Spent 3 Days driving the Holland Track. This track was originally cut by John Holland a Gold prospector in the early 1900’s. We headed off from Hyden after checking out Wave rock and drove for the next 3 days through the Bush. We had mud, water and sand in equal measures along the way.
Two awesome camp sites with decent camp fires and the odd beer. No one got stuck, no one broke any thing. A very enjoyable weekend, Jim i think is still scared from picking up stuff he shouldn’t have. Now all i have to do is clean the car…. it may take some time.

Clever people build small walls around the rock all slowly leading to a reservoir to collect water
climbing the trig point and drinking beer, seemed an amazing idea at 11pm
Nearly flattened this little fella, to his dues, he stood his ground and won the game of chicken!
