Overland Australia

Day 1 We woke up early and dragged the kids out of bed and we were in the car and on the road by 5am. After an uneventful drive up the Bruce Highway we arrived at Rainbow Beach just after 7am where we filled up with diesel and headed down to Inskip Point to catch the Manta Ray Barge across to Fraser. I aired down the tyres on the 4by (18psi front, 20 psi rear)and camper (16 psi)and locked it into 4WD. We rounded the corner and were  greeted by chaos bogged vehicles everywhere, there was a patch of 100 to 150 meters of soft sand that was proving to be a problem for some vehicles. Both sides of the track were blocked by a Bongo van and a Subaru. After a quick look and chatting to a few guys I decided to  air down some more (14 psi all round), we waited for the track to  clear. The stuck vehicles already had a number of helpers and they were soon out of the way. At this point it was our turn so into low range 2 nd gear with plenty of momentum and we were through with no issue. O
