Quick spin around the block
I went for a drive with a mate today and had some fun. We've had a lot of rain recently, and came across this swollen creek just minutes into the trip.
Then we dropped in to Darwin River Dam, and tried a 'shortcut' to Batchelor. After a few closed roads, we tried a 'track' on the GPS which led to an accidental heated exchange with a farmer - oops! We also tried some pretty iffy trails and called it quits when the speargrass was much higher than the roof and I couldn't see what I was driving in to.
Eventually we made our way back, dabbling with side roads along the way.
I wimped out of this one, and then found out that 3 vehicles had apparently been swept into the river before us (whew!).
All in all the X-trail did very well for itself, and earned its wash (which it well needed!).
