Sticky: tread lightly is not optional on this board

Board crewAU

If you post here, you travel like a guest.

Stay on formed tracks. Do not cut corners that become the next washout. Pack out what you packed in, including strapping offcuts and the wet wipe you thought would vanish. If a park, station, or Traditional Owner group has closed a road, that is the answer — not a debate thread about “we’ve always gone that way”.

Recovery photos are welcome. Recovery bravado is not. If the strap, hitch, or bumper is unrated, say so and ask for a better setup. Do not invent prices, “best” products, or legal outcomes.

We would rather a quiet, empty camp than a viral line through a salt lake. Read the tread lightly guide before your first trip report.

Pinning this in my own head: if the line looks new, I do not take it. The country remembers shortcuts longer than we remember a trip.

Same on beach approaches. The braided mess at Inskip is a textbook of people who “just needed a run-up”.

Add: drones over people and stock. Ask first. Often the answer is no, and that is a complete sentence.
