    Had a good day yesterday, and putting faces to names, and finding out its a small world ( I knew SOL and last meet him 13/14 years ago). Your Shorty needs a lift mate, and good meeting you Winniliss.
    P.S Steve - I had no problem with the water crossings but Helga was abit worried at one as I took the deepest line, had to be done LOL.
    Look forward to more Darwin GTG's
    And thanks to the Landcruiser Club for letting us come along for the day.

    Cheers Derek

      Yes Derek I do need a lift. But it mad the track smoother for you whilst I dragged my belly.
      Tires first. Lift is still last thing. Unless I do the spacer thing for now.

              Mate track was great. Not to challenging. The water depth was the hardest thing. I had it up to the windscreen. Defiantly need a snorkel to do it at the moment. But a great drive. I would drive down it. Then turn around and come back up it. The surprise falls/creek are really nice. Worth the drive in.

              I would do it again. It would need others to be going along as I do not think it would take much to get stuck on some of the creek crossing. Especially if it has been carved up by any idiots.

                    It's a shame video quality is lost during the uploading process to youtube. That clip alone was over 200MB after editing...
