Even though I got bogged in the Brook (I had a camper trailer on the back) I would do it again.
What would I change? - I'd stay further to the right (northbound), I'd have a snatch strap already attached ready for a quick hookup and tow at the first
sign of bogging, and I'd keep all the windows closed to retard the water ingress a bit.
We assisted an old shorty Pajero without
snorkel heading south - put on a blind, snatch strap connected - he drove fine till he hit the deep bit so he cut the engine and we hooked up the strap and pulled him through. The only problem was a bit of water had splashed over his distributor cap and leads (remember them?) which was cured with a good spray of CRC.
If you don't want to put a
snorkel on, you can still get through with help (which we found was always available), but I'd still recommend fitting one for the extra security of being able to apply drive to help get out. Nolan's is sandy and easier to get pulled out of than a muddy bog.
