Stones Crossing on the Wenlock

"it can be reasonably deepish"

It sure bloody can Footy, this is the crossing that very nearly left me stranded on the cape. I walked it and chose my path carefully, made a judgement, that a tarp would not be necessary as my path was only shin deep. I was crossing sth bound and on the right hand side of the crossing (closest to where the water drops over the rocks) and the trailer shifted, towards the drop off and I pulled the wheel to the left and dropped the car and trailer into the "deeper" centre part of the crossing, water came way up over my wipers of the pathfinder. I dropped the right boot into the pathy and scrambled for the sthn river bank. As soon as I was out of the water enough, I stopped in the middle of the exit to see how the air intake was. Water had just entered the air box but not too much so I reckon I was bloody lucky to say the least. We were there in late Oct early Nov (10 yrs ago) so it was very much at the end of the dry when all the rivers are at their lowest and still we had water over the bonnet on 4 occassions up there.

Enjoy the trip Fourplayfull.

My fan blade nicked the radiator at that crossing..I also thought that it wouldn't be as deep as it was. Silly boy!
The radiator made it to the Tip and back to Weipa..where I had to have it flown to Cairns and back to get it fixed. The workshop had a zillion L/C radiators, but none for a Padj.
I guess that's when I decided to go back to Landcruisers LOL
