How often do people in Aus use the (C-word) with an adjective in a good way?

example:

“oh, that guy Bill… yeah, Bill’s a good C-word!”

I love it when I hear an Aussie use that word so casually.
Some of us, all the damn time ? It's also used a fair bit in the negative way too. Same as mate, it can be used very condescendingly.
Aussies tend to be a fair bit looser with swearing than your average American.

Ha Ha Rainbow beach rocks by the look of it, there's many a vehicle under the sand there, I've traversed it a few times myself but it's really only passable an hour or two around low tide and then dependent on the weather and beach conditions. Novices try to cut it too fine and the water always wins - always. The local pub has an "honour board" of pictures of those who didn't make it this Raptor will probably join it. Sad end for a Raptor though. If you look up the beach to the right there is one of the best beach front camping areas in the world. Google "Cooloola Coloured Sands" I grew up camping with my parents, and learned to beach drive there.

I didn't notice a ramp or trail in the shot. I suspect that they'd driven down the beach and the rising tide trapped them in that spot.
If it's where I think it is the ramp out is to the left of the frame, you have to go around the rocks to reach it. There is no ramp to the right because you come up the beach from Double Island point the right.
If you look at the shot to the right at the end of the video you will see the two giant sand peaks that look like "double Islands" It's actually part of the one peninsula.
