Jeff.Reminds me of my safari in Africa. Somebody forgot the corkscrew and for several days we had to live on nothing but food and water.

Well looking at this response it appears the Souths have won the vote outright.
The plan will be to Meet at McDonald's Mandurah at 8.30 am.Once all the numbers arrive we will head on thru WhiteHills to the beach, out at Preston, bitumen to Harvey, Harvey - Quindanning road to water crossing.
Most tracks I have seen are possible with standard tyres and no lift if you don't mind a bit of scrapping underneath in some points.Please correct me if i'm wrong those of you who know there way around here better. UHF radio is a must and some extra ones may be available to borrow for the day throughout the group normally.
I would recommend some basic recovery gear,Good quality Snatch Strap and bridal ,Compressor to inflate your tires,Tire gauge .I will need to rely on our southern track master to guide us through the Harvey to Quindanning road areas as I'm not to familiar with the southern tracks.
Please remember for those who haven't been out with us before.
We are not a club and just a group of like minded people who are interested in using our 4wds for exploring without damaging them.There is no pressure to do any thing you don't feel comfortable with.If you get stuck we will take photos. We all have to be patient in a large group.

Hey Golly,
With all the recent rain we will need to analyse the water crossing when we get there. It has been unpassable several times so we will need to see when we get there.As you can see from the photo,Some one with short pants had to depth test it before crossing (It wasn't me,But this bloke was very fit)
Generally the Prado can take at least 500mm without any problem. I’m sure some there was a spec for how deep you can go.
Cheers Russ
