Well done Bludge. The water was still well up.
Clearly, no one was taken by a croc at the crossings. Or was that edited out? LOL

Looks like you had a great time with all the smiles in the video. We hope to go in 12 months time in a Pajero towing a heavy camper trailer. Would be good to hear from you in several months time to see how your vehicle mechanicals stood up to all that water. Apart from a snorkel, good AT tyres and a rear diff locker our vehicle will be bog standard
We can protect our engines from water ingress but gearboxes, diffs, Unis, CVs, water splashing of electicals are another thing and often the damage takes time to become apparent to us.
I'm trying to work out how much of the OTT track tackle we do vs PDR.
Hope you can MM me early next year Bludge.
Thanks again for the teaser!

Loved the sound track - as well as the video. Well done.

Sorry guys and just to be clear, the video is from "daw02" and not mine, I had no intention to claim the video as my own. With so much interest in the OTT I though it would interest people, it did.
I was last up there in September 2013 may be up in August, was going to be in Weipa this weekend for the fishing contest but circumstances etc..

May still get to Bramwell Station for the races 4th - 5th and 6th July Bramwell Station Races they open up quite a bit of the station to 4WDers.
I have a few groups of freinds from down south who will be going up and I may tag along with them will see.

The Cape is as hard as you want it to be, on you and your vehicle. Remember you have to get home, that you are there to enjoy yourself, do not sucumb to peer pressure and walk every crossing, especially Nolans, the sandy bottom changes every 3 or so cars when busy and get softer. Take your time and winch if needed.
