6 April 2009 Coffin Bay


The reason we are in Coffin Bay is because Sal and Col's car is broke!!!! It was because of a silly Nissan Driver stopping in the middle of a 4WD track to deflate his tyes, not giving anyone any warning (even though there were 3 others in the car) and Col needing to reverse into a sandy bank and getting bogged. As a result something went bang!!!


But Coffin Bay is a nice place ot be stuck - although it is very cold today!!!!
