After a lot of rocky and muddy daytrips 4wding and a cracking recent weekend away its time to clean off the trusty BBQ, get the togs out and wipe down those maxtrax, It’s warmed up, the sun is shining so it is time for a SEQ Beach Run.
This trip will be a long but relaxing day, no hard core 4wding but just sand driving. A nice BBQ lunch (or BYO lunch) , some swimming if you feel inclined , sand castle making for the little (and big kids) and then back some more tracks and down the beach and home at end of the day.
