Duck Creek 2014

[Shepp]

Hi all thought I would start the thread off. If I don't do the pics now I never will.
I'm sure Ian will give a detailed trip report, but was a fantastic turn out for a wet day.
Meeting point at Canungra had Land Rovers a plenty.

The new Radiator performed brilliantly in the old girl. Just have to sort out some gearbox issues.

Once again a great trip with fantastic people. Cheers.

Awesome Day Thanks Everyone.

PS Please tell me someone got some shots of the Freelander my camera didn't record anything.

[Shepp]

I'm sure there were a few shots of the Freelander coming down the steep bank. A few people had cameras out.

[Outlaw]

That looked like more fun then sitting in front of a computer at work all day :(

[Reads90]

Great day thanks

Sorry I had to shot off at lunch time

But will be there all day next time

Cheers

[Psimpson7]

Thanks all for a good day. Here are a few pics from us. Must say I was impressed with the new 90 and Sams driving. It made all the little side tracks without any fuss.

Looks like a good one, my day was spent driving from Emerald home. Duck Creek would have been so much better.

thanks all for a great day,


ian, you found a beaut way to get us to darlington park and I enjoyed the drive.
sorry I had to bail early, about 3 hours later than I meant to! but dark and rain were my enemy on the day.
thanks men for the assistance getting the little car off the rock and out of the rut!
I managed to get home without getting wet, but is was mighty cold in the forest heading downhill from duck creek road.
note to self, put on a coat.

[tonic]

Thanks Ian and Phil for the great route, very easy on the eye indeed. Great to see such a big turn out of members and their cars.

Great day

[WhiteD3]

Looks like a great day, sorry I missed it. Anyone have a GPS track of the route?

[pmrobin]

Great to see such a bit turn out. It looks like you all enjoyed the new route and the side tracks.

A big thanks to Ian for leading the trip in my place.

[harry]

My apologies Phil. I forgot to thank you for your effort in preparing this trip

[djhampson]

Big thanks to TLs Ian and Phil and TEC Jason.

Great route, great day, great cars! Except for the Nissan with the fake Land Rover badge.

I convinced Jenny to drive (by lifting her into the drivers seat😁) which was heaps of fun. She drove really well (better than me :mad: ).

If membership keeps decreasing we may have to accept any 4WD with a fake land rover sign ok

Hi All
Sorry for the late reply but the computator at home is buggered and I have to do this at work. WELL, we all met at Canungra at 9.30 for a 10am start. We had 17 cars for the day, including a LandRover Navara. Unfortunately Phil couldn't get there so I was asked to lead the trip and Jason & Les went TLC (Thx guys). We made our way thru Wonglepong and Bidaddaba before coming through to some private property which had a gazetted road through the middle. As we had the Series vehicles up front with no navigators, Steph offered to open the gates (I knew I brought her along for a reason) and Jason and Les closed them again. After a nice 3km drive through the private property over some slightly rutted tracks we emerged in the Kerry valley on Lambert Road. We continued along Nindooinbah estate road, turned left into Cainbable Creek road and stopped at the end of the road in a nice little setting by the creek for a cuppa. After about 20-30 minutes we continued back along Cainbable Creek rd, turned left and ended up back on Kerry road until we reached Darlington Park for a spot of lunch by the creek. After about an hour of eating and talking, we set about doing the run up Duck Creek Road. As you can see in the photo's we had a bit of fun on about 4 side tracks, I and a few other were quite surprised how well Jame's did in the Freelander in the rutted mud tracks on the first side track. Harry was up HJM for the rent, Sam finally put some dirt and mud on the new 90, it was a lot of fun. we continued up the track and veered off to the left for another track which was quite slippery due to the mist and light rain we encountered throughout the day. This track made it's way back to the main track again before another little track off to the left again that crossed the main track and took us up, over a crest, through some mud puddles and back down a steep drop off before re-joining the main track again. Grimace had a few problems with the Disco's rear spring dislocating but managed to get it back in again. We ended up at O'Rielly's resort for a coffee, scones and cream n jam, hot chips and whatever else we could get to warm up the insides. I hope everyone enjoyed themselves, We had a great day and it nice to do a different route. Thanks to Phil for mapping the route, sorry you couldnt make it, hope all goes well for you mate. Thanks to Jason & Les again for going Tail End for me and thanks to everyone else for turning up and being nice to this virgin trip leader. I will post up some photo's later today and put a link up to the Youtube page with some video's as well. Thanks again all for a fantastic day. I have received a lot of comments this morning with all the mud on the Tardis, saying I must have had a good weekend.
Cheers Ian

[pmrobin]

Would be happy to guide you on the route anytime you have the time to do it. Would be just like being a passenger in Merlin:D

Showed a mate from the Gold Coast 4wd club these and he is keen to have a look as is my son. So let me know if you do it and we will tag along as well.
There are a few other video's on my page from The Springs last year as well.

Cheers Ian
