I just uploaded 4 photos to the facebook group page.

The day was rather easy (to easy) but we found some good mediumish tracks.

Tracks we drove were

1. Happy Jack Track (Rawson)
2. Rum Road & Narrows Road (Rawson)
3. Cooper Creek Track (Walhalla)
4. C7/R7 Track (Tyers)
5. W30 Track. (Tyers)
There must have been more but I can not remember the names etc.

Thanks to

Chris (Vitara)
Steve (Seirra)
Kyal -prospective new member (Jimny)

It was a good day and we did not find any 4 O'Clock tracks.
Although C7 had an interesting bog hole.

Walhalla certainly is a nice spot to visit. The area missed out on the rain that came through Melbourne overnight so it was a bit dry and dusty. The tracks were all easy, but a bit of rain would make a couple of them more of a challenge. A return in the wetter months might be worth considering. Also we only covered a fraction of the area. Should do a weekend camp to have a better look around plus avoid a long commute from Melbourne in one day (in a slow and noisy Sierra at least).

Had to make a few U turns which introduced me to the joys of a mini spool and the twisty road into Walhalla did not make the Sierra happy either.

Ended the day with a cool river crossing, once we cleared all kids swimming in the river out of the way, and then found a little mud to dirty our river washed cars with.

Didn't get many pics. All I have is a few stills of my Sierra and short vid of Andrew in the mud. Andrew took some of the river crossing which should be good.

And you can get fuel at Rawson again.
