Sorry, Dave, but I was driving back form Coonabarabran then. How did it go?

The trip went well. Because it rained a few days before hand, we didn't take MaxTrax, and didn't even lower the tire pressure to cross the soft sand.
The temperature was only 26 degrees, and was overcast, but the wind wasn't too high. So it was fairly pleasant on the sand.

The lagoon has again completely changed. It was almost like going to a new location. The lagoon must have briefly broken through to the ocean because there was a deep (well, 1 metre) channel in the lagoon.

BTW Ben .... nice new icon, but the vehicle needs to be covered in mud or sand
