Shauno and Graham Cahill push a brand-new track through the Kimberley to reach a remote beach no 4WD has ever touched — until unseasonal rain floods the Oombi and buries them in the mud.
The Kimberley is Australia's last great wilderness, and the mission's clear: cut a track to a secret beach where no 4WD has ever been. It doesn't stay simple. Weeks of low range through croc country turn brutal when the rain hits — deep mud, back-to-back bogs and flooding rain in the wildest country on the planet.
Every 4WD bogged, hundreds of winches, and a coast that keeps slipping further out of reach. Can we open a new track to the Kimberley coast, or does the mud get the better of us?
Part 1 of a two-part Kimberley mission — Part 2 drops soon.
