This is at Fraser Island.

[Double_Tap]

Looks like someone stalled crossing Eli Creek on dusk and this is what the incoming tide did to it overnight.

[crusin in hiluxury]

thats not good looks like a nice surf aswell

[taziiy]

someone not watching high tide

[Nux]

that's a nice pic there

[CatMan]

Dunno, but it looks like Eli got another one! Technically, it's only the left wheels that are bogged!

[HLX40L]

So you recon if he had diff locks he'd be able to get out ;)

This is at Fraser Island.
That is usually caused by people driving to close to running creeks on sand. If you see a creek like that on sand you will find that the water is actually running under the sand as well about 3 to 5 metres either side of the creek.

So if you drive that close to the creek the weight of the 4wd actually puts presure on the area of sand where the 4wd is and the water underneath takes the sand away causing the 4wd to sink very very quickly.

Another thing that causes this is the tide coming up. The tide is coming under the sand as well as above which causes exaclly the same problem as above.

An example of this is if you sand at the waters edge while a little wave comes in when it goes out you will feel your feet sink a couple of inches. The above picture is the same thing just on a much bigger scale. ;)

Here a pic of a simillar thing that happens all the time on Bemont/ Blacksmiths beach near Newcastle. I managed to pull him out before it sunk like the one above but another 2 hours and it would have been the same. :P

Hope this all makes sense. :D

I guess someone wanted to see if they could go fishing in a car. Probably did not know the car is not fibergalass ;D

its a 94 surf, of course its made of fibreglass....what did you think they were made of ??? ???

[4runner4mud]

thats what you get when you buy foreign! a forerunner mite not have done much better but im still not a surf fan!

[rumpig]

thats a pretty old photo that one, have seen it posted before on the forum. eli creek hasn't run north up the beach for about 3 years now either so the photo is atleast 3 years old.

[Martin]

Tip to avoid this happening to you:

Drive diagonally down stream to cross these fresh water creek crossings. The reason for this is that if you get bogged, the sand accumulates behind your back wheels, rather than over your hubs. This means you will sink more slowly, and it will be easier for someone to pull you out quickly. Also, the water flowing in the same direction you are trying to snatch out will also help, rather than hinder your efforts as it does if it is flowing against the side of the car.

Also, make sure you have your recovery equipment handy, and you know exactly where it is (not at the back under boxes and bags) As Mick69 Pointed out, these things sink real quick in these situations, and wet sand creates a vacuum under the vehicle, so every minute that passes, it is more difficult to pull out.

[Bricki]

Soon there probly will be fish in the car and then they would be able to go fishing in the car:D :D

[Disco_Alex]

Do we no if its still there or some 1 did a lot of digging and got it out?

[4wd26]

You could use this excavator to get him out...

What about this D11 dozer (hint .. that's half the blade sticking out of the water)

[stu050]

Or this one

[iMusty]

I have two questions.

1. What fluids ... oil, coolant, dirty water & the like would be left in the drink after the vehicle is removed?

2. And should he be fined a few grand to assist with the cleanup?

[Reddo]

Tough units those D11's. Why not just drive it off the quarry face?

A neigbour drives one in Tassie and some jokers stole it one day, drove it over a small quarry face and not satisfied with this, they turned it into the quarry face at full noise and there it stayed for over a day, grinding away. Did over 30K's worth of damage to the motor, tracks and final drives though.

Ok how the hell do they get all these things out ?? Or dont they?? :confused::confused:

[Chester]

Do we no if its still there or some 1 did a lot of digging and got it out?

It wasnt there last year either buried or recovered. There is a recovery guy up there but i dont know???

[josh0]

you would think that they would leeve them there. unless u have a very big and strong winch

[Disco_Alex]

you would think that they would leeve them there. unless u have a very big and strong winch

narr snach them out :D:D

[dogbreath_48]

Tirfor

[outback cruisa]

for about 1millon bucks i think they would want to at least try and get it out, maybe pump the water
the bloody tyres on those things go for about 300,000 EACH!!

[MYTANK]

Some insane pictures fellas..

Seriously though.. what was the cause of the big Tonka Truck going into that puddle ? :P

And did they ever pull it out.. that's a hell of alot of machinery to leave down there..

[Disco_Alex]

i like to no too :) Any one got any pics of a recovery like this or similar ??

[outback cruisa]

ive seen a crane go in the drink at a wharf becuase it tried to lift a heavy weight with the bom beyond the safe working radius, then the recovery crane fall to the same fate, hahahah trying to recover the first crane, eventually they had to bring in a big 200t crane to recover both the cranes that decided it was to hot to work and go for a swim hahahahahaha

[wa_pathie]

That truck might have been the one at Mt Keith - the operator backed back too far and slipped down into the bottom of the pit. Obviously he died, and they built a new road to the bottom of the pit to recover the operator and the truck

[CatMan]

Here's another machine mishap.... D10 this time. They always say to be careful when driving in snow.

that thing floating is the drivers "iced coffee" carton

[ben85n]

I was on Fraser when the Surf in the original pic found its watery grave.

In short we went up the beach that arvo at low tide no worries. Coming back down the beach the next day that pic best describes what we found. He had tried driving up the beach at night, around high tide, n was unsuccessful.

It was just north of Eli creek too.

The truck with the large rock in the back, was in central QLD.

yeah having a good look at the pict again, if you compare the size of the truck with the rocks, it just dosent look right

[Mikes F250]

this vehicle was from earlier this year as well on the eastern beach at Fraser. The island breaks a few hundred vehicles a year, i just stopped taking pics of them all

[Reddo]

I know a nurse that worked for BHP in WA and her job was to drug test the workers and especially the haul truck drivers cause they have had several trucks go over the edge in the past 10 years. At over a million dollars each they don't take too kindly to this happening! Last one (some years ago now) was drugged-out female and she died......

Last one (some years ago now) was drugged-out female and she died......From what i've been told most of the drivers of those big trucks are females. There was even a documentry on Discovery channel about it.

They said women look after the trucks better the guys do that why they employ them as drivers over males. After seeing that i'm begining to wonder.:D

fraser isnt as easy what every one thinks, it has some of the more dangerous crossings in qld, eli creek is just one of them. also with that first picture hes and idiot for going over eli with no backup, there has to be atleast 20-30 cars that have been lost and completely covered up by eli creek, once u get stuck youve got about 5 minutes to get out or youve just lost your car.

i have nearly seen a 4x4 disapear in eli creek i think it was. well it was on fraser. the tide was comming in and it was raining and this bronco with a bit of a lift and muddies was flyin down the beach and just hit the crossing and he just sunk but he tried to keep goin and eventually came to a stop then his freind i suppose came flying behing him in a patrol and got him out asap. but at how fast it sunk with the tide comming and raining yousd be liucky to make it across walkin withouh sinkin and falling over

Nope it is real they are not low profile or large hub caps, the photo is taken from a couple of levels up and the truck is in about 25mtrs of water.
It is a cat 793, carries around 270 tonnes of ore, the bloke who drove it died and was found 5 days later. The blue thing is a 20 ltr bottle to mark where the truck was, as when it went over it was loaded and it took around 3 weeks for the water to clear up.Police divers could not even see the truck let alone find him.
As someone else said the size of the rocks compared to the truck don't look right, well they are bloody big rocks, most are about the length of a cruiser.
Yes the above facts are correct as i was working there at the time and was part of the investigation as to what happened. It was all caught on video from the dispatch centers camera.

go to fraser and stay there for a 2 week period and you would be surprised at how much the beach changes in that time. it can go from a highway one day and then overnight doing no more than 40 klms / hr.

Hi Jarrod, Yes I took the pic. What mag and issue was it in? I tried to get permission to get it out but the poilce said an abandoned vehicle had to be left 24 hrs before it could legally be taken. After 24 hrs it had been stripped and was breaking up. Dave

Cops told me I could be liable for all damage if I pulled it out. Their only suggestion was to get the rego papers signed over first. After a dozen or more calls I couldn't find the owner. Called the cops back and they said if I did find him and get it signed over, that I could be liable for the enviroment damage caused by the car as they had been in contact with the EPA.

bloody red tape what a waste of a good ute

[Corindi]

Yep, it was hard to watch it break up and slowly get stripped. I think it was about 5 days till the council got down there with a backhoe. By this time waves had smashed the glass and it was totally stripped. What gets on my nerves is the fact that with the threat of fines, the EPA virtually stopped me from getting it out and it was spilling oil and fuel into the sea. It Pi%%es me off to think about it, probably sitting in some council holding yard rusting away. I had a team of blokes ready to strip it and wash everything down had I been able to get permission to recover it without all the threats.

Apparantly there still there to this day and was going to millions to retrieve harbour was deep enough so they left them their.
not sur what type they were but some from piacintinis earthmoving in wa will defiantly know.

If i'd just had that happen to my car and some tree hugging faggot came up and said that to me i'd knock his block off. I really hope you are joking!

[dirtygq]

well it is a valid point of cleaning up the oil etc whether intentional or not, that is part of the reason we pay a fee to use the island etc. they should have a vehicle capable of fast retrievable for getting cars out before to much damage to the car and the environment.

Yeah definately, but putting the onus on the poor bugger who's just lost his pride and joy is a joke. I think i'd have other things on my mind.

Probably backing down a very slippery ramp and hit the brakes. ABS then just does it's thing and hey presto "Artificial Reef ala Landrover" almost done it myself in a 2001 Disco.

Is that little blue thing a boat?
That sure gives the photo some perspective if it is.

Looks like a milk carton and its a toy truck to me!

This is at Fraser Island.

someone cut a surf in half and sat it on the beach!



saw a rangie on it's side washing in and out with the waves at the mouth of eli many years ago apparently he was driving up and down the creek trying to wash his car.

another funny or scary thing I have seen was a big line of cars going through a smaller creek, all taking the same line very shallow when about the tenth car just nose dived into the creek and sank. all the cars had turned the sand into quicksand and he was just the unlucky one.

HAHA, he put the windscreen wipers on in the middle :D :D

[rosedog]

From what i've been told most of the drivers of those big trucks are females. There was even a documentry on Discovery channel about it.

They said women look after the trucks better the guys do that why they employ them as drivers over males. After seeing that i'm begining to wonder.:D

Cheers Mick.
women can manage time better than blokes, they can do the same trip 20 times in a night and all at a similar time, blokes just put the foot down and go like the clappers...

[tuf40s]

how the heck did that cruiser pull outa that....where was it sucking its air from....it just doesn't look real....unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!! lol deisel can go under water all they need is air have a close look a the snorkel on the pasenger side and it real ive had myn half way up the windscreen.

Yeah I know....if you look at my next post I viewed it a second time and saw the snorkel...just didn't see it the fist time...I reckon that's my favourite clip though...love it!!

if u have a high res pic then u can zoom into it but pics on the the web are lossy compresion low res pics so they are small enough for download;)

[TonyH]

http://psychogoat.com/gallery/albums/miningpics/793_pic_2.sized.jpg

"Note to self; Bigger snorkle."
Some insane pictures fellas..

Seriously though.. what was the cause of the big Tonka Truck going into that puddle ? :P

And did they ever pull it out.. that's a hell of alot of machinery to leave down there..
My old man is an earth moving operator, and I done my apprenticeship in a central Qld coal mine. Seen similar things a few times. I can tell you some people are lucky, but the bloke in this pic wasn't so lucky.

It would have been recovered and examined. A big and expensive job! Especially as that part of the pit would have been closed off during that time meaning millions of lost dollars in terms of productivity.

I can't prove it to you but I know it happened on Fraser because the Surf belonged to some friends of ours. It was their first time on the beach and Aussie girl and her Pommie husband who had never been 4wding before. I do actually have the original photo lying around at home somewhere.

[disco_thrasher]

Is there a story behind that one?
No unfortunately no back ground on this it is a left hand drive so its not in oz??????

[fourbyboy]

yeh, that muddy left hand drive car is pretty funny. n as for that mining truck, dang, that would really suck!!!!did the guy get out?

hey shouldnt the boat be in the water and the car on the land??? i would sell that car straight away after that it willl be ruined

[Big_Waity]

That is great. I remember a few years back(probably 10 or more) I was on Fraser as a youngster and we saw a couple of small lumps on the ground. Went for a closer inspection and found they were spark plugs. Then found what appeared to be the remnants of a head and block. I guess someone walked home that time...
