You sure are the adventurous soul, even the cold rainy weather doesn't dent your determination.
Lovely photos. I like the misty one. I counted 8 Roos, but there possibly are more that I didn't spy out correctly.
Can imagine how much fun it must have been going for a spin in your 4 wheel drive in those conditions, but knowing how much you know, I'm willing to bet that you didn't do (too many) hand break slides or muddy drifting 🤣
I've been known to be caught in a downpour or two, generally not out of choice though, more out of my own stupidity and lack of good planning. I survived though, so looking back now, not entirely bad.
Most of the driving was low range low gear to preserve some degree of grip on the surface although there was some slightly faster movement as momentum was needed to get through particularly boggy sections. In truth, I hate driving in mud, the clean up takes so bloody long, but at least this time when I left it rained a little on the way home which washed a lot off. The high pressure water at the car wash cleaned the rest up pretty well.
Eight kangaroo's? Hmm, there's six obvious ones, can you circle the other two on the image. There may be a massive, never-been-seen-before, prize coming your way.
Or maybe not. 😁
Low range is understandable if it's slippery when wet. I would love to take an advanced driving course for four wheel drive at some stage.
I concur, drove down a mud road when I took that last batch of photos and the cleanup is not the most fun.
Now I'm doubting myself, but let's see... Not after the massive prize, but did anyone else get close? I'm not 100% sure about the two in the middle, but the shape and colour of the legs looks right. Or I could be losing my mind 😂
I don't recall there being one in the location of your circle second from the right. You could be correct though, they tend to blend in. When I was there and took the photo there were six that I counted. Don't worry though, your handiwork with the circle-maker on that image has guaranteed you a prize...There may be a massive, never-been-seen-before, prize coming your way. Or not. (Note, there's six)
Yep, a driving skills course is (in my opinion) essential. There's too much to know otherwise and a lot at risk: Vehicle and equipment, environmental damage, injury and loss of life. I've done many courses over my time, no shame in it. Maybe you'll get to do one someday.
I need to brush up on my spotting skills, but glad for the clarification.
Perhaps. It would be nice, but would I actually need it considering I don't own a four wheel drive? Probably not. Would it be a need over want for me? Probably not. I'll re-evaluate it if I ever get my Raptor Ranger hahaha, but I totally get why you have improved your skills over the years with courses.
If you don't have a four wheel drive then I'd say a course would be pointless, besides, they'd want you to have your own for the course, fucking up someone else's doesn't go down too well. One can learn a lot from YouTube also I guess, just for curiosities sake, however there's no substitute for the real thing.
I'm not inclined to mess up other people's belongings, I've had stuff of mine wrecked by other people and I know how irate it made me, so no, that wouldn't happen.
Maybe I'll put it on my pot-o-gold list.
I have a pot-o-donut list...in the pot...is donuts.
