It would be fine at lancelin and the tracks around there.
But if you end up going to wedge along the beach, (not the dune tracks) it would probably have a hard time.
Last time I went up along the beach with a mate my rangie was dragging it's diff in the sand! After about 500m and several attempts we went back onto the dune tracks.
Only tried that once though, it might have been a one off?
The sand was very soft & powdery.
The dune tracks are OK I have been across them twice. There is only one challenging part and that has a chicken track. A lot of capstone around there.
So if shes staying at lanceling or dune tracks she should be OK.
Any other opinions anyone?
I don't really know how much clearance etc they have.
Don't really know mate haven't been up there in years.. But it shouldn't be too hard for a freelander..we could always skull drag it if it gets too bad..Sand is generally Ok..but at Harvey you would lose :D:D:Dsight of the freelander in some of those ruts
Not if you know where your wheels are and the holes are.

Alright party peoples.
What time and place for the meet up?
Weather looks good should be a great day:D
Did the beach trip couple months back with Go Bush 4wd from Cervantes to Lancilin beach was very soft and narrow in couple of places towards end of trip and had to cut across the dunes off the beach to complete the trip.
Couple of people did get bogged close to water edge where beach narrowed so would need a least 2 - 3 snatchum straps linked together to recover them safely.
Most of the trip had my tryes on 18 last section lowered them to 12psi due to softer sand and only once had to go to low range for getting off the beach.
Sand Dunes were fine to play on nice white sand
What time on Sunday were you thinking of going and where from
