Looks like you guys had an awesome trip. I cannot wait to go back there in 5 weeks for our end of uni week long holiday aka....um p*** up. I love that place.
Have to get through exams first though...

Not the most riveting video I've ever done but as TEC you don't get to see much!

I can't beat it - I only caught a Soul on the way home on Tuesday.

Few pics from me:



















































Couple of recoveries within 5 minutes of getting off the ferry heading home :





Should have a few more from my brothers camera later.

Well I have finally got to uploading pictures. Thanks to Stevo for organising and running this trip, Mark for TEC and the rest of you lot just for good company . Phil seemed to enjoy himself and so did I.

I came away with a great deal of respect for the capabilities of a 30 year old vehicle. Every where we pointed it it went until the last day when we came to start it getting off the ferry and it wouldn't go. Quick push start, a quick winch up the two foot sand cliff getting off the ferry and away we went again. It may not be the quickest or most comfortable vehicle that went over but once in it's preferred offroad environment it kept up with anything and never stopped. We lost a lot of oil out of the front left hub and it seems the engine used three litres in a bit over 1000ks so I have some work to do to find out where that is all getting out.

Anyway a couple of photos -

Setting up camp


Something that happened to the old boy on a trip down the beach on Saturday morning



So I now have a genuine low mileage 30 year old Game. As far as I know it is the first time back to zero for it.

A dingo at Lake McKenzie - it actually got into the back of the car while we weren't looking and stole half a loaf of bread.


When the weather cam in on Monday it got a little unpleasant on the western side.


Our intrepid leader


We got a photo of the Knifeblade sandblow going back the other way to Marks photos. Shows how different Monday and Tuesday were.


A Game in it's element.


Guy trying to beat junior Weeds to the fishing trophy with no success.

Just to say it was an excellent trip, thanks to Stevo for running it. First time we had ever been to Fraser and was an excellent Experience.

Thanks again
Pete
