Elon's always the master at packing his car well for a 3 day trip.

Christie is buring into the junk
|
|
|
Mim just fits to have her picture taken in the beast
|
|

Justin and Mim have their first shot of the trip together at the service centre past Newcastle
|
|
|
Mim is in love with the little Jack Russell
|
|
|
|
Mim wants to take the puppy home.
|
|
|
Buladeelah is as about as excited as country towns get.
|
|
|
With a population of 1100 Buladeelah doesn't know how to make good Cauliflower and cheese pies.
|
|
|
Elon, the captain of the ship
|
|
|
Lonnie looks stunned like a BLOB.
|
|
|
|
We are deciding whether we should camp here.
|
|
|
Time to pack in 4 people into a car that can only fit two.
|
|
|
My car doesn't really fit into this environment.
|
|
|
What a bumpy trip, how far have we travelled?
|
|
|
Mim, Christie and Elon....decide I think we should turn back.
|
|
|
|
Justin and Mim on a long and lonesome road.
|
|
|
Christie and Elon just missed the puddle.
|
|
|
It's nice to finally sit down
|
|
|
Is lonnie comming back or are we camping alone on this beach?
|
|
|
Mim and Justin trying to fill in time
|
|
|
|
The sun will be down very very soon and we don't have a campsite yet.
|
|
|
Here comes lonnie to the rescue.
|
|
|
Mim is relieved that Elon has finally arrived.
|
|
|
How much pressure are we meant to let out of the tyres?
|
|
|
Seal Rock's is renowned for its seals, pitty we didn't see any.
|
|
|
|
Arggg, is that a possum or a large rat.
|
|
|
I think its definetely a RAT.
|
|
|
Mim and Justin look a bit scared with all these wild animals roaming around.
|
|
|
Our fire is blazing.
|
|
|
The tent looks sturdy enough.
|
|
|
|
The beast is tired and rests for the night.
|
|
|
Mim and Justin awake to a fresh sunny morning.
|
|
|
The stunning beach 3km's past Seal rocks makes a nice start to the day.
|
|
|
I hope no one day see me undressing here..
|
|
|
The Campsite is all packed up and we're ready to head off.
|
|
|
|
Mim is trying to get a tan while we await outside the RAAF airbase
|
|
|
Where are all the planes?
|
|
|
Comming in for landing.
|
|
|
*roar* looks like a fighter jet.
|
|
|
We're ready to head off to the Stockton beach Sand Dunes.
|
|
|
|
Mim looks like an angel.
|
|
|
Come on Elon, keep it steady.
|
|
|
I see a sandstorm approaching.
|
|
|
Lonnies making another attempt to get up this hill.
|
|
|
The rugged sand dunes make Elon's 4WD look tiny
|
|
|
|
Down the mountain we go, yippiieeee!
|
|
|
It's really hard to climb up, I know Mim!
|
|
|
These sand dunes must go for miles.
|
|
|
Elon is admiring the views.
|
|
|
Justin is doing rolly polly down the hill.
|
|
|
|
Silver town, its free for anyone to stay whenever they want, so long as its not fill with squatters.
|
|
|
Looks like a guest has just checked in.
|
|
|
4WDing along Stockton beach
|
|
|
I'm allowed to ride in the front seat with Elon, I feel privileged.
|
|
|
There's soo many people fishing, 4WDing and awesome antarctic birds flying around
|
|
|
|
We've made it to the end of our journey in Nelson Bay
|
|
|
Mim and Elon look like they've had an enjoyable trip.
|
|
|
There's still awesome terrain to explore, but maybe later.
