Thread: Wonnangatta River Dargo

we stopped today on the dargo high plains rd for a broken 75 series being towed buy another 75 series, they were fine, i was just being polite.
by the time we got to the bottom of the hill, we had no brakes.
And wifey was steering, she pooped herself (not literally)

Not a good thing to happen! Was it brake fade?

My problem was the temp was reaching a 100 Degress C on some of the longer hills. It didn't go above that but I think the radiator might be the cause although others have said 100 Degrees is not at all bad in a 15PSI system.

While on the Wonnangatta river three Prado drivers stopped near our campsite and it was smugness all the way with comments like "don't start a Land Rover discussion" and the "Prado handled the Billy Goat Bluff track like a highway". They only did it going down, which I pointed out was pretty easy and that maybe they should try it going up!
