  • Bushy's Sand tracks trip SAT 14th Feb - COMPLETED

    Very short late notice.

    A number of various vehicles from various Adelaide clubs have a trip to Bushy's bush tracks this weekend.

    It is located alongside the Ngarkat Conservation park (160km from ADL) and is predominantly farming area with a large number of sand dunes to negotiate.
    Overnight camping is available. You need to bring your own food, water etc. there are long drops there though.

    This is the info from the organisers page.

    Bushy's 4wd tracks at Coonaplyn

    Lots of tracks, and huge sand hills, that some 4WD's still struggle with, a lot of the hills take 2-3 attempts. It has 2 Camp spots with long drops and fire pits. The owners are very friendly and take you around the property. The night drive is fun too.

    I've been there twice, with my 4WD Club and friends, and traded our RAV4 in on a Landcruiser, so it's time to have a go at the hills that I didn't make it up last time.

    It's close enough to Adelaide for those that don't want to stay the night.

    This is on a private property, and the cost is $25 per car. The event can only go ahead if the temperature is around the 25 degree mark.

    4WD's, Soft Roaders are needed for this fun. Low range gearing isn’t needed, you’ll still have fun.

    So we will meet at Coonalpyn at 9.30am on Saturday then drive to the property. After setting up camp, we will play around until dusk, have dinner, and some may go on a night drive, this is bit rough on the duco, then on Sunday, those that want to do it again, can or you can pack up and go home.

    You will need to bring food, water, camping gear, campers or a caravan. And recovery gear if you have it.

    I will be limiting this to 20 vehicles, and these will be split into 2 groups to travel around the property.
    Anyone interested in joining in?

          LOTS of digging.. Even one hole which almost even defeated the Winch! (After an hour of digging and maxtrax failed.. Managed to drag a fully laden 100 series 20 feet across the top of a dune whilst winching out :shock:

          Overall not a bad trip, some dune tracks that were from begineer to serious. A double lockered 100 couldnt even get up some..

          I am now honestly saying I hate Prado traction control... Bogged me more times than not..

          MTZ's were probably a bit chunky for the sand, performed well, but as soon as you spun, it just chewed down and sat on the underside..

          The owner did say it was the boggiest he has ever seen it. Some tracks were 3 foot deep washaway ruts filled with blowing sand... :roll:

            I didnt take any but there is some floating around, I have to get them from the people that took them. Think there may even be video of me killing the bash plate...

                Yeah some of the Geocachers that were there got really excited about it all, hence that video... :roll: The 100 series before me had destroyed the track digging it up all the way.. I was surprised I made it as far as I did. The traction control was the killer in the end, once that hits it just digs holes and sits in them ops:

                I still havent figured how a stationary 100 series "pulled" me out, more it was a half decent anchor point ! That was after I stopped dragging it nearly 20 or so feet across the top of the dune!!! Winch works well!

                Notice the Traction control clicking away at about 1 minute.

                  Yeah I was thinking that, cheeky bugger, that's why I changed the name of the video in the link.




                  The link to the video and a handfull of pics have been posted on LCOOL in the SA section.

                    What's the use of having a winch if you don't get to use it occasionally
                    Looked like a great day for that beach run
                    Cheers, Leon
