42 mile crossing Coorong SA

Best to go with at least 3 vehicles, or a winch. Recovery tracks are very useful, but don't always work down this way..

Ring the local fishing joints along the coast and get some local Intel on the beach conditions. It literally changes overnight and catches people out..

Thanks for the advice Pearcey, will definitely drop the tyre pressures.

Good advice Kallen, do those ground anchors work in the sand? We'll have at least 2 vehicles and will be looking into getting a winch, it's on the wish list!

Good advice, never do beach driving alone.
I have done a lot of beech driving and it always changes, especially the coorong.
Was down Salt Creek last year and had to drop the tyres down to 10psi to keep going.
Have also been down Robe on the beach with a mate and come accross several 4wd's stuck, asked if they had let their tyres down and they said they had, asked what pressure and they did not know as they did not have a guage.
When I checked their tyres they were running 35-38psi, let them down to below 20 and away they went.

If you are inexperienced with beach driving try to go first with someone who has experience.

I might head down to Aldinga first, that beach is more like a highway. I thought the Goolwa side of the Coorong would be well travelled and fairly tame.

Goolwa is a good practice ground as there is always lots of vehicles there, I will be there tomorrow.
