[QUOTE="Goldpick, post: 285509, member: 1695"] When I worked in the NT, now and again you would come across dark patches inbetween the spinifex and harder packed sand. These patches usually consisted of a thin crust with the stickiest black mud underneath - hit one of these areas and you would sink down to the belly of the cruiser ute pretty much instananeously. On one particular day we bogged our cruiser, the drill rig (caterpilpar timberjack) and support truck all within several metres of each other after leaving an access track. We ended up unbogging the rig using the hydraulic jacks and some sleepers, then pulled everything else out using the rig and some chains. Not much fun in 40deg plus temps with a ton of humidity thrown it for good measure. :) [/QUOTE]
