Cape York water crossings.
« on: September 24, 2012, 07:33:13 AM »
Hi Guys,

I'm new to the forum (i've come across from the dark side!)

Thought you might enjoy this "how not to go across Nolans" video on YouTube:
Cape York 2012 Nolans Brook June. Small | Large


I think this guy was trying to skim across the top of the water!
Ps.
Sorry if this has been posted before here.

Yeah this has been around the traps a bit.

I wonder if the bystanders who told him to kill the engine also told him to hit the water that hard.
