Has any one done this crossing recently? If so how deep?
Thanks in advance

Timber,
At the end of October our 4wd club did its
water crossing training there.
Water was up to top of
wheels in
places, though probably possible to pick a shallower track.
Water blind might be required as there has been rain since then.
Val.

Did it Tuesday mate (Cup Day) - just above hub height - we were on bikes and only just got our toes damp ;-)

we've had a fair bit of rain over the last week down here - the deua might be up a bit

The crossing was 30cm deep on Oct 2nd with a steepish climb out. One vehicle in the group took 3 attempts. Then the fun started as the Merricumbene trail is pretty steep in
places. We dawdled a bit with stops but it took 4 hours to go 40km until we reached the 2WD road at Mt
Bendethera trig. Good luck and take it easy. Cheers, warrie
