    Well well well woke up this morning thought I would have a quick look at utube and what a lovely surprise, last time I was crying and watching while you told us all about the Blue Tongue, but this time so Happy to see you out having such fun with your friends Jackson and Maddie, I was laughing at your escapades, I especially loved the Old Car with the Cactus growing out of it, thought it would make a fantastic photo. I want to wish you both all the very best life has to offer in 2024, good health, amazing adventures, see and do wonderful things, the world is your oyster. 🙏❤️😌💃🕺

Seems to me you need some Bridgestone Dueller's or some Mickey T's...to handle that work. So were there any springs or billabongs along the track, or would that only be in wet season?
