G'day all,
For those that came thanks for making it a great night of campfire yarns. Elfreddo, thanks for the gourmet burger too.:p
Everything went well, some good tracks driven, with just enough rain to keep the dust wet down.
I didn't take a camera, but here's a vid off my phone of Elfreddo in his mighty wagon climbing a steep hill.

Here's Pezimm's Forester in the same spot

Cheers Jake

Those videos don't show how truly steep the climb was. Great fun!

Time to get uploading on my pics to show as well ;)

Cheers

I think these speak for themselves, I'll have some commentary where I think it's needed ;)

One of many open mine shafts to be found around the forest - scary stuff!

This is what it looks like when you're standing a short distance away from it:

The last pick of the group before we saw off Rodeo4Jake who headed north back towards the Pig and Whistle while Pezimm and I headed further south on Nuggety Track then split ways near Baccus Marsh.

Great times had.

Cheers

I thought you boys would like them!

I managed to take more than I initially thought :D Much better than not taking any at all!

Cheers
