Border Track SA

[pauljoz]

XC90 - only stuck slightly once in sand. Did the full length of the track and all dunes with one overnight stop.

Didn't enter the mudholes - they were blocked by stuck Toyotas and Nissans ;)

Went well prepared with others. Probably at the limit of the vehicle due to ground clearance. Came through relatively unscathed.

Google / youtube "border track" for details of the track - and plenty of idiots digging ruts.

Is this Southern Australia or South Africa? Just wondering. I took a trip to South Africa in October last year. Beautiful country. Unfortunately I was driving a Toyota instead of my XC70.

Looks like you had a lot of fun on your drive. Thanks for the photos.

Yes, I saw that. But sometimes even though the country abbreviation for South Africa is ZA people tend to use SA and SA is for Saudi Arabia but that's a different story...
