Figured I'd put this up here.
I went fishing with two of my mates out to the Cato river in east arnhem land, it was an awesome two days we caught and released nearly 70 barra with nothing that was under 70cm and a couple that were pushing 100cm. Well anyways that was the good part of the trip.... After retrieving the boat and head off up the track on our way home.
As we are driving along we come across a white duel cab hilux stuck in a bog with no one around.
With no way around it we hook the hilux up to the cruiser with the boat on the back and we drag this hilux out of the bog, just as we get it out the guy comes back thanks us and detours this bog hole and continues up the track, we proceed through this hole with no problems and we think that's the end of that drama.
About 10 mins later we come across this guy hobbling up the track and we think what's going on now. And then we come around the corner and see this.
(my two mates posing for the photo)
He's sped around this sandy corner lost control and tried applying the brakes and instead of stoping he goes head first right into this tree. As you can see the right hand side of the car is folded in and it looks pretty bad. even on an unlucky day I reckon this guy was lucky enough that no damage was done to the radiator, engine, steering or anything else important, we ended up pulling him of the tree straightened out his alloy bullbar his right guard and amazingly this hilux drives of. And fortunately without any more misadventures.
And that's my story of misadventure

Good stuff fellas,
