When deciding which was the runt aka Rudolph to lead the "pack" of "reindeers", the choice was me since I am the only softroader and the smallest vehicle in the club, I make a perfect Rudolph.
Our float. Gumtree was the Aussie version of the Christmas tree. Branches beside the sleigh represent the Australian bush. We were thinking of putting some dust on the side of the sleigh but didn't end up doing it. The strong winds were a concern but it turned out brilliantly!
After our part of the parade was done, we waited for the mining vehicles to make an appearance. This is the time of the year where these magnificent trucks are let out in the centre of town, demonstrating their prowess. No wonder all the truckies want to drive these trucks.
The mining version of a bulldozer.
This one alone costs $8 million. The dump truck.
My next off road trip will be in February so until then, have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
