best09 Trip December 1

December 1. Trip what was your best trip?



Gosh, thats a hard one.... We had one big trip over June up to Merimbula for a week. But l think some of our 4x4 trips beat that. Nothing better then getting into a car heading off into the bush, waving goodbye to traffic jams, pollutions and crowds (as well as take away, supermarkets and convience oh and toilets and showers)...



The best trip we did was over the Australia Day weekend. Our Wonnangatta Valley trek. Headed off as it was rather warm, that was going to be a challenge stuck in a car for a 3-4 hours trip with 2 kids who wanted to know "where are nanny and poppy", "are we there yet", "is this where we will put our tents up for the night?", "is it time to set camp up yet?" and l could go on and on.

We spent the 4 days 4x4 around, up and down mountains, across rivers and having a ball and the poor car getting very dirty. But then thats what 4x4 is all about. Had all sorts of weather (no rain thankfully), but did get the one thunderstorm the first night, and talk about an lighting show. You never experience these kinds of lighting shows when in the "big smoke". It was amazing to watch and just went for hours and hours.

Wonnangatta Valley was amazing and is this little valley amongst all these mountains and just rich in history. I love history. It used to be a cattle station and the only way in was via foot or horse. Their is a grave site and the house still stands today (well rebuilt).

Was just amazing to get out for the 4 days and just be with the bush. The best thing about having a 4x4 is getting out where 2 wheel car's cant' and just enjoying the peace and quiet and of course the boys love their BIG toys and love to see what their cars can do.

We also did a lot of 4x4 around Mansfield and the High country at other times of the summer and Easter.

Prob not a good entry, and a lot harder then l thought. Trying to remember that far back is hard... or maybe its just the time of night and l am tired.... well we shall see what tomorow's entry's brings.

Till then.
