Went for a little play in the headwaters of the Wilburforce river over the weekend.

H20's rig surprised eveyone (including H20 as well I suspect)
It went really well indeed.
I managed to tip over onto 2 wheels, was really close, but no , no one actually went over. Absolutly bloody amazing that we didn't, but there you have it. :roll:

.

It is an amazing spot of the country though.

Great facial expressions in the last pic!!
Looks like some rather LARGE rocks there

How far did you get?

The bit we were playing on was a waterfall runoff fan. From river bed level I guess we climbed up about 200 - 250 metres.
We then went around the top of the fan, and took another run off back down.
Camera's never do justice to the size of the rocks, but those who were there know how big and loose they really were

They gave the 39's a good work out anyways.

Almost sounds like a compliment for the red wreck but your not far from the truth there Roc :wink:

Certainly an awesome part off the country. Also proved that you don't need a workshop to rebuild a diff or weld on a flange :shock:

certainly a workshop with a view.
