Location and conditions looked fantastic, a bit of light rain to keep the dust down.

Any more than a light sprinkle would have made those clay tracks a bit slippery, but not too bad as there was a lot of gravel in the surface

Nachaluva your forester is looking very tough.

Thanks mate, the chunky muddies really help lol

was it just the slipperiness that stopped the Pajero and not the subies?

He only had HT tyres on, so that was very limiting

The problem here was that Nachaluva couldn't make it up

with the big muddies on what was the problem here?

If that was Flats track, the prob was the extreme nature of the track. Very steep with a loose gravelly surface & diagonal ruts. I could have kept going with some "spirited" driving but the path I took essentially ended

Yeah, I think there may have been local extinctions of some species in this are. We saw some wombat roadkill & lyrebirds & bats, but nothing else. There may even have been Leadbeaters possums, but doubt there'd be any there now
