Recovery Goes Seriously Wrong

Pretty true mudripper !

That's how I got bogged on Mt Bundy, I was going to rescue the Station Triton but ran on the same wheel tracks and broke the crust'

Doug that's a good photo and I hope they paid you well for making a new bore drain.

We "lost" an Army Landrover up in the Shoalwater Training Grounds, near Rockhampton, back in early 1966. We were going fishing and broke through and ended up very much like that but with all four wheels down. You know the type of mud - the stuff mangroves grow in. A few inches of nice hard crust and even your foot wouldn't hold you up.

By the time we walked back to camp and got the wrecker all you could see was the top of the windscreen. The boss just wrote it off. Lots of washing dishes for us. And not one solitary fish was caught! The only day off in the month that we were there.
