We had a great trip to Coffs Harbour! Beautiful campgrounds and some spectacular 4Wheeling. We saw Kangaroos, Bush Turkeys, Deer, Large Monitor Lizards and 1 very cheeky Dingo. Even though the Jeep is home and fully polished with the road tires back on, I am already thinking about our next adventure.

For anyone that is interested, you can see some of the great photos from our adventure here, (https://www.flickr.com/photos/bmacki...7633841665076/).

Here are a few of the highlights.

I took a full day when we got home to fully unpack, and then another day to wash, polish and switch the Jeep from Off-Road to On-Road. Freshly washed and polished with the roof rack off, the front air dam back on and the road wheels & tires back in place, we were ready for a fancy dinner out on the town.

A few photos:

Great trip and excellent photos.

That water crossing looks a bit dicey without a snorkel... Did you have a water bra on?

Cheers

Yeah I was a little nervous. We actually had to turn back the day before, when the tide was higher. No water bra, but I did squench my face up... my wife said I looked funny, but I'm sure it helped!

Hopefully someone comes out with a nice snorkel for WK2s soon. Airflow seems close, (as you know) but I've also heard a whisper that Stu Murchison might be working on something special. Fingers crossed!

Yeah well done & very inspiring. The car looks great, both in Jekyll and Hyde mode.
