Hey all

I am a bit of a fair weather fairy 4wheel driver and have not had much (read any) experience in river crossings. We, about 6 vehicles of all makes and models, are about to attempt the Wonangatta valley and believe there may be some crossings of note.
Basically aside from getting out of the vehicle and wading to pick your route, what would be best procedures to follow, i.e first gear and just go go go, put a small tarp acroos the bullbar to create a bow wave effect, H4 vs L4 etc.
Any hints and tips will be appreciated. I drive a 60 series with a mild lift but the shallowest vehicle will be a pathfinder with a nervous driver.

Cheers
