Thread: 36 trapped on the old bush road

I last did that track three summers ago. It was a definite "3 truck" track. We each of us required a pull at some point.

My point is this; we did the journey for the location and the scenery. The road was an incidental challenge that added to the experience

I feel now that some folks have little understanding of the geography, it's history or scenic grandeur, BUT want to do the trip because the (several now) 4WD books list it as pretty well the toughest track to complete.

As a farmer mate said last night to me, he wouldn't attempt that track now even on a tractor, in summer.

The "right" to attempt to drive that track has overtaken the responsibilities of those who do use it and similar tracks like it.

Unless drivers focus on their responsibilities, they will condemn us all lose any rights of access to that and similar roads......
