The Camping Trailer that we usually hire was written off a few weeks ago in a accident (no one was hurt, luckily) So I had one week to get our trailer back up to scratch.
After hitting it with the wire wheel on the grinder and a couple of coats of KillRust (the inside only), next was to flip the axle under the springs to give a bit more height and to make room for some new (second hand) ATR tires, greased up the wheel bearings and she was ready.
The new flaps worked a treat as there was hardly any dirt or mud on the front of the trailer. I made them last week!
This time we popped in on Jim on the way up and he then returned the favour by popping in on us at camp.
We even came across another Delica Club member camped there So Hello to 'RuledbyVenus' Nice to meet you and your crew and to tag and be tagged by You. (First time I have been Tagged :lol: )
The weather was superb, Crisp cool nights and clear days.
The kids got straight into the mood of it and took off to the closest mud hole they could find to show me their off roading skills.
I even had to do some 'Roothy' inspired bush mechanics.
And nothing beats a cup of brewed coffee, Hot Chocolate, pancakes and a fire on a cold camping morning.
It's a fantastic drive in and out of this State Forrest, I always find the need of a pic of the view.

The Kids had a play with cylume sticks and long exposures on the camera and this is what we came up with!
We will probably be heading off somewhere again for the school holidays, So a bit more work on the trailer

These are impressive how did you do them? xxx I also have blogged if you go to my site.
That was a co-incidence meeting another Delica guy!
Hey Drew!
You guys seem to always get up to adventures. I really enjoy reading about them as I have not being camping for years! It looks like you had a really fun time.
And 'crisp'? you haven't experienced 'crisp' until you've been over here! ;)
