Gordon Country Easter Weekend
« on: March 29, 2016, 08:11:21 AM »
Was there any swaggers at Gordon Country over the Easter Weekend?

Just seeing if anyone can give me any info of an incident of a bloke needing ambulance assistance after a vehicle recovery.

You get out and in to the world -- you take more @#&$. …You climb a little higher, ..you take less @#&$.  …Till one day -- you're up in the rarefied atmosphere -- and you've forgotten what @#&$ even looks like….  Welcome to the layer cake son.

Hey basecamp, if I have been told the correct version of the story, it was simply somone trying to turn their 4wd around in the wet in the campground and got stuck.
The 4wd was sliding towards a parked car as they where trying to get it out.
The bloke who's car was about to be hit was trying to help and was crushed (not badly) between the 4wd and a tree.

Now, one of the parties in the 4wd is an aquauntance (even that is pushing the friendship) and that is where I'm getting the info.
Knowing this person as I do, there would be a lot more to the story, and I wouldn't be far off I reckon making the assumption they were being knobs in the campground.
Hence trying to find out any more info.

It would have been either Friday or Saturday afternoon or night.

Interesting. ...  The group of approx 40 I will be with at GC; will be a diverse mix of novice campers turning up in corollas; to multi- tour Afghanistan/Iraq army medical ops personnel..
