Holland track 4wd trip

[Cruisn]

The long weekend came!!! That means only 1 thing, offroadwa group trip!!

We headed down the holland track, about 250km offroad through twisty, dusty, corrugated track.
Due to the very dry weather we have had the track had a ton of dust, and with 9 vehicles in convoy we spent most of the

trip hidden in dust or so far back you couldnt see the other people. But the good news was that everyone made it, we had a

few issues here and there, but nothing that meant people were getting towed out.

We started on friday afternoon, a quick pack up and bleed the brakes the pajero, which is now running slotted rotors and

gen 2 calipers. then it was off to Cades house to meet up with the rest of the crew.

Before we knew it we where hurtling along the highway on our way to the nights first campsite about 30kms from hyden, the

start of our trek.

Setting up camp:

why no other photos of camp? moonshine... haha

Early rise the next day with some frost going on.

But that soon dissapeared and we were making a mile to hyden for a final fuel before heading out

Speed limit on this road: 110km/h, not bad hey?

We arrived at the start of the track and began airing down, 9 cars in total, even had an F250 show up. dwarfs the pajero..

haha

Let the dust consumption begine.

The first section is about 30ish km then you have to cross a road to continue along the track, a bit of fun was had.

After crossing the road we stopped for a bite to eat and to make a trip up to the top of Mt. Holland.

Before we knew it the trail was starting to close in a bit making it a bit more intersting.

The F250 held its own:

Tracking along the dog fence:

Then it happened, we had to pull over to change our first tyre, the f250, being wider had struck a stick on the side of the

track tearing a nice hole in his sidewall.

Time to drink! camp night 2

We had a spit roast going, Thanks to Cade! and I put the camp oven on with some stew that Jackie whipped up for me, shes

the bestest!!

Morning shot of camp:

And we are back at it, covering the miles.

The mandatory drink stop, and time to apply sunscreen.

We didnt make it much further before drink time again!

The bush was dry dry dry

which made for dust.. the outsdie was coated.. the inside was worse..

Then we hit the main road to head to Coolgardie, made a miles here before pulling into victoria rock for the night and a

bit of fun too.

A little bit of play time, flex it up:

Nissans be takin over the flex rock..

Camp for our last night in the bush. sigh...

Brought my new saw to test out.. the blade made it through 3 nights almost. the trees here are super tough to cut through.

But just because it was our last night doesnt mean it was a dull night, we had music, and drinks, and even mood lighting

but like all good things it comes to an end, and before we knew it we were at Coolgardie airing up and topping the tanks.

Covering the 550km back to perth:

And of course the paj gets the last word in.. belt gives out. but like always I have spares.

The trip was a great success, and I would like to thank everyone for coming, along with a thanks to the planners and

navigators that sorted it out. great work everyone!! it was a real team effort!
