we went out to lake mackay yesty, the 60ks out turned out 90 odd! took us just over 2 hours and had lunch there before coming back. only bogged the ute once, trying to show off and get all the way in 2wd, or, as the driver awareness instructor suggested, it helps to practice recovery skills from time to time. dug it out and ran back down and went over easy in 4wd. great country on the way out.





seen one salt lake, seen em all?


dopey bastard ran along in front of us for about 1/2 mile before he got off the track!

We need to get permission from the chairman to go out to the lake, but, jimmy is a good bloke and dont think that will be a problem, will ask him next time he comes into store. there is an on going joke between Mick(store mgr) and jimmy about going fishing out lake mackay, we have frozen barra in the store they claim they caught out there, it case you havent guessed, lake mackay is a dry salt lake.
