4 Wheel driving in Australia

My husband is really passionate about 4 wheel driving, I dont know how to drive but he let me drive in the bush and tried this 4 wheel driving, it was scary, to think that I dont know how to drive and to go through rough roads and uneven ground and worse is crossing river with different depth.

Last year, we went to Queensland Australia to do a 6 week outback adventure---it's the real Australian outback adventure. we went to the tip of Australia and travel through the famous "Old Telegraph track" it is one of the track that you will drive through using your 4WD on your way to Cape York. It is famous for its tough 4 wheel driving and only accessible on drier months.
There are really tough obstacle here to pass through and aim to finish the line without going to the chicken line (the easy way out).
The first major obstacle you will encounter is the Palm Creek. This one is the difficult one and if you can pass through here, there is no doubt you can TRY doing the other obstacle. Here is a video of my husband driving.

(sorry about my not so steady hands, I was walking while taking it)
After Palm Creek, there are camp sites nearby river that you can camp, but make sure there is no crocs in the area and you are in a higher place. Since my husband is a local, he is very much familiar with the place and knowing the nature of wild animals. In our adventure we stayed at Dulhunty river, or should we call it Dunhunty, for the fact that the people just poop everywhere without burying it, it was really disgusting.

The next obstacle you will go through is the Gun Shot, it was the hardest, to think that its original drop is not impassable anymore and they made 2 other ways to go down. I was scared just by looking at the original path, but we went to the second best, still my husband doesnt want to back down and not take the chicken track. Here is his video;

and that is just part of our whole adventure. There is more creek and river crossing that we went through.
The next video is the cannibal creek. I was scared taking this video because of the area, because there is more possibility of crocodile and snake around and I wont be able to see it since my focus was taking a video. We are the only people at that time, which adds up to the fear, and mind you, I never camp before and never experience the real outback before. Anyway, here is the video:

The next video is my husband and friend's favorite, well to be honest, I was amazed too on how "paje" (his pajero) did it, like it was so easy- a walk in the park as we speak, we have the smallest 4 wheel drive on the trip and everybody thinks that we wont be able to survive the track. Thank goodness for my husband and friend's team up, being the best driver and the best navigator. You might be wondering what's my role? I am the videographer, and without me, there will be no memories like these to keep and watch in the future. So here it is, the mistake creek, enjoy watching:

And last but not the least, this is the final obstacle you will do along the Old Telegraph Track, this is the Nolan Brook river, this river is short ride but its depth varies. One minute its only from the knees and then the next will be chest high. You really need to walk through the river before driving for you to know where to go or else you will end up getting stuck in there and will be one of the many who failed to do the Nolan Brook river, and its really not good for a 4wd fanatic to not accomplished this one last obstacle. But luckily, with "Paje" we did it, we just have to put tarp on the front just to be safe. Here is the video:

We thought were not gonna make it and have to pull out "Paje", he was floating for a second there, and boom!.. were out, yehey!, that was a successful trip along the telegraph track.

Hope you enjoyed this blog, especially for 4wd fanatics.
