Cheers for the pics, looks like a lot of fun could be had on those tracks :!:

Hope to see more photos, of your own vehicle on the trail, in the future.

You just had to go and say that, half this forum including me will probably be on the next flight over, especially after the crap summer we just had.

I've been 4wding 3 times in oz, once way down past nowra (south of sydney 2 hours) and twice on fraser island and um yeah its a bloody awesome place oz 8)

We are going to book a holiday there in June/July for a couple of weeks and have a look for a job, so will have to see if its worth throwing the old Hippo in a container or sell it if we decide to make the move.

Looks like good tracks following the powerlines too, be even better getting paid to drive them for work 8)

isn't nice to hear a little ford going where heavy trucks can't go , down side is that something will wear out or break if used hard offroad
