    #189024

    I just replaced the last picture that was doubled up with the one I meant to put there.
    If you click on this one it will come up bigger and you can see the dust off in the distance that shows how far behind I had gotten from stopping to take pictures.

    Well those that followed the ride report as Mick and others updated it will know that getting out of camp at Menindee lakes was looking like a drama

    A 4w4 had slid of the road the evening before and it had rained a lot more since that, so we packed up and got ready to perform what Bollocks said would be the great escape

    Here is some video selections of the escape, the pre escape interviews etc

    :) Some top pics there so far gents,,,
    Bring on the rest please :laugh:

    The wet has given the outback a different look to normal indeed, you are lucky to have seen it so green & lush (also so sloppy) :P
    Next year could & probably will be a totally different story,,,,
