Dan's father Arthur let us get his lovely new Cruiser well and truly muddy.

July 2001, Roz, Dan, Casper and I met up in Melbourne, Victoria for a week of fun at Dan's folk's farm in Oxley, just out of Wangaratta and up into the mountains around Lake Buffalo. |

Dan's father Arthur let us get his lovely new Cruiser well and truly muddy.
|
A beautiful lttle bridge over one of the many creeks we crossed - and not a troll in sight. | Dan, Andy and Nathan taking it easy |
|

|
|
| Casper crossing the creek in the Cruiser - not enough water for me. :-) | Another break on a mountain top | Dan fixing Andy's bike - We decided we didn't want the wheel falling off after all |
|
|
|
|
| Roz looking very innocent as she loads the magazine of the 22. That's what we want to see - chicks with guns. ;-) | Casper showing just what a lucky shot he is with the 22. | Another track through the forest |
|

|
| Another nice little bridge in the middle over another creek. | Looking for trolls... | ...maybe it washed down the creek. |

| Arty shot of a moss-covered log | Picnic lunch by a cloud-covered lake at about 1000m above sea level. | Dan had the bright idea of keeping our egg and bacon sandwiches warm by storing them on top of the engines of the 4WDs on the trip up... |
|
|
|
| ... Needless to say we managed to salvage only some of our sandwiches from the mud-covered, burnt remains! | Another arty photo of a waterfall over the other side of the valley | Contemplating the remains of our sandwiches. Engine grease doesn't taste all that bad. :-) |

| Sheds on the Parker farm - the lovely 1929 Chevy viuntage car lives in that shed | Roz being domestic | |
|
|
|
| The Parker home | More Parker Sheds | The extended Parker family who warmly welcomed us into their household for the week - Thanks heaps Arthur and Helen for putting up with us. |

|
| Slippery track where Dan, Roz and I came to grief slipping over on our trailbikes... | The cruiser with Andy driving also ended up slipping off the track - that clay is damn slippery. | Stopped for another break |
|
|
|
| The compulsory arty sunset shot | Roz and Deb | Me pretending I know how to use a shotgun - and boy was my shoulder sore the following day. |
