It was great!
We didn't find the quarry - we kinda got there late on Friday, set up
camp, and didn't really move till sunday.
The drive out was good - we took the back way to Moonan Flats, along that track that comes along the edge of a paddock (kinda west of the
camp site). the mud was deep enough and sticky enough to pull the cruiser up from 40km/h in about half a car length. The kids loved it, but SWMBO was a bit wary. It was a case of raor up, stop suddenly, sink for a bit, then keep going slowly.
Didn't have to use the winch though. I have come to the conclusion that 3 tonnes and skinny tyres will sink to the bottom of any mud patch, and eventually find some grip.
It was good to drive for 2 hours, and not see another car though. There were no tyre tracks, and it hadn't rained since about the Thursday before.........
Anyway, email me at chumpion at tpg dot com dot au if you want any more details. Got pics of the
campsite still on the camera.
BTW, whats with the 4WDActivist bit?
Cheers,
Chump
