INNAMINCKA - BIRDSVILLE - Page 3
2 July 2007, Monday
Today the shock absorber was welded back onto the axle and the other one which was cracked was repaired the same way.
Birdsville Auto also fixed the crack in the rear wheel carrier. The South Africans owning the place are really good. After being
fixed we tried out Big Red and had some "Boy's Fun" as all the women waiting at Big Red would call it. Below are some
photos and video/gif animation showing the fun.

Up on the other side of Big Red. One guy was telling
me that he would get upset if I make it the first time - it
took him 11 tries. Well I did. First time up each side.
