OOPS…….AGAIN

Ravenshoe is the highest town in Queensland, which meant a lot of slow climbing up the narrow, windy roads for Bessie, she handled it all well. We were on our way to visit a friend who has built a lovely house high up on a hill just outside Ravenshoe where she lives with her partner and their five dogs on the road to Tully Falls and Lake Koombooloomba. Pam’s gravel covered dirt driveway is steep, very steep, but I thought we could make it up instead of us staying down the bottom of the hill. Dropped off the trailer and started to make our way up, on the first attempt I made it halfway but was too close to the timber gate on LHS, so had to ease her all the way back down, front wheels slipping a bit and Helen looking quite worried. On the second attempt I made it up and through the narrow gateway but unfortunately did some damage to the LHS, quite a nasty scrape down the side, I will have to make another piece of artwork to cover it up. Was a bit hairy going down the driveway again the next morning, but we made it out OK and on the road again. Another lesson learnt…..the hard way…..
