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

[Graeme Fitzpatrick]

 Thanks, everybody, for your comments!

It's always good to open another can of worms! :-)

Yes, I understand that access=no is a legal thing, but how do we
distinguish between "yes you are able to but no you shouldn't"?

Yep, that's exactly what I was thinking - yes, you could easily swim across
the river, but is that a good idea? :-(

Yep!

I've also driven across river crossings & I don't think the water has
actually reached the wheel hubs, but at other times, those crossings can be
2m deep, very fast flowing & totally impassable.

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

Not as far as I'm concerned!

Thanks
