Blue Rag Range Track

Thank you Melissa for replying. Needless to say we will keep dead centre of the track if situation permits. Trust you survived your experience without too much damage to vehicle and no personal injury-it is something we all dread but at times it is very difficult to correctly read the conditions.

Hi Banker,

Yep, no injuries (only pride) luckily, but can't say the same for the F100 ute we were in. Luckily we were travelling with a club and with everyones help, the vehicle was winched back onto its wheels and back up to the road. It was able to be driven back to Shepparton, although the bent up cab etc raised a few eyebrows. It was the F100's maiden voyage in the bush, and the owner had been VERY disappointed with it's lack of manouverability, mainly due to it's large size. Anyway, cut a long story short, insurance covered all costs and afterwards it was better than ever. He immediately sold it and made a tidy profit :-).

I should have mentioned in my earlier post, the reason the driver wandered out wide onto the shoulder of the track was that it was wet and the track was slippery clay. He had not bothered to engage 4WD so coming around a bend, the truck slewed sideways a bit and the rest is history.

Anyway, enjoy your trip.

Melissa
