gday al

just a short note to let you know that we are all back home from the weekends activities.
we had a total of 13 vehicles along, 5 C/T's, 4 tents and 1 swag attend.also 1 dog.
everyone had a terrific time from what i gathered.no damage was reported to vehicles( Shane D did have an A/C belt squeal on him but fixed in no time).
apart from an enormous storm front that moved in on Sat night it was perfect weather which i will post a blog about in the next coming week when i have time from work commitments.

i wish to thank every one who attended this week end and especially Brad who was a 1st class guide,cheers.

Mark, glad to see it went off so well. We were a tad worried about your mob and the storms out that way.

Hey Kev,
You know Yowies are timid creatures, I couldn't imagine him running out when there are this many people about.

Dave,

Mark told me about his driving effort, sounds like the 4x4 bug has bitten him too.

Cheers Kev

Hey Dave,
Scott did handle himself pretty well down the Mallara fire trail. The Zuk loved it ;) It's a credit to him. Looked like he had a ball, he couldn't stop smiling. Good stuff.

Yeah, Cheers Mark.
How about that for a great weekend?
Some excellent trails, beautiful lush rain forest, Water falls, great company, Sorry if I forgot anybodies name, Yeap, can't beat that for a top weekend.
And Brad's and Cam's knowledge of the area would be second to none. And what about the Mallara fire trail? How good was that?
I'm looking forward to seeing the video that was taken over the weekend.
It took me two hours just to wash underneath and clean the engine bay, a vacuum and polish will have to wait until later in the week ;-)

Hey Brian, I can understand your concerns about the Mallara fire trail, jeez, won't want to go anywhere near that when its even got dew on it. It was all good, but thanks for the heads up.

Anyway,
Thanks Mark for a great weekend. :)))
Cheers Mate.
