Up at around sixish, cooked bacon and eggs for the crew for brekkie. Packed everything up and we were ready to start filming at 8 am. The three cheap cars all successfully negotiated the obstacle in the road after a lot of consultation and a bit of track building although the camper trailer took a bit of a bashing. The three service cars then pursued a different path which after a bit of bush bashing allowed them to make a fairly steep but safe entry into the creek and out again. Then it was onto the Wenlock River where the hard part was not the river crossing but the climb up out of the river to east.
While they were shooting video of this Dave and I cooked up some nachos for lunch. The eating happened in the river as it was so bloody hot.
There was no way out without winching so all the cars either self-winched out or were winched out by another car.
On the short run out to the PDR one of the cars developed a problem and had to be towed out to the main road.
We then turned north heading towards Bramwell Junction Roadhouse. We regrouped at Moreton Telegraph Station and Dave and I continued on while the others did some filming. The PDR to Bramwell Junction was in very good condition and we made good time. As we were waiting for the others we had to have ice creams to celebrate the return to civilisation. No phone signal however.
They eventually rolled in at about 6:30 pm and we set up camp had showers, refilled water bottles and tanks. Then Dave and I cooked up a stew and rice for the crew. We sat around chatting for awhile before heading off to bed. Sometime during the night a wild pig we had seen earlier had got into the rubbish bins. It got chased off several times through the night.
