SUNDAY JULY 1
(Click on a picture for a full size image)
| We all met at the BP at Yatala, some later than others. Heading of at 9.30am we hit the highway (attempting it in convoy), with all 16 cars. | |
|
There were at least 10 Subarus in the line, a mixture of Foresters, Outbacks, Wagons, Brumbys and the Leone sedan. We headed towards Mount Tamborine and hit the first 4WD track for the day. |
|
|
After a few steep rocky climbs, we got to a creek crossing and made use of the space for a morning tea break. Everyone worked out their line to take over the creek. |
|
| Dave Martin, trip leader, was first over, making it look easy. The rest followed, though not as smoothly. | |
|
We got a bit lost, then headed back down the mountain to then drive back up it again on a different track. Dave took a punt and came up lucky. We broke for lunch at a park, all enjoying a much deserved break. Arnold knew of a good lookout point to view the coast, so we all had a look. |
|
|
The afternoon driving proved somewhat more challenging than the morning. These tracks Dave found at Ormeau. There was a lot of wheel lifting and rock hopping. Pete Algate put on a good show for those following, with his Brumby on some spectacular angles. |
|
|
Among the carnage for the day, Pete Algate hit his driver's side control arm, Greg Bryant damaged the bottom sill and the passenger side doors, and I bent my front quarter panel. |
|
|
The day finished about 5.30pm at the Yatala Pie Shop.....Yum!!!!! Good trip Dave. Love ya work. |
