Aaah Yes In the Outback 4x4's are a way of life and even down here in the deep south on the edge of the Outback 4bies abound. Even the cops have a fully dolled up 100series. Mainly working vehicles with some wagons thrown in for good measure.

I always laugh or make comment when the 4x4 or BULLBAR issue comes up on this forum as the city folk get very agitated about things, thinking that perhaps their way of life is threatened.

Must have been a good day to go fishing on the 5 Rivers at Wyndham yesterday.

Went around to Wyndham from Darwin (where we lived for many years) for the 1980 new year in the Wet. Left the Suzuki 4x4 at home as there were four of us and took the new XD Falcon instead. Drove through water up to the top of the wheel arches across the East Baines River. Drove up 5 Rivers Lookout at Wyndham. Was still a dirt track then. It was very washed out but we made it to the top by straddling some of the washouts and rolling over a couple of rocks, much to SWMBO's horror. On the way down there was an interstate tourist in a Landcruiser who had dropped into the washout and got bogged. He was very agitated and said "If I had known that there was another road up there I would have taken it"..hahahaha said we "This is it mate". I gave him a gentle pull backwards down the hill with the car to get the wagon unstuck.

Some big crocs used to live down by the wharf at Wyndham. My last visit to that region was in 1986. I wonder what has changed since then?

toyota's still were'nt outnumbered even adding in all the others
