    I knew what track that was before even watching the video haha we went on it a couple years ago, it sucks! We ended up getting lost and ended up in a farmers paddock then found our way back to a road. Its a very remote area out there, very remote. There is nobody out there and them tracks are really old.

    You are lucky, plenty of cars have got stuck and lost on those salt lakes. The locals will not help, and theres hardly any of them. They are sick of it. Ive had mates stuck there for days until it dries out. You can avoid all the salt lakes if you map out your trip before you go. It's swag country though, most of it is pointless with a caravan as you found out ;)

    Might be worth doing a little research. You drove past one of the most iconic surf beaches in Australia near Penong - Cactus.
    If you watched Stefan Fischer's video from a couple of months back - they got lost in the same spot west of Fowlers Bay where the tracks disappear. Why didn't you drive the old eyre highway instead of rushing through on the bitumen.

    Wombats have a hard boney plate on their back. I reckon those bones were a predator like a fox, cat or dingo, that was a bit too cocky trying to get into the tunnel and the wombat has crushed it against the tunnel walls. Pretty hectic!
