Cont. The mud pits are really only for the big tyre, extreme 4 wds. Its more of a slurry, neither true mud or water. The 4WDSA trainers will no longer be using it for training. That was the problem. Fairly standard four wheel drives tried to go through the pits and that I why that rumour/opinion is circulating.

Other than the mud pits there are plenty of hills to try and some creek crossings. In our group we had a stock Prado and it was undamaged as he did not try the extreme stuff. There was still plenty for him to try.

50 bucks is pricey but its only 50km from Adelaide so good for a day trip.
