Just a few pics of the day.
A few bush tracks and part of an old mail coach run .... Same as Wells Fargo - but our mob was called Cobb & Co.

Got some vid but it looks like it will take a month of sundays to upload em to photobucket .. :bang: ... so maybe later.





ummmmm ... noooo .... this vid .... is the main road to the tracks ... :D

For any Monty Python fans ....

"This here's the wattle,
the emblem of our land.
You can stick it in a bottle
or you can hold it in your hand .... Amen ...."

:D

Staying in the shade I see. Did you get any wood, like you were going to? All that sandy soil. Good to have street tires on that stuff. I had some Michelins that did a great job on the stuff.

Firewood is the main reason for a run at this time of year .. ;)

Street Tyres .. :shocker: ....... All Terrains, if you please ... :p .. :D:D

I know they they look mediocre compared to big mud knobbies ... but they're adequate for my requirements ...

..... since I've got no shame - and will drive around - big wet gooey puddles .. :D

I like Michelin ... bit expensive these days tho - when you factor in staked sidewalls and all the chipping on sharp sandstone ledges.

Looks like you had a good run over the weekend as well ... :cool:

I like Michelins. I ran some when driving in snow all the time and loved them. Not good rock tires though. Sidewalls are fragile.
