Don't hold out on us.
One roofrack and boat must have a good story behind it.

Dear ozers
I was hopeing no one would ask so here goes, we stayed at the
cullyamurra waterhole for a couple of days fishing & swimming where i cut my foot on a log. wednesday we packed up and headed off to
tibooburra we got about 2 ks down the road when a horrible noise made us sit up, followed by a worse noise as the boat & roofrack came off the troopie,not a good look in the review mirror. After hobbling past the troopie & seeing that both back windows were broken i didnt feel any better.the front strap had come off, the boat lifted up then the whole lot was ripped off luckerly nobody was hurt. We put the rack ,
wheels , gas onto a mates car, then onto
innamincka where lance from the auto fixed things up so we could continue, very happy with his help & price.Lunch at the pub then off to
thargomindah,the boat stayed at
innamincka, still floats just a bit bent like me. When i get the photos i will put them on.regards greyemu
