25.01.2022 Bae surprised me last year by getting a 4wd from @fleetcrew for the new year. We went to Moreton Island only 1h away from Brisbane (including ferry). Since we h...ad such a great time we decided why not doing it again this year. The island is 4wd only, perfect to play around with this beast | : YULE Montanna See more
