[talk-au] Adding river crossings to Guidelines "road quality / 4wd-only"?

[Adam Steer]

A little note to the discussion - the foot/ animal traffic modes = no are
crocodile related, right?

Yes, possible. Recommended? Definitely not according to every google-able
bit of information about the place.

For vehicles I think it's generally worth indicating something about
whether a ford / river needs a proper 4wd. Here I'm thinking of one I know
well, where some ways to the river are easily SUV ok - but you need great
clearance, a lot of grip and a high air intake to make the river crossing.

I hope I haven't misinterpreted the conversation...

Cheers

Adam
