Dirty Down Under 4x4 Pink Run to Rainbow Beach
So the next challenge for the two little boys with their two little toys is SAND.....
And what better cause than raising money for Breast Cancer research.
So more planning, tide charts, very early morning, no bloody coffee (do I sound bitter?) but we make it to the Tewantin ferry soon after 7.00am (well before the other 300 predicted Pink Run cars). Smell the salt, sea and adrenal gland excretions (adrenalin for those who think I am being rude).
Beach/sand driving means that air must be released from the tires....
But while the two little boys were doing this to their two little toys, it became evident that their cars were severely under dressed...
Our new friends supplied a spare pink liquid chalk marker so the two little boys felt included...
Unfortunately, there is no photographic evidence of what the taller 15yo wrote on his window but I can tell you it started with T and ended in S and was only 4 letters long!
Selfies are very popular with many members of Parliament, so the spouses of the two little boys, who have two little toys, decided to give this phenomenon a try with the help of the 15yo's...
Then onto the ferry. The ferry ride was fun....look at that smile!
Before we knew it, we had hit sand!
Does this boy in his toy look happy or what?
Another happy boy in his toy...
Many interesting things are often seen at the beach....
The rare Thong Tree was a lucky find…
But in the end, the excitement was too much and a stop for morning tea was requested by the Spouses.
The stop meant the 15yo's could stretch their legs and get into some mischief. Whats the point of carrying recovery gear if you don't need them? Unfortunately, their plots were foiled and the two boys with their two toys managed to drive away unscathed!
The stop did give all the kids a chance to stretch their legs….
and test their strength……
and brag a little about their height.
The two little boys with two little toys are blessed to have some wonderful women in their lives..
who are growing up way too fast!
More sand, more dead mutton birds and more laughs got the two little boys with their two little toys to beautiful Inskip Point. This popular end of the beach had many campers and fishermen minding their own business until one of the two little boys got his little toy stuck in the soft sad. Shear will got the little boy out of the sand while the other little boy hightailed out of there! Thanks for the support, mate!
Unfortunately, the two little boys were having too much fun and the tide changed. This meant they couldn't drive around the headland on the beach and had to go inland. A stuck Touraeg, a jeep and a land rover provided some entertainment for half an hour and one of the little boys got to test his Maxx Traxx.
Tires were again inflated during a wee stop before they landed in Rainbow Beach.
$10 got the toys washed to remove the sand….
Flat whites, chips and aioli finished off a fantastic day.
It felt so good to laugh and watch the rest of the group enjoy the day. Cant wait to do it all again!
