Inverell - Warrick - Crows Nest - Mooloolaba

Hello everyone sorry we haven't updated the BLOG we have had 2 really big days with plenty of action

Ill start with the Kombi needing some minor repairs we broke a bolt on the rear drivers side shock fixed on the side of the road by Simon




The moblie mechanics actually lost money on us as he had made a bet that we would get through without their help as we had a really good prepared car.

We got on the road and finished the course.

Rebecca waiting to go down the hill for the water crossing

 Holy crap we where told that this was a water crossing but the water wasn't flowing "it looks like it was flowing to me"


 Half way there we can make it.


 See we did make up the hill what who needs a tow, actually we did seeing all the mud a water from the prevoius 64 cars it just bogged us down, however before us was a 4X4 that needed to be towed from a position less then we go to GO THE KOMBI.


.
This was all the people waiting to cross the water watching the other cars trying to get through, note the commodore when we finally got across it was still not moving.

The afternoon session got called off due to the lenght of time it took to get all the cars across the river.

It has been a tough couple of days with the troubles yesterday and the river crossings today plus the bumpy terain we are all still in good spirits and having a great time laughing and helping the others allong the way.

Got to Mooloolaba tonight and had dinner at the under water world.

We will update the BLOG after the Rainbow beach run when we arrive at Hervey Bay
