October 16, 2010 at 10:36 pm #188723welcome home guys. soundin like u had an awsome time. havnt seen my ute yet but have missed it. keep the photos comming cause l cant read
October 16, 2010 at 10:57 pm #189020And so to some pictures
Ready, set, go! all geared up.

Strange rock formation near Dunedoo


Heading for Trundle just outside of Peak Hill



Onto the dirt,




Trundle


The bikes at Condo in the morning

Support vehicle weighed down to the axles

Ride pictures (not necessarily in the right order though)





Waiting for the support vehicle that never showed


The reason it never showed

Just up the road and the first (and maybe only) off for the week.
Just too slow to get it on it’s side



Where Nick went off trying to avoid TB

Lunching at Ivanhoe while Nick is in with the doctors

Our awesome support crew

Bike shine and dust are a bad combination

Menindee Camp Site


Day 2 and Eastward, ever eastward




Looking Back

Looking Forward

There were a few gates

Some shots on the go






More random shots










Then to Yunta and the weather closed in



The next morning heading back to Yunta


Morning tea consisited of a beer and a snack


Then to broken hill and Silverton



Where the super support crew cooked up a storm (as if we hadn’t had enough storms
)
Bol’s Marinated Pork

Gaz working on the mash

TB and Boulder again working on a different route

Wild horses on the road back to Broken Hill

Some lovely wild flowers on the great sandy trail (I made that name up)

Back at Menindee and set up camp


And then the trouble started, rain all night makes goop of the roads the next day

The support vehicle on it’s great escape

the Strom after escaping the muck, actually thinking back I wish I had taken some photos of the tracks I had left to give you an idea of just how much I struggled but I was thinking of other things at the time.

And finally the wet run to Cobar the long way round.







That only leaves a couple of videos to come.October 16, 2010 at 11:53 pm #189021Oh shit there is some stuff to unpack, dry, clean and put away would be easier to go on another ride :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Oh well back to the grind

What a awesome ride cant wait till next year

October 16, 2010 at 11:57 pm #189023Jeffro thats the best ride report ive ever seen. :laugh:
October 17, 2010 at 12:15 am #189024I 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.
October 17, 2010 at 1:05 am #188725Great report Jeffro and the photos are just fantastic, what a exprenice you all have had glad the erveryone is home safe.And the support crew looks like they have done a great job a good support crew makes a big difference.I think a lot of OB have enjoy the tracker and the feed back from King Crsah and MickMeld.
Cheers Strucky

October 17, 2010 at 2:42 am #189004Well 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
