Loads of old ruins and some fantastic tracks to drive.
Between Patrols ATM. Had a beaut GU with 6.5 Chev TD. Next is a GU ute with a 4.5 litre Cummins conversion and a camper on the back.

Spent the last few days around the Melbourne. Went into the cbd yesterday, weird, there's no one there. I spent 40 years in Melb and I've never seen it so quiet, very very strange. I'll tell ya what, if you live down there you're safer in the cbd than the suburbs. The burbs just seemed normal, people everywhere.
Happy to be back in the bush again, Melb is not a place for me anymore.
