We decided to leave the campers at Bramwell while we explored the southern section of the tele track, not really expecting to complete the southern track in one day. However this section of track was not as challenging as we had expected.
The first crossing we came to not far into it was Palm Creek with steep & slippery entry & exit points. The prado made down the steep entry but much to Elton's delight & Lee's disgust the prado had to be pulled up the hill by the landcruiser. The next few crossings were relatively uneventful until we reached the infamous gunshot. One look at that sucker & we decided that it was the easy entry for us, although technically we did do gunshot. However Elton must have thought that wasn't exciting enough & nearly drove the landy into a big hole that "he didn't see". Now it was the prado's turn to rescue the landcruiser.
Gunshot turned out to be a nice spot for a swim & some lunch before tackling the rest of the track.
The only other tricky crossing was Cockatoo Creek which is deep & with big rocky potholes. We reached the creek at the same time as a couple of other vehicles & after walking the crossing to find the best path everyone helped guide eachother through.
After a long day we headed back to Bramwell for one more night.
