Every now and then the moon and stars and moon align, and I get the opportunity to take off for a couple of nights with the guys who introduced us into four wheel drive touring. This is a part of Australia that we have not spent much time exploring, and I was looking forward to changing that. I also knew I was in good company. These guys have forgotten more about four wheel driving than I'll ever learn - and I was eager to pick up some tips.
Jo had given me a leave pass for a few nights, so I packed the car with essentials for a solo few nights. A swag, some beer and a ten minute run around Aldi had me stocked with enough food for the adventure.
Jo's only instruction: "Don't break Rocky!"
I confidently assured her that I wouldn't do anything silly and would bring the car back in tip top condition in a couple of days.... How wrong I was!
