Heading east towards the beach 😃 love being out on the road. one minute it's wide open roads and paddocks, then the winding roads through thick bush (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180403/9a86bd6d249fa646db2d18c106b799bd.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180403/a18ab2d0cb4c5fef8f5ba4f3dab782ab.jpg) then sometimes its ...
