The Savannah Way - Gulf Country by Subbie??
Hi Folks,
Just new to the forum but keen to see if anybody has done the Savannah Way in a Subbie. I am sure it can be done, but would be great to get some affirmation. I have an '06 Forester and looking to go from Burketown to Borololoola to Roper Bar on the dirt. Love to get some feedback if anybody has done this...
Thanks
Luke

We have lapped the country twice, both in L series (stock), using a tarp to fjord deeper water crossings. The suby-doo has done the Cape, Arnhemland, and even the Gibb river road (in the dry of course) without missing a beat. The trick is to plan your trip around the weather... middle of the dry season is best for the safer trip, just after the wet is more fun though (like now!).
