Hebel Downpour

We called into Hebel on the Queensland/NSW Border for an overight stay on the river, nice day - no problems. During the night the skies opened up - it was incredible. Needless to say we had no way of getting out yesterday as we were down a fairly steep bank of typical river clay soil. Spent all of yesterday "holed" up in the van, we couldn't even get out as you would sink down into 6 inches of slimy clay. NOT IMPRESSED . So we sat in the van all day, reading, playing scrabble, what a long day.To make matters worse we awoke to thunder rumbling this morning and very overcast skies and I thought that we would end up being stuck here for over a week. Had no idea when or how we would ever get out, had no white wine left and not much red, nothing to drown my frustrations with. We ended getting towed out this morning, fairly hair raising stuff, at one stage I thought the van was going to flip over and take the ute with it. Everyone up the top applauded and cheered us when we finally got out. Will head off in the morning, another day closer to home.
