Hi guys,
Well with weeks of planing VeeZeeSS, PradoMaster and I were looking forward to spending an extended Australia Day Weekend up at Freshwater Camp Ground and exploring Double Is Point and Rainbow Beach with our families.
Thursday arrived with some showers, but we were optimistic and thought we would head north from Brisbane and see if we could still make a good weekend out of a bad situation with our families, and the unwelcome Ex TC Oswald heading south from NQ.
Well the first two days were not too bad. YES there was some heavy rain at times, but on Friday afternoon the weather was expected to get worse. The ranger paid us a visit and told us we better move on. So with that we began to pack up and get out of there.
I must say, thank goodness because Rainbow beach is getting a hammering at the moment with the torrential rain.
Anyway, it was a great couple of days whilst we were there and all the kids had a ball.
For the 4WD track report, all the tracks were quite firm because of the rain, but a lot of the rutted tracks were very deep and chewed out. My car bottomed out a few times, but fortunately I have the ARB Under Vehicle Protection so it wasn't a bother to me. I would have liked that 2" lift that is on my to do list!
Thanks VeeZeeSS and PradoMaster and all our families, I still had a great time!
Few Pics...
I also made a video with my GoPro2. It goes for about 16min, but please feel free to have a look!
