Looks like fun though. In January we took our Subaru down to Tasmania. We followed a line on a map that was supposed to be a road. The bonnet went underwater at least three times, but the Forester kept going. Hers some pics of the road, not from our camera though, Marie was sitting in the passenger seat holding on an panicking.

The road


Give you an idea how deep it is


The landcruiser in front of us gave me an indication of the depth. We did have mud over the top of the car from this. Glad i wasnt on the TDM

Not sure how deep water a TDM can cross, I have only been thru a long piece that came up to my anke bones (on the pegs) About axle deep.

It was a very soft sandy bottom, Thomas. The road tyres on the TDM would have just dug in. I learnt the hard way to walk every crossing before you ride through if you dont know it.

That'd give more traction I reckon.
