    It was about 3' deep and went for about 1/2 mile. It went to the top of the wheels and fuel tanks. I've got high remote mount breathers on the diffs and trans but some water got through the rubber caps on the steer axle so I'm fixing that right now.
    All the trailer wheels were ok.

    I'll be down there next month. Landing at Brisbane, cruise around for 23 days in a Campa-Van and fly back out from Sydney

    If you want to see the really big roadtrains head out to Mt Isa/Alice Springs/Darwin.
    February is the hottest time of year!
    Don't forget to drive on the left!

    The road was closed for cars. There were plenty of signs.
    The road was like that for a month. It's the main road to the north for trucks.
