Snakes Alive & 4 Wheel Drive

My hubby found a yellow-faced whip snake like this one trapped between our two sheds on Sunday, he got rid of it especially for me on Mothers Day.  Thank you my dear man.

Saturday 5th May saw me behind the wheel of our 4 wheel drive truck.

  Apparently I have to learn how to drive it in case anything happens to my man when we are out on a bush track somewhere.  Not my cup of tea at all, but you know what?  I did rather well at it and even managed it better than him at times.  He is a good driver though and I am confident I won’t have to put my newly acquired  skills to test anytime real soon.

The first obstacle – stuck in mud. Hubby had the job of getting out of this one.

The spectacular view from the top of the very, very steep hill which we had to climb in our 4WD.  Yes, I did it with no probs.
We are leaving on a trek to Cape York in a couple of weeks time.  Very exciting!  So next couple of weeks we will be busy packing and sorting and getting our new camper ready to roll.  At the same time I hope to still keep up with my TAST embroidery challenge.  Now, that will be quite a challenge!!
