Tuff Truck Challenge [non truck pics]

After driving the 850 Kms overnight on thursday i passed the small town of Bulga not far from the Tuff Truck site on friday morning.

Pics from Friday:

The Pub at Bulga...


The sponsors campsite with the 5 event courses held in amongst the trees behind...


One of the competitors enters the Tuff Truck site, the show and shine area is off to the right with the mud run behind it...

The crew at 4WDTV ...


When the Friday night entertainment started at the Mud Run this Yabbie was one of many washed up on the bank ... i should have collected them all and had a great feed!


Working hard in the Mud Run ...


Lights, Camera, no action ...


With none of the first few Trucks getting past the first rock pile and long recoveries taking place it was decided to modify the track and lets them run again ..


Not so squeezy ...


Helping Hand ...


High water mark ...


I don't think i should have stopped here ...


Because now i have a mobile mud bath ...


At the end of the night it was good to relax around a roaring fire ...


Saturday:

oops, one of a kind rear steer broken ...


Sunday:

"funny thing happened on the way to the shop dear!" ...

Hailstorm on the way home ...
