Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

Hi Guys

glad to hear everyone got home ok and the number plate can be reunited. What a great bunch of people. Thanks Jo for taking Jane's kids home for the night and offering them a bed for the night. Last we heard the little girl was ok but kept in overnight for obs. Hope all is well this morning. (Jane we have a plate of yours) Thanks for the beer Sarah, hope you had a great time

I think people found out what their vehicles were capable of, more than they thought!

Mark and i were thinking on the way home - what next? How are people fixed between Christmas and new year - it'll be really quiet for us, no family to please - we thought a bush camping expedition overnight - no tide to worry about! Or sand to wash off. I will have a look for a suitable spot with some off rodaing!

Tracy and Mark (Longreach)

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

Great!! Thats us!! Thank you! When we were rushing to meet the ambulance and the creek water was up to our windscreen (and no we didn't have a snorkel!! :eek:) it must have come off! Didn't notice till we were back in the car park!

Everyone was saying in the pub that it had been found but you must have gone straight home?

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

Yeah the little girl is fine and should be able to go home today :thumbsup: The boys were also fine and were really pleased they didn't have to go to school today! Thanks for bringing them off the beach 'cos I don't think we would have got through that creek again! And thanks Darren & Leanne for bringing our daughter back! Sooooooooo glad she wasn't car sick on that track!!

And as most of you missed it, just wanted to let you know that Deb is fantastic in an emergency. Real action stuff - jumping from moving vehicles, screaming at the general public and flagging down rangers! Really pleased you were there! Worth taking on any outing!! :thumbsup:

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

We are so pleased to hear that the little one is okay.
The boys were so good they just kept on playing with the other children and catching crabs.
Hope Jane and Andi are okay also.
Well done to all that went with Jane and Andi.
Dean & Karen

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

For once in my life this is one of the few times I don't have any although I should have had hundereds considering the adventourous day we all had.

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

Hey Andy,
Welcome to the site, I spoke to you briefly yesterday on the UHF.
We're just down the track from you in Tiaro, there were another two couples from Gympie at our Bribie meet as well so nearly enough for a Maryboro' Hervey Bay meet.;)

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

Well of course he was driving...i had to do the important task of navigation..and we all know men cant do that job...lol
It went something like this.... watch out for that bit of sand, why dont you stay in everyone elses tracks, why are you looking at the sea watch the sand....and so on....lol.....:rofl::rofl:
And most importantly dont take your hands off the steering wheel....dont ask about that one..:rofl::):rofl:;)

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

:thumbsup: We had a great time too...well worth getting up early on a Sunday for!

So glad to hear the little girl is O.K and on her way back home, it's scary how quick and quietly these things can happen.

Our kids had an awesome time, even if they asked if we were going to die when we had to turn around with the sea coming in fast!!!:lol: and when we got back my 8 year old boy asked to go to bed when we got in (otherwise unheard of:lol:)

Here's a couple of my snaps, can't post others as they all have peoples number plates on display and I'm not technical enough to 'black them out'.

It was great to meet so many lovely people...although I didnt personally get to chat to everybody. See you all again soon...Sarah,Lee and gang:thumbsup:

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

Hi Everyone

THANK YOU

As most of you know we made a mad dash with debs i'm sure the rangers wondered what had happened (great in a crisis), followed by Jo and Paul, with Abs to the Car Park where we met the paramedics and ambulance crews. Air Ambulance was also in attendance at Surf Club but in the end we travelled by road as Abbie was very agitated with stats all over the place and with the lack of oxygen at altitude she may have needed incubating which the paramedics were reluctant to do (Thank god, been there done that don't want to do it again). However the flight crew did travel with us with copter on stand by should we need it.

Just thought would let you all know ABBIE was released from hospital this morning about 11am, kept in for obs overnight as oxygen levels hadn't returned to normal for a 3yr old and there is known to be a 7 hour relapse from these type of instances.

She explained to the doctor that she had been practising blowing bubbles but it didn't seem to work, but her star float was excellent.

Thankyou all for helping with the boys especially Jo, Debs, Paul, Mark (and respective partners, sorry if i've missed anyone it was all such a blur) we will be forever in your debt.

Jane, Andi, Abbie, Callum and Aidan

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

Hi Jane and Andi,
Thankyou for letting us all know that Abbie is okay.:thumbsup:
Your two boys were so very good, they just played with the other children catching crabs with no bother what-so-ever.:thumbsup:
So glad to hear you are all home safe & sound.

Karen, Dean, Jayden and Caitlin

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

Just wanted to add Debreeze...Deb & Kev. Thank you.:thumbsup:

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

Soo glad little Abbie is feeling better...bless her, big hugs (((((HUGS))))). Thanks for letting us all know she is ok.

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

Glad to hear the little un is OK, Not sure who i met yesterday but my lad was the one in the newcastle top. He recovered enough for us to make the trip even though we weren't there long before the mad dash off the beach began.

Me n the missus were the ones walking along the beach, and we made it all the way back to the car park long beore our kids did in the 4WD.

I had no shoes on and the sand was like bloody lava!

How many of you ran over the big turtle?

Jazzys

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

what the fk happened to the little girl?????:confused:

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

;)

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

Would also like to say its great to hear that the little girl is safe and well I (sorry we ) would like to personally thank Cap'n Fluffy for taking on board the organisation of this event and would also once again like to thank him and Caroline for taking us on board for what was a terrific day which wouldn't have been possible for us otherwise (That's enough slavver !!)Twas great to meet the people who we hadn't previously met and hopefully we may well bump into each other again sometime (thinking along the lines of the golf next week then mooloolaba the week after:thumbsup:)Sorry didn't get time to meet everyone at the beach as it did get bit hectic after i'd been used as a dipstick to check the depth of the water!! but did meet a few more at the watering hole :thumbsup:

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

So pleased to hear Abbie is ok.
I think that she should become the BE Mascot after her little adventure.
I'm not at all religious but someone up there was sure smiling down on this special little girl.

It will be a whole lot harder for Jane and Andy to get over the trauma of the day and it was great to see the members of BE pulling together to assist people they had just met and in some cases not even spoken to.

Cheers

Deb

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

Hi Andy, No we're not members of Delica Club I only found it the other day from a previous link i think you posted but i will join it'll be good to catch up with other Delica owners.

Sarah, you're more than welcome hope you had a good day. Here are a few more pics.

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

Glad to hear you are getting it back.
Glad to hear the little girls getting on ok!
Yes Jo you didnt tell us Jamie was prone to car sickness till we saw you at the pub, but she was great.

What a fantastic day!!!! Sorry we didnt get round to everybody.

Yes we were the ones with the black pipe everyone was asking about on the back of our roof rack.(Hot water).

It may sound strange but im glad we couldnt cross the creek and had to go the other way...Wow what panic!!!!Then 22 k`s to the bitumin.Great story to tell.
Hope another is organised!
Darren , Leanne Charlie and baby Summer

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

If she had of been sick it would have just added more excitement to your day! :rofl:
Do you wanna take her on Friday?

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

Mate she drowned...she was actually floating and was brought out of the water lifeless.:thumbdown: It was at the laggon and happened in seconds as everyone was pre-occupied getting food ready for the barbies...thank god she was saved...and is ok after a hospital visit by helicopter to Brisbane:thumbsup:

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

You see - if you'd taken the Pathfinder instead of the Triton you could have followed me (in the Pathfinder), Ann in my Ute (the white Navara) and Andy in his trusty Jakeroo through the washout to get back off the beach. That was one of those "hmmm, should I really be doing this??" moments, but boy was it fun!! :thumbsup:

I vote for off road mountain tracks next time or a camping weekend in Landcruiser park or on Mt Mee

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

I reckon we should get one organised, and perhaps as suggested over the xmas break.

We would deffo be up for at least a friday to sunday jaunt.

Camp fri and sat night.

Barby, chit chat... and some semi safe off roading !!!!! you NUTTERS !
