Our First 4x4 Driving in the New Truck!!

We set off yesterday to go in to town for supplies & ended up diverting into state forest down a dirt bumpy track for 20 kms..........The first bit of 4x4 driving we have done since owning the 70 series truck & also for this big trip of ours, it will be a test for us & the car! 
A few minutes into the track mark let the tyres down, bit further along the way there was a land cruiser broken down, as we approached mark wound his window down, i said don't stop they could be killers!!......You OK mate mark asks, the guy with beer in hand replied, yeah few problems but we are OK!


Great lets keep going, i am thinking!
We did not sight one bit of fauna all the way!
We both thought that a bit strange!
I am always on the lookout for a koala sitting in a gum tree, as i have never ever seen one in nature only ever at zoos & places like that, where are they all??
Its funny too because we were at times along this track at the top of the canopy of trees!
Anyway we finally reached the end....... To see nothing but miles & miles of beautiful coast line, with sandy beaches, & rolling ocean!!
As we approached the sand, i looked across & saw this streets ice cream van, we thought it a mirage, i couldn't believe you would sit there all day trying to make a dollar, but this place attracts a lot of fisherman & 4x4 enthusiasts, so maybe he makes a fortune??
We drove along the beach looking for a whole, so mark could throw his line in, which he did, no good though
Marks excuse, it was the middle of the day & the sun was shining down on the poor fish & low tide, but i don't believe him!!...... I think i had better take over in the fishing department in future!!!
Back on the track & heading out, we ran into "The killers" again, still broken down, this time i wound my window down, he said they had to send someone into town for some part, they seemed happy to wait playing Frisbees & their beers still in hand!
Not the same ones i imagine! 
We had fun today & just think this is only the beginning of our adventures!

  1. loving the Commentary and pictures (more more lol). Sounds like the memories are building up and you are getting to see some awesome places. Makes me wish I had taken more photos on my trips away.
