Old Telegraph Track(North)

But we must push on we have the northern section of the OTT to go.
Off again in search of new creeks and tuff tracks. All the way you see the old telegraph poles mostly bent over but no as many now we are up further. It is one hell of an adventure and we are having a great time and the Tojo is holding up well. We carry along the track where we come across the Tourists again and walk a rather deep water crossing.

Just after we left camp we come across Canal creek crossing which looks easy but all the exits are tricky. I just miss the exit route slightly and end up with the car wedged on its belly, there are no trees for the winch to work but I was able to reverse and then take a different line which worked.


The Trailer boys have lost a wheel and are doing repairs. I’m keen and jump in to cross. It is easy but there is something unnerving about water coming over the bonnet.

The Tourists go next and make it OK. Further down the track another deep crossing with some people stopped to let some air out of their tyres because it is sandy.

I’m not sure that would help but we drove straight through once again with water going over the bonnet.
