He found us in Nelson, Vic as we have a couple of days here before heading to Healesville, Mansfield, and then Bright.

Coming back from Boggabri today I saw two sets of possible my swaggers - one of them was in a whole pile of hurt..... poor bastard
1st lot where beside the Kamilaroi Hwy 10 mins south of Boggabri - A GIC camper and another one I didn't recognise set up next to onw of the bridges. I think I spotted a myswag flag so I tooted
The Second guy was in a black diesel 120 Prado with lotsa lights on the front bar and towing a complete campsite. I came up to him in the last 10klms of the Kamilaroi just before it ends at Willowtree. I saw this guy from a long way away - he was in the midst of a massive diesel plume. The 120 was pushing it out in massive amounts - was positively un-healthy.
When I rounded him up the motor sounded very unwell, and I could hear it even with my windows up and pulling hard in 4th gear to get around him. He looked very unhappy behind the wheel
I feel bad but I didn't stop, I had no mechanical ability to help him and he was just about at Willowtree so i assum he stopped there
Whoever you are mate I'm sorry I didn't stop but there was nothing I could do apart from sympathise. I hope you get home all right and that your Prado gets sorted without a massive bill
Cheers

We packed up the camping gear and headed for the hills at the back of our farm, had a 50 acre padock all to ourselves (apart from 5 bulls and lot's of roo's) with valley veiws and an endless supply of firewood. We had an easter egg treasure hunt with the kids, some card and board games and of cause the campfire, loved it all.
The best bit is that it is only a 15 min. drive to get there.

No pics from me unless you want to see my lounge room. ;D
We stayed home as I was on call for work but next weekend will be different as we head off on our 8 week road trip up to Darwin and back woo hoo!

Aussie Blue and Bill - I am seriously jealous!!!
Those camping spots look awesome. You both will have to explain how to get there when we meet on Sat night.
No camping for us over Easter unfortunately. Hubby on call for the week. Oh well....
Now, don't feel too bad for us - we are heading off in just over 4 weeks on a mammoth 5 months trip to Broome and back!! (sorry, but just a bit excited. heehee)
Have a great week.

Mate. Mate, mate.
I feel for you. I really do. I know how it is, been in same/similar situations myself before
Do have to have a laugh though mate.can't help but have a giggle. Just after reading your reply on the other thread,first aid kit contents,about women's time of the month pads, couldn't help but think of your predicament and the need for those pads and your reply......... got to see the funny side.

(https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/557738_10150937594252995_648317994_12984621_439290918_n.jpg)

but it was still fun!!!
then back to set up the fire for our first camp oven cook off.
(https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/578070_10150937596557995_648317994_12984649_411717656_n.jpg)
with our tin tents in the back ground.
off to get some more yabbies, the damn owner doesnt like yabbies so we were able to take what we liked!!
(https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/563667_10150937642187995_648317994_12984896_463167244_n.jpg)

so after dinner was eaten and cleaning up done, things went quiet around the camp fire.
There were lots of silent moments as we all came to realise that this was our last night before heading back to the hustle and bustle of life.
(https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/578410_10150937649847995_648317994_12984982_1071660932_n.jpg)
silent but not without smiles all round though....
Day 4
So after a few days teaching the 11yr old to drive we felt it was time she got to take a big toy out.
351 xf panelvan + mud + 11yr old = A smlie that cant be wiped off!!!

At The Condo 750, AWESOME !!!

The bunny found us at Amamoor State Forrest, west of Gympie, with DazznBec(formally known as Dazza78), Gregandleanne, V8Ute and a few other friends. Had a great time doing a bit of four wheeling and kicking back relaxing.
-
We consider ourselves very lucky in that we have access to Private Property ( Not far from Sandy Creek ) .
The grass looks good because we go and mow the weekend before .
The far edge of grass is the creek bank , and the tree has the rope swing in it , which is the only way to hit the very cool water ....
It's also a favourite place of mine for photos of the trees and creek .
And I love the end of the day watching all the black cockatoos flying over ( about 60 of them )
