Moreton Island with the ISUZU factory team.

Fantastic day out, in fact the best day we have had this year. ISUZU supplied 2 factory cars & staff & TJM provided a tricked out 4WD & a representative, then there were 12 of us ISUZU owner plebs.
We learnt heaps about our cars & how to use them as well as having heaps of fun. ISUZU also provide a great breakfast, lunch & afternoon tea.

                   All the ISUZUers getting ready to board the ferry on a glorious morning.

                                                                         Getting on.

                                                    On board & the walkers embarking.

                     Dave giving us the drum on what our vehicles can do & how to do it.

                                            Arriving among the wrecks on Moreton Island.

                                                      Off the ferry & lined up ready to go.

                                                     Stunning was an understatement.

 Whats left of some wartime gun emplacements. The beach has receded leaving them all at sea.

                                                                  Island track.

                                                        Back down to the beach again.

                                                        Another wreck with a story.

                                                                ISUZU Dave.

                                             A break at a very small, basic resort.

                                                                 Resort tent unit.

                                                                    As above.

                                                              Morning tea.

                                                                       Bogged, on purpose.

                                                                          Dig.

                                                            Stick board thing in.

                                              And idle out with no wheel spin.

                                                      Lunch stop for the ISUZSs

                                                                    Lunch pano.

                                                                      Lunch pano.

                                                                            Me.

                                                                         Yvonne.

                                                                        Me again.

                                                            Pano Cape Moreton.

                                                                Cape Moreton.

                                                   Cape Moreton Lighthouse.

                                                                  From the Lighthouse.

              There were 6 whales frolicking, but I was always too slow to catch them out of the water.

                                                             Trendy pictograph.

                                             Tried a few Ks in the soft sand, no problem.

                                              Heading back across the Island.

                                                          Mounting up to head home.

                                                           Farewell Moreton Island.

                                                          Brisbane in the distance.

                                                        Past the Port Of Brisbane.

                     

Car Show & Family

We have been home from the USA for a week now & went to the Hot Rod show in Maryborough where there were over 800 Hot Rods. There was even a short drag strip where there was much noise & blue smoke going all day. The next night Yvonne stayed over at the Lambert residence & knocked over 2 bottles of wine with Laura. I was home alone.

                                                                 Yvonnes' sleep over.

                                 Feeding the eels turtles & ducks at the park at the sleep over.

Last post for a while (Not the bugle one)

It's now Friday, March 1st & we were out last night for our Thursday night pub meal with our friends.

Bostons depart tomorrow in their BoataHome, Wendy & Greg are heading out in their van next week, Sue & Mark are already out, but will hopefully be back for tomorrow nights' dinner, before they head out again possibly to Blaze Aid up North, Gail & Graham are heading South next month & possibly to W.A. We are flying out to USA on Tuesday. So that leaves the cycling group a little thin on the ground for the winter. The coffee shop will have to tighten their belt.

I will once more be keeping a Blog of our USA trip, but this is mainly a family trip to visit Roz & Byron & family in Phoenix. It may, therefore, be even more boring than usual.

We will continue with this Blog, with more inbetweeners, before our next trip, when we return.
