Yep, the seals are mighty impressive for sure, many of the trips I've done my car is in clouds of dust from traffic ahead or what it kicks up itself. Up at the Argadells, mine was caked in dust, none inside, the Wrangler boys rolled all weekend without doors and roofs, they were filthy! Haha
If the dust is minimal, I do quite like having the sunroof open with some nice fresh air.

350km run home, same road , same load going down, 19l/100 coming home 16l/100, ran like a dream except windscreen washers failed, don't know if age and heat but the line that feeds the sprayers is very brittle, fell apart in hand, thankfully a length of clear tube 10mm I think that i got from Bunnings sorted things out....... With my van on the back circa 2.8t, it just motors along...........

Took a drive down to Kyogle to check out a couple of camping spots...stayed in Casino overnight then headed back via a "short cut" from Kyogle Road up to Tyalbum.
Lots of damages from the recent rains with a main access bridge looking quite second hand, with a number of parts of the track quite damaged.
Photo of river damage at Casino...

I'm a bridge engineer not far from there and we're working on replacements for quite a few already. Some of the sites I've visited are amazing, wish I could have seen them go. Got one that was in a tributary to the Clarence and there was so much water coming down the river that the bridge, which was 40m long and 2 lanes wide concrete, ended up UPSTREAM.
