Attending Dave & Emma - Prado - TL Rob - Suzi - TEC Kelvin - Paj - Guest Shane - Triton - Kiwi Fella Well, it comes as no surprise really, a trip down south, starting at a bakery, and with quite a few trips down this direction recently, the Harvey Bakery has been on display alot. The plan for this trip, was to explore more tracks, and revisit some tracks. And to continue exploring the areas, from a trip we did last year. On this trip, we did just that. We explored a track tha

I have been asked, "'"what's the best way to send my photos from a still camera to whatsapp?". This question has come about, since we recently started broadcasting our trip photos at our general meetings. I will try my best to show you how to do it. Now, I do use WhatsApp on an Iphone, but I assume the Android version of WhatsApp is similar. (Please note, some things will be blurred out for privacy reasons). Step 1. Download all your photos from your camera, and onto your c

Attendees Simon and Diane Perentie. Lin FJ Cruiser. James Jimny. Dave Prado. Matt Pajero. Lee Land Cruiser. Rob Cruiser (Visitor). It has been a while since we had a wander around Wandoo. Mainly due to the signs put up around the area by The Water Corp saying no entry. This trip was going to be in two parts. Firstly north of the highway and secondly south of the highway.

Meeting here for a coffee and a bit of hot food, we did our meeting before heading off, exploring Harvey Dam. It's been such a long time since I was last here, today's plan, well, there wasn't one.

This trip was originally planned to show Graeme (Diane’s Dad) a bit of the Goldfields. We planned to meet at The Lakes Roadhouse at 8am but I was a little late so we grabbed a coffee and a few snacks to sustain us for the journey. We left at about 8.30am and headed for Coolgardie. A few stops were planned along the way so that we could look at a few t

Attending Dave - Prado - TL Lee and Keely - 80 series Lin - FJ - TEC Well, this trip started off with an unofficial breakdown. Lee rang me up, asking for hose clamps as his top radiator hose started leaking, meeting at his house, the situation was just about resolved, as a result, no photos were taken, so this break down didn't happen. With myself and Lee driving in convoy, we headed to out meeting point, by the side of the road, where we were shortly met by Lin. Perfect tim

Attendees: Naomi and Richard Penny and Spence Kathy and Keith Kerry and Nick (Visitors at the time) Lin Tony Tony arrived early to secure a good spot…as you can see from the picture. Naomi and Richard were there next and helped to set up. We were close to public conveniences, but sadly a trek to the Barbeques. This was only an issue for Keith, Kathy, Nick and Kerry (sorry guys). We were lucky and had an extremely relaxing day in what turned out to be a beautiful autumn day

我最近從 GWM Wangara 購買了一輛新車，因為我的舊 Triton 就在她身上最後的腿。我決定用她換貨並買一輛托盤車作為替代品。我選擇 Cannon 主要是因為價格以及技術水平、舒適度和負載承載能力。另外，它們對我來說看起來不錯。 I recently purchased a new car from GWM Wangara as my old Triton was on herlast legs. I decided to trade her in and get a tray back ute as a replacement.I chose the Cannon mainly on price as well as the level of tech, comfort and loadcarrying capacity.

Following is a story showing the importance of having the humble Maxtraxs when going into sandy areas. On Sunday night at 19.11 I received a message from a friend if I had any suggestions with a picture showing his Prado buried to the sills in sand. I asked what his tyre pressures were and suggested to go to 10 psi as he was already on 15. He tried but he was bottomed out and got no movement. The decision was made that I would come to help him. Luckily I had my mighty LX470 r

I thought I would create a "how to " guide on how to create a trip report. Hopefully this guide makes it easy for you, and easy for me, to create a great trip report. To demonstrate this, I will use a trip report that I've recently received A link to the original story can be found here "Qu i ckie to Breton" Emailed trip report The email contains a trip report composed in Word, and all photos relating to the trip. Once saved, I can see clearly see the photos have been label

Attending Dave - Prado - TL Rory & Kelly Colorado 7 - guest Shane - Triton - TEC It's been quite a while now, since I've ran a White Hill's trip, or since I've been fishing, so I thought it was about time. Right until Lin shared some hurtful information. White Hill Rd is closed for maintenance. So I decided to run my trip a little further south, Preston Beach to Myalup. After looking at google earth, the next beach south again wasn't that far away, so, if I could make it th
