To reiterate what Bowie says, this was a reasonably easy crossing into Elliot Falls camp site.. it was borderline wading depth wise

Seriously consider a Snorkel as many crossings have drop offs/pot holes that mean you potentially could inadvertently dip the air intake in..it helps mitigate risk.

In regard to cost the LR RAI for the Sport/D3/4 cost approx $1650 fitted and sealed by Opposite Lock (in standard form it is only air rated so needs aftermarket fitting/sealing).

Tyres, suspension and a snorkel are the main issues. Fuel is not a problem. I think all wagons should have a luggage barrier. Corrugations will shake you about so be prepared.

Where you will get a Safari Snorkel for a D4 fitted for around $700.
