The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Thanks guys. I was thinking about taking a day from 28 mile crossing to get up there (to the mouth) and a day back. With an extra day or two for the sections before 28 mile crossing.
The tracks in the dunes I reckon are probably more amusing than the drive on the beach.
Thinking I might go via a couple of Coonawarra wineries and home via some rock art in the Grampians.......

Be careful what dunes you play in especially around 42 mile crossing, the ranger will book you if you go where you are not allowed with a big fine.
Stay outside the fenced off areas.

Cheers mate but I won't be travelling off the track. I'm a big believer in respecting the areas I travel in.......

I have only driven part of it to go fishing and camping, found it very soft especially in the shell grit.
You may find it impassable at this time of year.
I hadn't reviewed that yet.....phaaaark, sounds like a challenging trip at this time of year. Great link though. Heaps of good information there.
Thanks for that.
