On the way back from our road trip some of the ladies wanted to look for bush tabacco to take back home so we had to take a little detour off road until Jane was instructed to stop the Troop carrier near a rocky hill....this had to be the spot to look.
So with keen eyes Christopher and I (being the youngest of the group) were instructed to climb up the rocks, looking in all the crevices for the highly sort after small bush with grey leaves and berries.

| Unfortunately we were unsuccessful in our mission but it was a lot of fun climbing up the hill and looking out over the landscape |
So we didn't manage to find what we were looking for but that is not the end of the story. It is when we all clambered back into the troope again and set off back towards the road that the really excitement began.
We got bogged.....sand dune bogged.
Everyone got out to help dig and lay branches under the wheels. It was actually really good fun and with a lot of help we were soon back in the car and on our way home again.
 |
| We all jumped out and helped dig our way out. branches and sticks were laid down underneath the back wheels in order to add a bit of traction and stability and Jane also let the a bit of air out of the tyres |
 |
| It was a group effort to get out of the sand with lots of helpful yet conflicting advise given...everyone had a different solution. |
 |
| Tracks in the sand...do you think anyone would know we got bogged here?? |
 |
| It wasn't long until we had freed ourselves from the sand dune and were on the road again. This is the road home...... |
