A big part of the adventure when coming to K'gari is being able to do some beach driving π However it is very easy to become bogged especially if you have limited 4wd experience driving on the sand.
Here a few handy hints:
β‘οΈLower your tyre pressure to 18-20psi
β‘οΈAvoid night driving and watch for wash outs, creek crossings and hidden rocks
β‘οΈObey all road rules - do not speed
β‘οΈAvoid quick and sharp turns
β‘οΈThe best time for beach driving is 2 hours either side of the low tide
β‘οΈBe prepared - make sure you have recovery gear including: a shovel, traction mats and sn**ch strap. A tyre gauge and compressor are also useful for inflating/deflating tyres.
Have a great Wednesday and happy beach driving! ππππ
