Submerged cruiser

A Cruiser in serious trouble

This cruiser stalled during the crossing and drifted into deeper water. It remained stuck for 22 hours before being recovered by the SES. Check out the Recoveries page to see the winching operation.

Check out the depth

This is where the cruiser stopped drifting, a little deep for comfort.

Mark's Cruiser crossing the Hill River

It looks easy, doesn't it? Maybe, but at times it can be very deep! Well worth walking across it first!

Water crossing at Dwellingup in West Australia

Tony's Hilux crossing the Murray River

This is a nice river crossing at Dwellingup in West Australia's south west. Although the water level is quite low here, it would be very hazardous to be swept over the edge!

Safe water crossing by using a tarp.

Daihatsu doing a water crossing

A sucsessful water crossing. Notice the Tarp secured to the front of the vehicle to minimise the risk of water entering the engine bay, which may cause it to stall, or be damaged.

Heartbreak Water crossing over Warren River

Crusier crossing the Warren River

Another sucsessful water crossing. This crossing is named "Heartbreak" after the number of 4WDs that have been written off at this spot!
