ivanhoe crossing is located just north of kununurra. it is one of the iconic water crossings of the ord river. it must have been a lot wilder in the past, before the dam was built; now the release of water is controlled and the crossing is deep enough to make it fun but not so deep a proper four-by is in any danger of being swept away.

the crossing is well constructed and basically a proper, if submerged, road. and of course, since this is the north of australia, there are crocs around. they are generally not visible, but that’s just why they are so dangerous.

below a bit of video from the crossing. i made kris cross (see what i did there) six times before i thought i had the footage i wanted.

btw; kris did all the snowflake & thorny driving, i did the drone driving.

  1. really impressive footage ! Your videos are getting quite professional: steady, perfect light and all… I am a bit jealous because you have such great motives for pics and videos!
    How often did you go up and down the crossing?

  2. danke. ja, das video ist halbwegs gelungen. aber nur weil kris so toll gefahren ist!
    6x hin und her …
