Denise and Ray - Hi
And many thanks for a wonderful day in the bush
with Steve and Pete. They were superb instructors and great teachers. It was
an awesome day. The other students were great company, too, and it was
instructive to see their vehicles perform.
I'd done lots of research and reading about the capabilities of my diesel GQ ...
and now I've seen it and felt it in the 'flesh'. I can't wait for more.
But I've some further prep to do: install proper recovery points, get a
compressor and see if I can manage a 'bondage' kit - straps, wraps and shackles
- before I join you again for the sand driving course!!
Thanks again for everything

Hi
I want to say thanks to Steve and Pete and let you know how great they’ve been.
As a female who had little idea of what lies underneath her car bonnet and who
had never driven off-road before, Eureka’s 4WD course has been brilliant.
Pete and Steve were outstanding, giving highly professional, knowledgeable
teaching…always even-tempered even when they got a face full of sand or stones
from my back wheels…constantly patient and most of all, they inspire trust which
gets a Pommie not long off the boat over the rocky bits into an adequate four
wheel driver!
The other, more experienced drivers in the convoy were helpful and encouraging.
It's been a great day out.
Thanks.

Hi Ray,
We just completed a 2 day 4wd training on the weekend and just wanted to say we
had a great time and loved every minute of it. Steve and Pete were great
trainers and funny buggers too. We certainly feel we went away with some good
knowledge and the confidence to take to the bush ourselves.
Thanks again guys.
Kind Regards
Melissa and Gavin de Largie
As you know this is our 4th Campfire Escapes trip we have been
on. The previous 3 were fantastic trips. When we booked on this trip we knew it
would be a fun-filled weekend, what we hadn't counted on were the sites and camp
locations that we encountered.
We knew they would be top quality as they always are, but not to the extent we
found. I have some idea the level of input it takes to find these spots, and can
only thank you for finding, and making them available.
To add to this, the ability to see and experience things such as Ninghan Station
and to have a guided tour and verbal interaction with the Station owner was
awesome, our children learned things that Schools can't teach!
Then, just when it seemed the weekend was nearing a close, along came Mt
Singleton!
What a drive, what a view. What a weekend. It amazes me that you have the time
to search out and put together such trips, and quite frankly we're glad you do.
Yet again we have made some friendships that we feel will prosper over time.
20 out of 10 guys! Well done..
Look out trip # 5

"We enjoyed the 2 days immensely.
Eureka’s staff attitude and communication skills were excellent and we had a great time!! Injection of humour into difficult 4x4 driving situations helped us to relax and learn. Excellent handouts"

"Dear Ray, Thank you soooo much for a fabulous
weekend away. We learned so much and we were pretty nervous about how our Personnel Carrier would hold up, but we were thrilled that it, and us made it. We’ll definitely
see you again during the year."

Hi Denise, Ray and Nick,
Natasha, the Kids and I would all like to thank you for another great weekend.
This is our second Campfire Escape and I dare say it won't be the last.
I know there's a fair amount of time goes into putting these weekends together
and we feel you all deserve a pat on the back.
The 4wd component, campsites and general run of the weekends are perfect.
Well done!
The Sheridan crew
PS Thanks again for all your help, from the laptop cable, UHF aerial and then the
transfer lever you provided a large amount of help...Cheers

G'day geeza,
After taking your
course Ray, myself and Elaine,travelled.14860kms.
From Perth to Derby, across the Gibb River Rd, up to Darwin, into Kakadu, down to the Alice, into Coober Pedy, over to Adelaide, into Melbourne, and back
via the Great Ocean Rd, up to the Nullabor, into Kambalda and Kalgoorlie, and back to Perth. If it wasn't for your course, we would have taken even longer.
You gave me the confidence to have fun, and face my own fears, and realise what
my 4WD could do. If it wasn't for your personalised course, and the one on one day
we had together, I would never have risked a trip like that.
Many, many thanks
from the both of us for helping us do the trip of a life time over
some of the roughest terrain, Australia has to throw at a 4WD, i.e. Finke River,
Pentacost River, King River Rd, Gascoine Junction, the Kimberleys,
the Flinders Ranges to name but a few. We owe it all to you.
With affection, and
thanks a million.
Doug and Elaine Hegg
Oh, by the way, I
ran a croc over in the Pentacost River crossing to the
El Questro Station and into diggers rest. but I managed the crossing without
a snorkel up to my windows just how you showed me. Yeeeeha and if we could,
we would do it all again tomorrow. thanks Ray.....

Hi Ray,
Just a quick note to let you know we
had a great time on the 2 day course.
I now have a lot more respect for my car, and am excited about taking some
off the-beaten-track trips with confidence!
We especially enjoyed the sand driving, as its the closest to what we see
ourselves doing in the future. A trip to ARB has been pencilled in for Edgar
and myself to equip ourselves with a couple of snatch straps and rated recovery points.
I'm also going to get myself one of their compressors - the one you let me use was
excellent (thanks for that by the way).
Thanks Ray!
Cheers,
Martin & Erin

Many thanks for the tremendous
experience and training provided over the
weekend. The brain is still trying to work through some of the stuff but I reckon
I'll get there. Your presentation of the issues and obstacles was fantastic.
I would also like you to pass on my thanks to John, he did a magic job of
getting me back down the sand dune (left hand down, keep coming.....)
There was a great bunch of people with vastly different levels of experience,
vehicle type, reason for being on the course and knowledge and everyone I
spoke too was gaining a lot of stuff. Next time, I'm going to wear shorts
and certainly not hold your walking stick, but I thank you for making me walk
the route so I have a good feeling for what I'm looking for when I have to do it
on my own (you better keep that mobile handy).
Many thanks once again and keep me informed of other courses and trips.
Regards

Hi Ray,
We really enjoy and love this trip. People are nice, we can share
the experience of their last trip, equipments and everything, especially,
Kelly and Crawford took care of us with the radio on the road.
I already emailed some pictures to my friends in Hong Kong, everybody said
they would like come and join me next time. I told them they should learn
the skill of 4WD from you first.
Hope to see you on the next trip.
Best Regards,
Michael & Agnes

Hi Nick and Ray... or Ray and Nick, if you like.
A few words in comment and of
appreciation. First - thank you.
Thank you for a great experience, for looking after us so well, for all the
information you handed over, and for staying bright and breezy all the time.
Thank you for your constant concern, help and advice. It was a super trip,
well planned and executed. Congratulations.
You wanted to know what our highlights were. Now that I've had
time to think
a bit, here are a couple. I loved the camaraderie and group concern that developed as time
went on. This was our first time out in a group - and I was enchanted
with the almost family feeling that grew.
Log fires at night to soften nippy air. Full moon and huge skies,
both night time
and daytime. Vast Australia with almost no one in it, and more so from the edge
of the mountain. Those2-I/2 days have provided a fullness that a whole week in town can't give.
Thank you again. Looking forward to the next one in November.
Regards. Pat (and Barry too, in the Little Green Bug)
We have many more but I think you get the
idea.
