First off, try deflating your tyres to about 15PSI & see if you can just drive out. Otherwise, got rope, a sleeper (or other long & heavy piece of wood) & a decent tree nearby?

I would say its cold there and you have wet dew / moisture on the grass also not helping, let the sun come out

Use the torque to get you out, not revs. get a bit of a rock happening. get people to push with the rocking. oh and keep wheels straight.

jack each back wheel up and lay a few peices of timber/ steel, or wat evers handy underneath the wheel 90 degrees to it. then pop down to your local bunnings and buy a sufficient amount of fake turf and keep on the down low for a while haha.

I am at work in Macquarie Park this entire weekend ... so not that far away.
Be interesting to see how you are stuck ... either the yard is very uneven ... or you have a very low vehicle.

while you were stuck on there you might as well have lit the rears up and finished the task of ruining the lawn! good fun
