Yesterday 4 of us took our 4wds on a 4wd expedition, The trip when to a small spring near
Jabiru we all got there with 2 small bogs in about 2 1/2 hour.
Well, after leaving 4 cars in the bush over night we went out to retrieve them this morning about 10.30.
Well, we got
home at 5.30 this afternoon, It took another 4 cars and over 12 major bogings to get
home.
We walked in the dark for 2/3 kms last night, while Nigel came to pick us up in one of my other trucks. On the walk
home I trod on a snake of some description while bare foot, the whole 2 days was a huge laugh.
Anja will do the 100 or so photos she took today and I will post them tomorrow,
well the good ones anyway.
One of the rangers came to help and he got bogged big time as
well, so he gave us his hand winch and went
home, the 9000 pound winch on the Land Rover was not up to the task of the hand winch at all. Without the hand winch we would still be there.
So watch this space for the photos.
Cheers Steve.

Here are some of the pics as promised, the first one is what started it all, as I gave Dave a big rooster tail, then I saw the in the mirror and laughed so hard I drove of the road and this resulted in the next photo.
The next photo was in the morning we were pulling out Kyle's car, this was the last car stuck the night before.
There were 2 more boggings before the next photo, this photo is inspecting the damage.
After we got the car out, they had to pull me out.
I got XPLORE bogged in this hole, before the next lot of photos.
This is me just
clearing the same hole in 4WD 2RS, then Mat who had his fair share of bogging got through as
well and the next lot of photos were his car being the last one through.
There were plenty more photos, but these were the picks for tonight, hope you enjoy them.
Cheers Steve.

Looks like any typical day's drive down the Hume Hwy (aka Sesame Street), between
Holbrook and Albury to me....hahaha
