Wow what day we had 27-6-2021
We decided to go to Toolangi State Forest with camera, had a nice time driving on 4 x4 track with our 4 x 4. Well this where our adventure started, we drove down a road called Monda Road, which us and many others thought would take them to the other side of mountain and back onto highway but no it was cut off. No signs to tell us this so us and others that drove that way had to turn back.
We started to travel back on same road only to hear strange noise coming from right side of car. We pulled over in the best spot we could find, remember this road was a dirt track for four wheel driving. When beloved got out of car we had a blow out of they and could not drive car. This was 4pm in the afternoon. Being an Isuzu d mux, it is a very heavy car and bolts holding they on where impossible to move, we rung the Isuzu road side care people but not we don't come off track like that and neither does RACV 
so beloved had to pursuvea with the help of guy on phone to get tyre off. At this stage it was starting to get dark and I mean dark, our phones where the only sign of light we had, no moon or stars. Our phones when flat and we had to get them charged it was cold and we hadn't eaten since lunch and a few crackers some dip, a drink flask and some cordial was all we had. Lucky we both had coats. I has scarf and beanie so I wasn't as cold. Eventually after getting tyre off, plus waiting for phones to charge at least enough so we could use light to get new tyre on, we realised the tyre wouldn't go on as the ground was too high. So we had to dig the dirt out from where we had to put tyre which took 3 hours as mobiles went flat several times and needed recharging.

It was very foggy and the air chill felt lit it was about 4 degrees. The ground was muddy and slippery and beloved managed to slip over in the mud, by this stage he was covered in mud after 3 hours in the pitch dark we hot new wheel on.
I keep looking around as all I could see around us was the tallest him trees I'd ever seen. I was very thankful no wild life came out as I would have been so scared.
Once new tyre was on and with little vision we had through fog we started to head home to what we thought was track. Anyone that knows bad fog, we could just see in front of car, having headlights on full made it even harder to see, so we preceded to drive and guess what, we got bogged.
So we had to run to around to find a company that could help us at this late out. After sitting in car for two hours and midnight clicked over the guys turned up and got us out, only to find out the track we were mean to be on was further to the left. Eventually after all this no dinner we stopped at the only Maccas we could find open and arrived home after 3am, muddy tired and longing for bed.
