Now that i now have acess to a computer once again, must thank Roachie, Aussiechef and other exploroz members and visitors who gave their assistance and support in helping me extricate my old 62 series from the bog on the
birdsville track in july.
When your find yourself down to the axles and sidesteps, the first question is what now?, had shovel and straps etc and it was great to have a convoy of 4wd's arrive manned by friendly and capable people. After
clearing away the slop and it was exactly that, the snatch strap worked like a charm and we were out.
As others have said the reason we go out there is to see this great country and have memorable experiences. The bonus is the great people you get to meet.
I was able to return the favour to fellow traveller who found himself stuck between Camerons corner and Tiborburra.
Once again thanks to all, hope to meet again, if anyone has a photo of my" moment" would appreciate an email

Great to hear of people helping each other out. I can imagine the sigh of relief when the cav arrived :) That's what it's all about really isn't it ? Meeting new people and shared experiences.

G'day Burto,
No worries mate, glad to be of assistance. I think it's safe to say that we've all been in that predicament at one time or another and it is nice to know that others will lend a hand.
We only have "proper" photos, but I know there are at least 2 lots of digi-camera photos around (Warren aka Aussiechef) and Zierschy from our 4x4 club.
If you wanna put your email addy up on your rig pic/profile area, I will arrange for you to get a photo.
Cheers
Roachie

Thanks Roachie and others, as others have said it's events like that that make the trip memorable. Will be out there next July, looking forward to meeting other exploroz memebers.
