    he even broke the strap for us, so some lessons learnt there.
    special thanks to all my passengers for tolerating my driving and rock and rolling [one nearly was a roll!]
    i didn't take any pictures, sorry.
    I've got a video of you being recovered Harry, and next time you try to get the D1 to do a flying reverse kick, give me a chance to get the camera out first! ( just gotta get the daughter to show me how to upload the video I do have). It was a great weekend and an adventure of 14hrs to get home too. I think Steph was sorry she chickened out after I showed her the photo's and video's I took. We did some more good driving on Sunday up through the creek and recovered some Pajero's up the top of Rufus Run. Looking forward to the next one.
    Cheers Ian

    Well, after 2 weeks we finally have a usable internet back today . So the one photo I took on the weekend was of Camo getting pulled out of the big bog hole (sorry Camo, but I did say I had taken one ).



    Cheers,

    What an awesome weekend! WET! I think the dogs had the worst deal Sitting wet all weekend . We only started to get soggy Sunday night But even still what an adventure and Levuka lived up to its "Slippery when wet" title.

    Sorry about the delay in getting these up been flat out the last few weeks

    Exiting the creek run on Saturday (the creek was still dry)








    A little water hole, which got deeper on Sunday!




    Tim made it look easy, sorry a few images of Tim hear as I liked the sequence






    One Rangie OK


    Second Rangie....

    Not so OK

    D3 To the Rescue


    Sorry Camo

    But it happened again!!


    Our Doggies and Kids were still having fun


    Princess Not so much fun

    Even Pete got a bit soggy Sams Chair looks good though


    Then it started to get REAL soggy!
    The creek run became a river run



    The water hole got a bit deeper

    Very brave without a snorkle


    Very prity with all the mist and fog


    Pete spinning a bit of mud


    Our President got a bit soggy

    And Grimace gave this hill a nudge but it just slipped away from him


    Even 35's can get swallowed up in these rutts


    I have a video of the trip home I'll post shortly. That was another adventure in its self

    Cheers,

    Yep note to self.. after new engine install...drive it for a few 100k's before a trip! What a place for the engine to stop in that mud hole. Thanks DJHampson for towing me out so quick!

    Better get it sorted me thinks.. haven't driven the car since Levuka. Will bring it around this week sometime Grimace and see if your fault detector finds the problem.

    Can't wait for the next trip.. hopefully a dry one
