New Year/January Trip
-
all was good until we came home on australia day.
there were some pretty serious floods out that way which affected our property pretty badly.
just for interests sake, there is (i think) 8 creek crossings on the way out - and only one way out..
well, we had to make it - we had run out of food and more importantly, booze!!
heres the event in a few pics (not many sorry, was kinda busy!)

Nearly need an 'orse with the crossings that high!
Funny, I'd always thought that Texas would be flat, like Inglewood.
Nice place and thanks for sharing.

yeah, thanks guys.
it was a bloody good trip. though, admittedly its scared me off creek crossings for a while... they were really flowing!
umm, normally they are nothing to worry about. regularly cross them in forester (though, that can be a bit tense too sometimes!)
these two photos show two different creek crossings - neither are the 'wide creek crossing' as its known. its usually up to the top of the tyres, but is about 100m + across in the dry with very loose stones under it. so gotta keep moving or else you can run into a bit of trouble (i drowned the missus' subaru in there once :oops:)

Glad you got out safe mate. Nice photos too.
Have a look in the videos section (up top of screen in red), I posted a creek crossing. It's called: creek crossing sandycape. Same story, fine on the way in and then rained non stop to make the return trip very interesting!!
