Thread: Busy weekend.

Wheel in the river of mud.


Mud in the light of day


Waist deep holes


More mud. It looks solid but you just sink


Fender stuck in a tree


Some more pics showing the tree and some of the trench marks getting the rig out still to come.

What have you been doing there? I thought you were fixing plumbing issues this weekend, not playing in mud!

Steve and I had a play. Had to cut the Fender out afterwards.

wheel trenches. The white bit is a tree stump we found.


more of the tree

looks like you needed a tirfor and an extention strap..............

what was the winch you used or was it all snatch straps?

Hi Edd
Its not just Discos that get to spend a nite out in the bush
Bet you were relieved once it was free!!!!

OK I confess.

That's the back yard.

It started as digging up the sewerage but in the dark and the storms of last night we struck the storm water system! I don't know how much water we flooded the block with but it was heaps. I now have broken storm water pipes, leaking water tank and trenches through the mud that was just flowing down the block. The truck was set up as a light platform but got stuck in the tree and then sank. The only winching was of damaged trees and bushes. We should have known how bad it was as we were sinking ourselves yet were still willing to take the truck in.


Now I have a 1/4 acre mud wrestling pit that needs to dry out before further work can begin. New retaining walls will go up once everything else has been replaced.

My block is just like the jungles you see in the camel trophy. It's the first time I have ever dared to take the rig down there.

I'll swap you my place here in the patch (kapooka) for your joint.
