Well we only just got home about 3pm today after a stop over in Gladstone.

What a week, it went way too quick for my liking!

Both Deb and I had a great time and it was good to catch up with some old friends and meet some new ones. The week was a mixed one with sunny days, windy days and rainy days but the bad weather couldn't damper our spirits. Talking about spirits Debs new drink is Gin and Tonic with Lime! Thanks for that JT and Raewyn.  :cheers:

Oh well back to top dressing the yard with fresh fraser sand.

Thanks for that one Karen

Well on our way back down the Island we did the usual rubbish stop just past the Maheno. All week I've been running 22 psi and stopping up in the soft sand without an issue. Well with the camper on this is the outcome. Instead of dropping pressures it only took 5 mins and 3 quick hits with the Maxtrax and we were on our way again.

Must be those Lifestyle Campers Bretto  >:D.........I think I remember using Maxtrax to get that Camper in tow out of a situation up in the Cape too. ;D

The mighty Maxtrax......  :cheers:

Finally !! All the sand is gone, busted 2 vacuum cleaners in the process and the truck has never looked so clean. Mental note to self "no more donuts with the windows down" Thanks to everyone that came, was great catching up with old friends and making new ones and I am sure everyone had a ball as I know we did. I'll posts some pic's soon as I get time...

Cheers

For a trip taking so long to organise and for an extended period much longer than a weekend, there really is a lack of pictures ???

Hi Karen,

Yes I give the official OKKY DOOKY for the Picture to go up so long as I can see the action shot so I can take the necessary actions next time. Revenge is a sweet fruit that can be savuored and shared.  Only kidding..

Yeah, yeah I'm working on a trip report as we speak and numerous amounts of photo's.  Haven't finished the clean up yet so feel priveleged.  Should be ready to go by this arvo.

And to answer the question about the walls being up.  We had a major storm on Monday and then it was quite windy for most of the week.  Although after the rain we were all too scared (or lazy) to take them back down.
