Thanks for organizing Steve, I definitely had a ball and am looking forward to the next trip up there! It was great to see everyone having a good time, it is rare that you have a driving trip that caters for absolutely everything from easy to epic!

I will try to get some video and pics up tonight

No damage.

I flopped my car in the same spot last time I was there and also did no damage - just rubbed some paint off the roof slider.

It's a pretty kind place to cars considering the terrain.

Steve.

That's odd. I don't recall seeing any police there :/

*trying not to put anyone off* :D

Steve.
although this was a good learning experience for me and wasn't really an accident more of a "lets do this"

If anyone is keen to test their limits on the next trip we are out there I would totally reccomend them come along as this is somewhere you can try stuff out and is relatively safe compares to the normal tracks we drive.
I was almost on my side before I was on my side, that is to say.. it wasnt a big bang, so there is no damage at all and for anyone else who is like me and worried t owrite their car off in the bush, this is a place you don't have to worry about it.
in my opinion anyway.
