    Western NSW - June/July 2012

    Bright and early we met at Aratula for the adventure down south, and what an adventure it was

    This will give an idea



    Who said it was cold, love the jarmies



    I am sure more pics and video will be added

    Slow water crossing.
    [ame="http://s293.photobucket.com/albums/mm50/RangierRover/?action=view&current=SlowclubatCoolahTops.mp4"]Slow Water crossing video by RangierRover - Photobucket@@AMEPARAM@@http://vid293.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid293.photobucket.com/albums/mm50/RangierRover/SlowclubatCoolahTops.mp4@@AMEPARAM@@vid293@@AMEPAR AM@@293@@AMEPARAM@@mm50/RangierRover/SlowclubatCoolahTops@@AMEPARAM@@mp4[/ame]


    This is a short video of a slow water crossing on our way back from a beautiful family outing at the "Pinnacle" Coolah Tops on the same day as the last image above. -4.7 was recorded at the main House under cover so may have been closer to -8 at the camp site. We came home to discover a pipe busted and all the water drained from the gravity water system at the Hilton. The issue was of course very quickly rectified by the Slow Club and the day was saved for the evening ritual showers.

    just a few more photos from us.






    A very sloooooooow BBQ at the tops. Mr HH did a fine demonstration of making smoke signals with the bush BBQ.
    Kids (big and small) enjoyed some ball sports followed by a divine BBQ lunch followed by a nice relax in the sun then a few walked out to the Pinnacle to absorb the views before the venture back to camp.

    During the day we had several hold ups including more water system repairs, a photo shoot with the local press and then rescuing a certain S11a 109 door mobile from our local mens shed during the trip home. Some of the events that followed are not fit to post here. Especially the following day.

    That will be about it from me for now, I'll let the other members tell the stories and events as they unravel.

    Sure hope we can do this all again some time. We can always improve on the past trips so I will keep something special as a surprise for the next visit.

    What a great trip. Thanks to the Trip Leader, all who came down on the trip and to our Hosts Rangier Rover and family for looking after us all. A special thanks to all who assisted mechanically in keeping the 2a running from lending me a starter motor,getting their hands dirty or towing me to saftey

    Well done to all.

    We all talk about it.
    Good to see those that make the effort and make the rest of us wish we were doing the same.

    A couple of pics from the trip upto Coolah Tops.



    some footy (I think we won by 1 point )



    one of the great views



    one way to fill the LH tank





    Nan & I stopped to grab a bite on the way home and Herb and the "Road Runner" pulled over for a chat.





    shot of my GPS after getting home around 8 o/clock on Saturday night



    don't remember the 97.3 kph, but might have been on the down hill run-up to Moonbi The workshop (with camper) sat on 85kph (where possible) most of the 13 hour trip home and with the exception of a minor flooding on hot start issue, did not miss a beat.
