Nothing really 4WD related in the weekend...
until sunday night - get a call to say someone hadn't returned from a trip into Macetown.
Go in with another truck about 8pm, find them at Macetown itself by a bonfire with their truck stranded in loose shingle further downstream.
Pull the vehicle out, put the fire out, drive out. Floods have changed things a bit.
Filled in sunday night anyway...

Yip thats about it and often you can find them a fraction cheaper if you know people in the trade but theres bugger all margin in them for discounts.
