Great trip as always with the fine people that make up GCLRO. Our family enjoyed it immensely, many thanks to Scallops for organising.

Firstly we set up camp where the kids proceeded to round up dinner.

Then it was on to the driving. The countryside out this way is fantastic.

The tracks around were not difficult and allowed for a comfortable speed by all to take in the sites.

In true GCLRO style there were places to play. Here's Pete climbing a near vertical hill.

There were a few other hills around for people to play on.

With all this rain surely there must be a few mud holes around!

Where there's water there's mud and there's sure to be a GCLRO vehicle getting bogged in it.

On Sunday we checked out the views from the nearby Main Range National Park.

And who can forget the dogs. Good having them along, shame more places don't allow them.

I've got 300 or so pictures so if you want one with yours in it, let me know and I'll see if I have a good pic.

Who ever owns that series 2a needs to either give it to me or let me look at it quite alot because it is a spitting image of exactly how i want my series 2a to turn out when im finished! haha. I love that roof, the panels and the colour and pretty much the whole damn thing!

Thanks everyone who attended - we had fun and I hope you did too.

Some real 4X4 driving Saturday was a bonus - even if we needed to put the DARE into effect. Then, another fun evening together Saturday night, even through the rain. Sunday morning it cleared long enough to pack up camp and drive up to the Caldera lip. Those who missed the 2nd lookout missed out - that is the special view from up there, but never mind.

I've just added another Goggle Earth map of the track we took - which was heading due south of camp when we did a 180.

Thanks Dan & Kat for the trip. Shame about the weather but the company was great and scenery fantastic. The only downer was missing out on the geology talk

Daisy giving a lift...

Timj nicely bogged. Always happens...on the way back to camp, close the beer-o'clock, raining, etc

We had a great day on Saturday, it was a real shame we couldn't stay for Sunday. A big thanks to Scallops for leading the trip, and also for his decisive leadership skills.

Cheers, Mick.

This fella was spotted at the lookout carpark.

Thanks Dan for leading a great trip. Pitty the track was going in the wrong direction. It was a great track. (Kat - "Let it go Shepp)

Some great photos as well nice work everyone.
