Meet my 90, and share the adventure.

Sweet write up mitch! Looks like a very fun adventure.

I used to camp at Yamba with the family when i was a youngin' and the jump cliffs at angourie pools were the best! A little anecdote for the pools - they are 700m or so from the beach, yet are filled with fresh water from that spring you mentioned. Many people may know that, but as a 14 year old i couldn't comprehend how that was possible.

Oh and i think if you keep at it bonnet gangsta poses will become the next big internet sensation :D

Cheers

Dan

Thanks for posting - looks like you had a great time - really enjoyed the photo's.

Cheers,
Col.

Love your work Mitch.:thumbsup:

I feel honoured by the gangsta pose 🤗

You got it down pat

Great write up!

Trip looked great mate, great part of the world to be exploring!

Awesome write up mitch! I was very excited when I saw you went to Lemon tree, we went there this year in the middle of winter! It was cold and miserable... we did a bit of a drive around but didn't do a lot of the walks. In the cave was nice and warm and dry compared to the rest of our trip, but we had a 2 yr old with us so didn't venture far into the cave. I feel your pain with the electrical problems, that place must be jinxed for D90's! we had the parkers blow fuse.... ended up driving the 1500+kms home without parkers...

Those rijidij rear bars are the bomb! tough as nails! The mrs reversed ours into a HUGE paperbark tree one night, put a little ding in the jerry carrier but didn't bend anything else!

Good to see you had a great trip.

Whats your consensus on the tyres? You like them? I liked them on my 90, even towing the No5 trailer.

Hi Nick,
Tyres are great. No rubbing at lock to lock, or touring with a load in the back, but I still haven't tested the limits of wheel travel / articulation with the larger tyres.

Cue 0530hrs on 05.11.2016. The creek is flowing, the sun is finding its way over the hills around us, and the birds ar going off with their morning song. Here I was, still half asleep, but interested to have a look around to see what the commotion is about. The warm river was misty against the cold air, and the air was full of the chorus of hundreds of birds.

I quickly snapped a few shots, then went in search of a toilet, but not before getting a 13 minute long recording of the birds and bubbling stream.

So, I knocked together a short clip of the sound recording from that morning.
Struggling with some free video editing software, but passable for a newb.

Here is a short video that I uploaded but forgot to make public on my youtube account.
This was the winching operation at the watagan forest after I pretzel'd my exhaust pipe (in july '16)
In retrospect footage would have been much better on the low side, not up on the embankment as the vantage point ended up being.

This was the still from the same event:

For the record, one of my home made soft shackles as between the mule and the 80 series cruiser I was winching off.

Platypus Flat is a wonderful spot. Camped there several times and I'd go back in a flash.
Were any whitewater rafters going in while you were there?
