News:
   Was it 25 vehicle recoveries in two days? I lost count, but the Alps Highlights trip was action-packed thanks to some wet weather over the New Year weekend. However great team work and Defender 1 diff locks/rock crawler gearing/chains got us through! Perfect weather for our 5 days of Snowy River Trails made for a relaxing contrast, including superb views, campsites and fun swimming/liloing/games in the river.
    Apologies for the long wait since our last email news/website update. We seem to be getting many bookings without advertising (I guess that's good), plus we've been restructuring/expanding the mini-bus business and building more accommodation at Mountain Rivers Lodge. So Andrea and I are looking forward to our 3 days' 'annual leave' soon!
   Catch up with us at the Victorian 4WD Show, 'Gippsland's High Country' stand, Sun 21/2/10 at Wandin Park.
