We didn't engage 4wd
We didn't drive the old track off the top of ABC rock
We couldn't find the old dam down by the traction engine
We didn't tease the eels
We didn't drive in any rivers
We didn't discharge any sediment in to any water ways.

On a serious note, the track is going to be in need of some maintenance by the end of the year, IT IS NOT A SHINY TRACK ANYMORE.
We had busted and bent bumpers and flares on all four corners on the SWB Prado and it needed towing 3 or four times on the main track, the SWB Safari with us lost all its flares, some minor panel damage to the front end and blew a tyre off the bead.
Most of the damage occurred on the stretch of track between where the gated loop track branches off and the Tram car at the Tairua river.
Make sure you guy's all donate ya 10 bucks, its gonna be needed to run the digger to patch the track up this year!!!!!!
i dont remember it being that bad

and you better not clean that safari , it looks chuurrr with its covering
