Yeah-in-derry Trip

For the queens birthday the co-pilot and I went on our first trip with the Nissan Patrol Owners Club drive through the Predominantly Green Hills to a little deserted minning town of Yerrendarri, which we pommes thought was prnounced Yerr-in-derry but apparently these antipedians call it Yourendery.

The official trip reporter (Nicci) will be preparing a write up and once this is available I'll share a link here.  In the meantime here are some shots of the trip:

The Starting Line Up
 
Woodies fantastic Arrows - Look at the size!!

We drove through some gorgeous scenery


We Collected Wood and Set Up Camp

And set up camp next to the local airport

But apparently JetStar don't fly here

We Lit the fire
And let it BURN!!

We were visited by Magic Kangaroos

And the vision of an Angel

And set the camera up for a shot to Capture the great star views

New morning we were visited by a Kookaburra

Who shared our breakfast

After breakfast we gathered ourselves up

and on the way home managed to find a bit of a muddy hole

To have a play in and get a bit mucky



Thanks to Dave and Nicci for organising a fantastic first trip which sets high standards in relaxed attitude, chilled chatting around the fire and quality banter for future trips to live up to.  


And thanks to everybody else for making the trip great fun.

Like the kangaroo's, better than co-pilots camel obssesion !

However the line of white Patrols does look a bit like S-Z road in rush hour !

Kangeroos are, as you might expect, Imogens latest local fauna obsession. Mind you, at least kangeroos are cool to see.

As for the line of patrols it is quite different owning a piper sizes vehicle here. On SZR you are one of many all driving BIG trucks, here it is much more of an event around the city and you feel much bigger than other cars. I've also been disapproved of by a Tofu knitting bunny hugger for have a wreckless environmentally damaging monster of a car. I thanked her for the compliment and left her with a smile (and a cloud of fumes and 5L of revs)
