Well, it was just the two of us for a quick little half day run.
We met up at the BP servo on the highway at 8am with the thousands of other weekend travellers :shock: ... as one would expect for an Australia Day long weekend![](https://www.pradopoint.com.au/core/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
The drive north up the highway wasn't very busy at all at that time of the morning (I think they were all still back at the servo) and we made it to the Forestry Fire Tower lookout in no time.
We aired down here...

And a pretty pic of the backdrop for todays driving.

It's been a while since I've been to the Glasshouse Mtns and it's changed a lot :shock: Most tracks are either forestry trails or EXTREME :twisted: (and no... we didn't tackle any extreme tracks)
So, we did a loop of Mt Beerwah, had a quick play in the muddy tracks on the northern end and then came across the usual creek crossing at the base of Mt Beerwah.
I tried one line and got myself well and truly stuck... I think Gordon's got pics of me up to my axles in muddy water :mrgreen:
... so Gordon snatched me out backwards and then he took the more sensible line... with no problems at all.

As I only had a morning pass out we called it a day at this point before I did anymore damage to my car...
Turns out the bash plate didn't like being snatched backwards over a clay mound

Thanks for a great morning out Gordon![](https://www.pradopoint.com.au/core/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
Hopefully next time it'll be a bit longer and we can find some more tracks to play on.
