we got to Innaminka and our plan was to travel to the Birdsville track by going west,but the road was closed by floods.So next choice was Cordillo Downs road but again no go so back into Qld and up to Haddon Corner via the Arrubury rd. we were merrily tooting along (now here is the relevant bit)with me at the back! the day was warm low 30's and the beer cold, in the fridge. My mates up ahead were chatting over the radio, all was well with the world.
Then I saw the shimmer of water in the distance, was this water in that creek up ahead. Oh, Colin, lets get off the formed track and head off on the two bit,bucked tooth, yes tooth, 'u'orl leev ma sister alone' tyre track. It's OK i'll just radio the blokes to come back and 'found a nice place to hav........'
OH the track is a little moist ...better put it in 4X4 OH the wheel just sunk.. a bit! OK 4X4 willget me back..oops Diff lock that'll work oops Quick radio. This is where you find how far 5Watt radios can reach on the flat earth surface out this way. you also find how far vehicles can travel on the FLAT, SMOOTH FAST roads out here.
'Hey Pete,--,Pete-- can you hear me?'" " Ah, well i gotta winch i'll just ah No tree, what about, Ah no big rocks. well i'll bury the shovel after digging out the tyres.
So that done i dig the shovel in and attach the winch and-- Nuttin.
By Jingoes its gettin warm, man i hate these flies; why did we come out here again??????
Oh Bother that means unhook the spare, oh bother i gotta dig it out from under the ute and the mud!
Now is the funny part, and didn't i LAUGH. I get under the ute dig out the mud lower the wheel, did i mention the heat-yes? drag the- what about the flies? wheel out; started to feel a little DESERTED by now when 'Hey Col, u there?'wafts out of the cabin. i would rather not tell you what happened next as crying rescued men tend to make people a little embarrassed.
Anyways with the winch now attached to a proper anchor point, Petes, car, we were soon laughing and thumping each other in the arms being all manly and stuff.
What a fun day wouldn't give it up for less than 10cents.
Thanks Acko
