Beware the Wet Patch

I had originally intended to go along the Oodnadatta Track but because of rain it was closed. While I was in Coober Pedy I thought I would attempt to get to the Dog Fence which is only 15km away.

This is a video of that attempt. I got within about 5km but turned round because I was worried about getting bogged on a road I shouldn't have been on (notice the sign says 4WD Only), it is a desert and it was getting late.

On the video the place I turned round actually looks better than some earlier wet bits but in reality it was very soft.

It's only 3 minutes long and it's not the sort of road you get much in the UK.

Very much like the M6 in winter here in England without the traffic.
