Yer not wrong there,,,,,,,, years ago when I was a keen surf fisher with a pretty mean fourbie,,,, I was headed along a very steep and loose beach, where if you made a simple error in judgement or hesitated at the wrong time you'd find yourself really stuck.
In those instances you immediately start watching the tide a helluva lot closer.
Anyway,,,,,,, half way along this beach I was confronted with a gob smacking sight.
There ,,,, parked half way up a sandhill was a calf sh!t colored HQ ute, and a couple of blokes headed down to the beach with surf rods.
My mate who had already driven past and was fishing when I pulled up at our favorite spot further on was also bewildered.
For the life of us we couldn't figure out how they got there,,,,,,,, and to this day it's still a mystery.
We were gonna stop and ask them on the way out,,,,,,, but they had apparently packed up early and already gone when we headed back.
We were pretty sure that the ute was
NOT one of those limited edition 4X4's that Holden put out.
I do not fear death itself... Only its inopportune timing!
I've come to realize that,,,,, the two most loving, loyal, and trustworthy females in my entire life were both canines.
