We won't be taking trailers anywhere near the beaches down here, nobody would even contemplate a trailer on that beach. If we run a trip down that beach it will only be for the experienced hardcore drivers looking for a challenge. The ranger told us that we would be digging if we attempted it, he was right!

But don't worry VK, you will almost certainly get a chance to test out the mantrax, we have lots of soft sand to test you out!

Yes Hutch, pressures are crucial 10PSI on that beach is a good start!

Cheers Andrew

Only been down near that pressure once before, about 5 years ago.
The sand was like a powder and I reckon that we would still be there digging, if we hadn't let the tyres down that far.

Cheers

Jeepers - that does look soft! We certainly wouldn't get 30 cars through there.

I know, we'll put that beach on the map for the QLDers day trip... That should keep them busy...

For those that were at the QLD GTG, remember how soft the exit off the Beach at Noosa was, well imagine that, only twice as soft, and 5 kilometers long, and that was if you could stay in the tracks created by the vehicles thorugh previously

Edit: and the sand was wet, and it was cool!

Come to the SA GTG and we will have you below 20PSI 250kms before we even get to the beach

Most of the beaches and dunes were comfortable at 16 - 18 PSI, but not all of em. Plenty for the adventurous and the not quite so adventurous at the SA GTG.

Guys, don't panic about the 10psi, that is just a starting pressure for that beach, there is still room to play from there

That beach will be a special side trip for the mentally challenged and fearless few.

Having "volunteered" to get bogged and ensure AJ's winch as well as my winch works and Wooley's experience got fast tracked I have decided that trip will be avoided by me with my time better spent getting to know those with a degree of common sense to avoid the area.

We went down the beach at Straddie yesterday at mid tide at 22psi and it was all good. The sand here looks finer than the SA sand so maybe that's the difference?

See ya on the tracks, Richo.

Richo, If you can drive on anything with 22PSI in SA its not sand, but rather a grainier form of bitumen.

You know, it seems to me MLC that I recollect you trying many, many, many times. I actually stopped counting the number of times you got bogged!!

I think you will find all cars attending the "little beach digging session" were all diesel cars... maybe I should have come along to supervise in the Petrol

We were all on the same beach Rob!! I was leading, everything was going OK then I hear Oh F*&# over the 2 way. And the pictures show what I found when I went back.

If you can't keep up, ya just not good enough

But thanks for getting bogged the day before and letting me play with my winch

Cheers Andrew

AJ and again Rob took the longest and hardest to get out,When you get bogged he does it best.

You will get the email soon, we are planning a return trip to explore further along that stretch, I would love to see that V6 bellied out in the sand
