    Didn't mean all poms, just the ones who partake in the afore mentioned activities. Of course, not limited to poms, but most of the Pay and Play sites I see footage of seems to be that

    No offence intended to non aquatic poms

    Anyway, have I previously confessed to being a pom hater or something?

    Nolans is generally the deepest,but watch the others as well.

    On the first trip we did,'07,Palm ck was bonnet level on the D2a,and one i think is called Logan ford? was also very deep.

    I got crossed up in a relatively shallow creek on the way to a fantastic camping spot on the Jardine,the water was about 2mm from getting into the auto ECU.
    When we eventually got out we found dozens of fish in the passenger footwells.

    All fun and games.

    One of my brothers lived in Weipa for many years.

    One year,mid '80s,they drove the Jardine in a petrol MQ patrol.I don't think the water was 1400mm deep though.Did it no worries.

    There are some fantastic remote camping spots along both sides of the Jardine,but watch out for crocs.

    The story is,Bazza,his mate was too stingy to pay the ferry fare.

    What about taping up the drainage holes in the bottom of the doors?

    I think it'd be better to leave the drain holes open but that's just me
