Massive mud pit mate. I know there has been notices telling people not to drive but Im still glad to see people are not being idiots. The local track wreckers here would be loving slop like that. Stay safe, warm & dry mate lol.
Thanks Mick,,, we had some good drying weather today, although pretty cool. Thanks for watching :)
Your still have fun and some great stories to tell. Hope you get some sales
Was a lot drier when I was there. Hope you can get out Trev. Have fun.
The rain is a win. Will keep the dust down for a couple of days while it dries out.
We were saying that a definite positive. cheers Trev :)
Left quilpie at 10am on the 5th friday heading west to windorah/jundah turnoff.
I realised after an hour of a lot of moving off road with caravan, 20 footer in tow, that i stuffed up.
Wrong time ....
The bash traffic got heavier the closer to the turnoff i got.
4 hours to do a 2hr drive.
Several windscreen chips and paint chips..
Most drivers were very carefull and slowed down and some even put all wheels off to let me stay on..
One guy in a small suv got right off and when i stayed on ,he swerved back on right at me the off again, not happy.
He didn't realise if one goes right off, the other can stay on possible saving HIS windscreen...
Some have no idea.
In younger years in the NT on single or rocky bush roads it was known by most to drive straight at one another then at the last moment flick off to the side , the rocks are behind and no windscreen damage.
I'd hate to do that here.
When i turned north towards jundah at the turnoff, i heard on 40 that there was an hour wait for fuel at windorah.
Many towns made good money.
Quilpie iga shelves were looking quite bare.
It's certainly an adventure, we arrived at Windorah to a 2 hour que for fuel it started outside of town. We had a breakdown in our group 200km's from Birdy which kept us roadside for 2 hours. The Hema map patrol vehicle had Starlink allowing us to get help and build a recovery plan for the other vehicles, before we continued to Windorah. Thanks for the feedback and watching. Cheers Trev :)
Ha ...we were last year ...had a great time despite the rain
I agree, you just adapt and make it work. cheers Trev :)
looks like 2023, still loads of fun though.
Its a little chilly, everything pretty dry now, the music has been great, cheers Trev :)
Great video. Pity about wash-out
It dried up pretty fast, still a fewwet patches, seems every one is having fun again. cheers Trev :)
Hopefully you get a kickback from Channel 7 for high jacking your youtube feed 🤣. Nice work Trev, you are now trending globally 😎
Pretty amazing for a small channel, thanks Mat :)
And going by the weather report you are going to get a lot more rain coming through which will travel right through into south-east Queensland
We are certainly planning around missing the next weather wave. been lots of talk here. cheers Trev :)
Seems rain in the norm for the BRB now 🎉…..
The boys I'm working with were talking about that. we are all pleased it passed and now dried up. people are having fun. cheers Trev :}
Your footage was on channel 7 tonight
yeah, pretty crazy. A friend messaged me. We are a small channel, all helps. cheers Trev :)
every Scout knows it is called trenching, often used around campsites

I’m at the bash rn it sucks how much rain
Are you still having fun?
Come say gday at the Autophix Australia tent. Cheers Trev :)
same as last year
I was not here last year,, but been plenty of chatter about the rain. cheers Trev :)
last time i was up there the area you all camped in was under 3 feet of water. Do the organisers know this
hi there, I'd say they do, the event has been held in this location since 2013. the last time I was here in 2012 it was a lake. I put pictures in the vid. it dried up fast, been chilly but very well run. this is my first bash. cheers Trev :)
bare foot in that muck wont stick then no heavy feet
We thought about it lol, cheers Trev :)
And the Birdsville track and the development road will be chewed out again by this mob. Will take months to repair.
why why why - in a old lake bed......have worked on events like this....not fun
It was definitely a Challege for a day or so, people are out having fun again. cheers Trev :)
Those shoes definitely look like three queerlows…;)
Them ain’t shoes lol
Love my sandals, easy to get in and out. cheers Trev :)
Because of the rain you're going to urinate a lot more and it's all wet and boggy so you get a bucket piss in the bucket and put a lid on the top.
Never camp in a clay pan,why not go over and camp where sand dunes start,Australian camper are not camper like old Australian in 1960,70,
U camp in the designated area ,U are on private property
We are working here, last time I was here12 years ago... it was a lake. cheers Trev :)

Very bad planning
Nostradamus wasnt available

i was there in 2017, was a dust bowl then. that looks horrible but.
Challenging yesterday, dried alot today. looking forward to the next few days. cheers Trev :)
