    Hey Snicko. those first 5 pics from the 2nd July dont look like the WAA line mate, they look like the Rig rd and the K1, The WAA was very sandy and not well defined mate, If you remember it was 2 wheel ruts for most of it and no clay pans of Graders. It might even have been Erabina Tk down to the Lone Gum? maybe?

    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.

    Awesome Snicko!! Only correction was Winnie failed the first round too but conquered it on the second round with me.

    Tyres went down to 12psi for everyone that got to the top!! I was stoked to make it over after failing more than 10 attempts last time when I did the Madigan! I had to conquer it this time. Bloody thing had the better of me!! Not any more!! Smashed that Farker!!!
