    Quick play in the creek runs this morning.

    Grimace and I headed out for a quick run to Ormeau again early this morning to give the new drive line a run and try the new tyres in the dry as it was drenched last time.

    Went realy well with everything we attempted being driven and no breakages, apart from Griamces rear bumper.

    Heres a few pics: (p.s. Let me know when you get bored of Ormeau pics and I will stop posting them )

    The cars:





    One of the interesting line choices:



    The teacup:



    Where I broke a rear axle last time. drove easily today:



    Bit of rear bar work needed:



    Grimace running about 1psi



    Me running about 10psi













    Quite an interesting rock section. There were a couple of fairly deep sections of water too. nearly 3ft deep in places.

    Hi Kelvin,

    If you go in the lower entrance, drop down the bank, to the creek, and turn right into the water. Follow this all the way along until where you would turn left to head to the teacup. Now instead of turning left, head round to the right in the water for about a hundred metres. The photo of us is coming back the other way over the 2 large boulders there.

    Rgds

    Hi Pete, as soon as I saw these pics and the others that you'd posted up before Iv'e been thinking that I need to get up there for a run. Just looks awesome and l love that gully stuff. There is no chance that I'll get up this Xmas as I've just finished building a house and so wil be living on bread and water until a few things are finished off. I'm a huge fan of Fraser Island and used to head up there every 2nd year but haven't been up for a while. Next trip north I'll have to catch up with you hoons so you can show me the perils of Ormeau!!
    Cheers
