38080 Great track with heaps of other friendly travellers and great camp sites. Toyota Landcruiser Sep 19, 2013
49568 Didnt do Palm creek. Didnt have a winch. Do now. Good excuse to go back. Iconic track Toyota Prado Jul 16, 2013
14155 Great fun and a worthy trip but definitely a moderate track in the dry. We came through the southern section with a couple in a stock late 90s Pathfinder without incident. However, having said that, this season Nolan's crossing has claimed 27 cars (writeoffs) so have the recovery gear ready if you are going to attempt that Sandy crossing. Our hilux made it through unscathed though all the crossings :) Toyota Hilux Aug 15, 2012

36355 The trip on the OTL & to the tip was our honeymoon. It was a great experience. The Creek / water crossings were excellent. We are going back in July this year & do it all again with both 4wd's & 4 wheelers. What a way to spend our first wedding anniversary. Nissan Patrol Aug 8, 2012
