"GO MINELABBING"

Hope the Minelabbing day went well and all had a good time.
After recovering from a broken hand and now able to drive I put my bush dancing shirt on and headed towards Windeyer early yesterday. On the dirt just past the Sallys Flat turn off on Hill End road my Troopy failed. There was a subtle clunk noise when I hit a pot hole and I had no rear wheel drive. I put it in 4WD and limped back home in front wheel drive with some clicking/grinding noises when I had to turn tight bends. Now I have got to work out the issue. There is a some oil coming out of the centre of the rear left wheel?..axle?

Sorry I missed seeing you all at Windeyer.

Hi All
A huge thank you to the people who come along to the "Go Minelabbing" day at Windeyer. It was a great crowd and a great turn up.
The participation was wonderful and we all had a wonderful time. At one stage during the day it was estimated 400 people there, amazing!
We are really looking forward to next year and we are already tossing ideas to make it bigger and better.
Below are various pictures from the day, thanks again everybody!

Looks like the place to be for sure as I went to the Brisbane one last year & sorry but wasn't impressed.
These days are huge in the USA too they give everyone shirts hats & a finds pouch such great organizers like these guys down south. I'm trying to get there but still a long drive from the top border.

Awesome effort you guys n gals keep up the great work & support for the customers..
