normally I'd love to but since I'm in charleville you're a minimum of 11 hours away and a little over800km. so unless you can wait and want to fork over the cost of food and fuel I'm out. (not to mention recovery cartons). start digging and if you've got a long sturdy rope and a spare axe handle try a spanish winlass.

best o luck

Okay Kelvin as mentioned on the phone no luck tonight but can have a couple down in the morning to get you out... a few of our winch vehicles are out of town but MickG can help out....

Anyone else willing to help out in the morning post up here and we'll coordinate.

Cheers

ahh crap. only saw this at 9;48pm, so sorry it's a bit late - do not have a winch but am close to currumbin and would have tried to help, but with MickG in charge and with a winch - i'll head off to work in the morning.
Hope you get sorted! :o

Mick G and myself went down this morning and got them out. Just good to give the truck a run. Bloddy tacky mud.
