The highlight, without a doubt, was the "lifted" Suzuki minivan, driven by a dred-lock clad hippy dude, with his girlfriend and 2 dogs screaming through the crossing, successfully the first time, but no-so succesfully the 2nd time round. Was quite entertaining. I offered him a tow but he was happy to just sit there and wait for his dizzy to dry out...... You will hear me laughing in the video, not because I'm a sadistic prick but because the driver and his mrs were looking at me pissing themselves laughing too!!!

Anyway, here's the video:

All of these videos were taken in the space of about 5 mins! Popular spot!!!
 
See pin in the map below.

Easiest way to get there is via Kororoit Creek Rd.

You should have seen it last weekend after Saturday's rain! Only the bravest and BIGGEST 4WD's dared tackle it.

LOL, I thought that was Williamstown Ford? A mate of mine's Ford Escape swallowed water there about 2 years ago and bent the piston!!!!
Ive gone thru that ford a lot of times, there is another one in Altona Meadows just under the railway bridge - but watch the height/depth of the water, recently I went thru and I sh¡tted & panicked myself as my Liberty bogged down as it gotten deeper than what i expected, the water and reversed out before getting into trouble - it was all good..
