Reply With QuoteBeen down to Dingos a number of times. Can be very soft but as long as tyres are down should be no problems. I regularly run as low as 10psi with the 19" rims on some of the beaches down on the south coast.

I have upmost confidence in the D4 as long as it has anything but soft powdery deep sand under its feet.
Been to Dingoes plenty of times in the D2.
Went to West Cape Howe last easter.Was realy impressed with its performance on the track at 20psi.The belt rubber made it all so easy.Did see other lesser 4x4s struggling,plus the TD5 D2 we were travelling with kept dissapearing into the distance.Something to do with having to take run ups for the steep hills

SupporterAndy, is there now a gravel track down to the beach? Your description seems to imply that, hence why we thought of Mutton Bird. When I last went there it was steep sand in a 2m plus deep vertical sided cutting, which looked very dangerous.

Perhaps its not Dingo Beach.
I turn left down a steep gravel track,perhaps around 1000m off Cosy cnr road.At the end it splits into 2 tracks Ive always taken the left one.Its quite steep,ends up on a small beach very close to the island.There is no deep cutting,track is very steep.

Sounds like Hartmans. Good spot to launch boats as it is protected by the islands.

I was lobbing a mulie on a float right on the rocks between the beach and island,couldnt convince anything to bite.Tried a bottom rig but there was too much weed with the the current drift.Originally Posted by Bandi1950

A set of just about to reach minimum depth 265x60x18" Cooper AT3's. The day before I had just checked and set the pressures and was running 40lb in the rear and 34lb in the front.
The moment I got onto the beach properly I could tell chances are that we would be in trouble if I stopped, while moving it was a bit of a struggle but still ok.
The area I stopped looked reasonably hard packed but I was wrong. As I said previously my bad, won't do it again.
Cheers,
Terry

Thanks mate.
Thought you'd be pretty safe on a tyre that size .... just goes to show.
Better finding out there though than somewhere ugly or dangerous to yourself or car.
Cheers.
