There's no such thing as a wrong turn... it's just the scenic route!

no.1 aah the carpet needed a wash anyway . no. 2. now renamed nolans swamp . allthough the dash was lit up at no time did any system fail on the car . so for the next 3-4 hrs my feet got slow roasted by the heater . no. 3 is apparently called the lagoon ,i got to share a walk in it with a snake ,i didn't go close enough to identify it in case i looked like high ground . there were some very deep holes in this one so not wishing to further stress the car i took the kitty cat option and had to winch out over a small bank to the left . where the pic is taken from , there is a 2ft drop into 6-8 inch deep mud , i know what mud does and im in serious vehicle preservation mode by now . no.4 its all good fun and the only time i had to winch out . no.5 . the log bridge03 grande v6 , with added stuff that makes it go places .

don't know the names of most of these crossings as by this time i was pretty over river crossings and the light was fading .i needed to get to somewhere to eat , drink and unload the car and servey the results . by the time i got to the end of the northern section and reached the main rd ,i had just enough time to pump up the tires before the light went out completely . then another 120 ks to bramwell station at 60 kph , arrived just b4 9pm . time to change my undies .Last edited by kav; 18-08-2011, 11:21 AM.03 grande v6 , with added stuff that makes it go places .

We camped past the southern-most crossing of the northern section - at Edith Falls. Very nice large campground.
The Telegraph track is worth taking your time on. It's not like it's easy to get to!Last edited by stevensr34; 18-08-2011, 01:51 PM.Rob.

Nice report Kav. Sorry you got swamped in the Ford and Nolans. We did it as well and made it through with out a problem accept for a small bit of carpet near where the diff locker pipes go into the car under the passenger seat. I forgot to pug up the holes with silicon. Ill post all of my photos as soon as I can. I am still in Cairns having a relax before heading home to Melbourne on Tuesday morning.
Cheers.90 series prado with lots of stuff.

No worries Kav ill do it as soon as I can. The only major problem I had is poping out the CV joint in the diff because I was using my front locker too much. It was a bit of a worry when we got to the jardine and I could smell the oil pouring out of the spline and thought I had done some serious damage. Luckily my brother a 4x4 mechanic told me to take the weight of the wheel and pop the spline back in and fill the diff with oil again and all fixed. When I get home ill change the cerclip in the diff to hopefully stop it happening again.90 series prado with lots of stuff.
