Happy new year, 2012. Mate I gotta keep up with ewes. I was at Narooma and visited the Tilba Cheese factory. Drove the F250 down to Tuross Head, then Narooma, then Bermagui through to Tathra. Found some nice river crossings on the Bega and Brogo rivers, didn't even wet the running boards. Then up Brown Mountain back to Canberra. EGT barely reached 500c hammering up the mountain 5 up and lightly loaded. The truck is runnning great and I hope to have many more good trips in 2012.

That was the first time in a long time I put it in 4WD. Going up a steep hill over contour bars I used low range. Throttle is bloody touchy though, kangaroo hopping an auto - the kids were telling me that I should re-sit my drivers licence again, cheeky beggars!
