Our adventure into Gembrook Forest (Victoria) was halted early with a deep bog hole which had claimed a Land Cruiser Tray Back. The owner had tried the night before to get it out but had given up, presumably to come back today to recover it. It was in our way, and we couldn't drive around it so we decided to move it.

Land Rover Series III with front and rear lockers, and a Warn winch, being tied to a tree so that it can winch the bogged Land Cruiser out without being dragged forward.

Luckily the Land Cruiser had a bull bar with appropriate recovery hooks.

After the Land Cruiser was extracted, a Series II decided to give it a go.

Very entertaining to see mud flying everywhere. That is one hell of a deep bog.

Having backed up and going in with a big run, the Series II makes it out!

Can't see, so time to give the wipers a helping hand

Here I am with my Disco II after some easy stuff. Wheels getting dirty. Perhaps it's time for a wax job?

A Defender 110 with custom rego plate "LANDIE" (Sorry Umit, we've got one here in Australia already!)

This steep hill just didn't seem all that steep in the pictures. Front bumper was just grading the top of the ruts!

All spruced up and ready to head home. The Disco II made it to the office car park and had some stares for a day. I decided to clean it up properly later that week.
