queensland Stuck In The Mud

[Do$tylz]

Was telling a few of the crew at the AFO Christmas gathering about this clip from the other day so just d/l'd and sharing here.

Story is a kid got stuck in the mud and needed the chopper to get him out.

Crazy. I see what you meant about the yacht. haha

@shaun1800 came close to that.

Exactly where is that mud?

[ellicat]

I think it's the foreshore of Manly/Wynnum.

The tide is out a long way.

So the google maps is now unfortunately showing Lota at high tide (which can also give an idea of how it can be deceptive if you tried to wade out at a high tide).

But the area in red is where I'm guessing the kid was.

The area in blue is where you want to be to fish at the low tide. A channel forms and you can walk the muddy bank to fish. As the tide drops, there are small feeder creeks that form and empty out the flats into the main creek. I'm guessing the kid walked into the back end of one of those feeder creeks without realising how soft those can be.

i hope they sent him the bill...

As a kid me and my mates roamed the flats from Cleveland down to redland bay. 

It is soft but you get on your gut and crawl like a commando. Its not the best but it's how we did it. 

My old man would have belted me if I had to be rescued like that....

 

 

 

Caught the pro raiding our pots. 

Cheeky mongrel. 

He was raiding them all the time but he had a boat and we were in foot.
