Is
there any mud in Belgium?
A couple of very proud LandCruiser
owners in Belgium. I am sure that once they put it into 4WD, this BJ42 would have just
driven out of that - not! I wonder who washes their clothes! |

The
Tracks of the Lake Johnson region!
This is an example of the tracks of the
Lake Johnson region after the heavy rains of winter. Most of the tracks turn to mud, and
are underwater, and are usually closed to traffic for several weeks in the wet season. |
|
Mud Slicks!
An example of how a brand new
4WD tyre can turn into a slick when mud is encountered, causing complete loss of traction.

|
Mud Hill Climb!
Even diff locks could not help
Mark get his cruise up this hill. The mud was just too slippery! But he did get up in the
end, with a bit of a run-up! |
|
More ground clearance needed!
Help! Give me a push please!
This Daihatsu Feroza is sitting on it's belly and in need of a push! |
|
How about a push!
The ground clearance was again a
bit low for this track, but a bit of a push and it was "on the road again"! |
|
Mud Everywhere!
An example of what happens to
the tracks around Harvey in WA's south west after rain! This track was the only way out,
and we all had to go through it. We were stuck here for over an hour getting 2 vehicles
out! |
|
Geoff's Cruiser stuck
Still in Harvey, this shows how
bad (and deep) the mud can become. We broke a snatch rope trying to get this 60 series
cruiser out! |
|
Geoff's Cruiser still stuck!
Another angle of Geoff's
cruiser, still on the same muddy track in Harvey. It took over an hour to get the one out,
as the more we tried, the deeper it sank! |
|
Getting sideways on a hill climb!
This Daihatsu Feroza became very
sideways when trying to climb this muddy slope. Trying to steer is difficult in muddy
rutted tracks. |

Alan's Cruiser in a deep muddy puddle
Alan's cruiser trying to head
along the track from Mundaring towards york, in the middle of winter on a rainy day! |
|
Try driving up this!

up one of the challenging obstacles along the Mundaring to York track |
|
More muddy ditches to cross!
An example of what the Mundaring
to York track can look like after some rainfall. Very muddy and slippery! |

Alan's Cruiser on a dark muddy track

a muddy track near lake Jasper in West Australia's south west, as the sun goes down. |
|
Mark's Cruiser in a deep mud hole
This shows Mark's cruiser going
through a deep mud hole at Jumilar. |
|
Even
crusiers get stuck!
Some mud is just too deep. Here, Mark's crusier has
it's belly firmly on the ground, leaving very little traction for the wheels. |
