Agree 100% really enjoyed it. So many things done that now days would not be possible or legal. I am glad I was kid growing up in the 60's and 70's, with a sense of adventure from being a Scout, feed on a "diet" of Malcolm Douglus and Leyland Brothers and I was most fortunate to have gone the Scouts and school with the children of Len Beadell. Len was a regular visitor to our Scout Troop where he held very entertaining slide shows of his adventures. Even in the early to mid 80's it was still possible to cross the Simpson and not see anyone for 5 days and if you saw more than a half dozen vehicles each day up the Cape or in the Kimberley you considered it busy!Originally posted by nj swb View PostWhat a great video, and awesome adventure!

Brilliant footage. Great to watch. Such a simple concept to float the cars and trailer across the rivers. As they say necessity is the mother of all invention.
Great post Dicko
