im sorry if i didnt put up your car, just tell me which car you want to see and i'll throw some up. i will also give a Stick of pics (nearly 600!!) to the editor of the club mag to sift through

First water crossing:




getting foggy further up the mountain



and the "Yowie of the mountain":

Good pics was a good day

there is many pics of all of us heading up the hill, altho the whingers will whinge.

this one should be 'G' rated enough



"Hi, My name is Mary... Hiii Mary"



Oh were stopping for another great scenery photo opp??

No just wait... Yarney broke something...

Final water crossing, (just going on last light of the day)

great pics. where were use?
although not a subaru i like the suzuki jimny

Hii Green_Eyed_Liberty, Pity the hat is a bit big but the colour suites me don"t you think???? LOL Will keep it in the car if there is ever a chance you or anyone else might need it! I am daring that is why I have Mad Mary on the back of my car. Far from any princess.

Great pics, LOVE the line up in the fog

Crikey, check out the size of those tyres on the Brumby

What happened to Yarneys Subie? Hope not serious...

Looks like you guys had an awesome time...bet there were leeches though lol

They are great photos aren't they.
My right rear wheel bearing failed we had to drive about 40km with a nonexistent bearing, Not good it was 2nd gear all the way we cooled it down a couple of times and the creek crossings helped.
By the time we got to a place that had a land line (no mobile service) to ring RACQ she was cooking with metal filings around the wheel and the tyre starting to melt on the side wall.
Yes not the best time i have had but with the help of club members i got home even tho it wasn't in my Liberty.
This is why it's always good to join a club you wont get left anywhere:D
It's siting out the front of my place now saying got you again:twisted:
I would like to thank everybody for staying with me

Oh PS i didn't tell you that the gear stick decided to pop out of the ball joint for a minute i thought it was internal problem. Then i would have to leave the car there till i got another gearbox and hub.

Looks like you guys still had a load of fun even with the change of route that I've read about (in a thread that got a bit heated for a while!). Some good looking water crossings in there, love the look of the last one!

Jan, probably time to whip out all the bearings, slap some new ones in and pack some fresh grease into the CVs. Better also pack a spare gearbox for your trip down south - I know what your track record is like with these things, should I be arranging a spare??

Glad you got home in the end - to me it doesn't matter whether you're in a club or not, those you wheel with should be there to help out no matter what... At least I know I am for others

Keep up the good work fellas (and ladies!).

Cheers

Thanks for the comment Bennie

Lol your right about the gearboxes but the liberty will not be coming on the Victoria trip:( i want a lot more comfort and power.
My GT Forester will emerge very soon from it's written off state to a very capable Subaru offroader;) and no more manual box i'm over them.

More pics of the kitted out Brumby please.
Shame about your Subie Jan.
Looks like it was a good trip!
Fog in January?!?! Well we have almost had fog here in the hills, Wet, cold, rainy.

Cheers Cam
