Just spent the weekend in Dargo with a mate.
Didn't have any particular plan other than to find some mud. Ended up doing a heap of river crossings, did Billy Goats Bluff with ease and found some good bog holes.
Wouldn't have made it through without the winch and a snatch em strap though!
I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Mate got stuck good there. Ended up having about 6" of water around his feet! Pulled himself out with the winch though, no damage except some wet carpet

He then proceded to get stuck here as well, but I snatched him out

And mine nice and dirty near the end of the trip

Good pics. Must be a good phone camera. Looks like the kind of place I may want to take the kids to one weekend. Any tracks you may recomend?

I'll get back to you tomorrow with names, I think the one with bog holes was called Dairy Plane Flat or something? Billy Goats Bluff is alright too, nice and steep.

Phone is a Sony C905 which has an 8MP camera, does an alright job!
