[QUOTE="RM Outback, post: 565056, member: 7093"] Be very careful and well prepared going into this country either above or below the snow line at this time of year especially solo and even with others. If you get yourself into difficult circumstances you need to have all the gear and the smarts to put yourself back on track. There's places I won't go to at this time of year for safety reasons it just isn't worth the risk and I strongly recommend if you haven't driven in this country in the worst weather or driven any challenging 4 wheel high country driving DON'T do it solo. Even the best bushies won't go in to parts in a vehicle at this time of year, if you do and you end up in trouble you will learn a very important life lesson if you make it out alive. The best time of year is Autumn due to river heights (predominantly at their lowest levels) and limited rainfall if it is forecast for heavy rainfall you might find yourself marooned for upto a week or more if rain persists. I know people who are well experienced and well equipped who have been stranded for 4 days. [/QUOTE]
