The Skye Memorial Uluru Jaunt (and 4wd was engaged for entire trip)

I was going to a new job. I needed a break and the leave was planned to try to get a response from my new employers to commit to start dates. As it turned out, I was offered another job but I retained the leave as I was jaded and needed a break and I was mourning the loss of our most wonderful 4 legged companion, Skye.

Tip:

4x4 Preparation<br> The first thing to do before any unfamiliar water crossing is to walk it. If you cannot walk it you cannot cross it. If the water is flowing too quickly to safely walk the crossing, then it cannot be driven across. Remember, 4x4 's actually float until water seeps into them. When you walk the crossing you are actually starting your vehicle preparation. You are giving the axles, diffs and gearbox time to cool down while you find out exactly how deep the water is.
