Me being the absolute Mensa candidate I am, got caught up in the tail end of the more recent northern NSW floods on the way back and decided to wing it, followed the GPS and took it through some dodgy AF dirt track near the QLD/NSW border with a muddy creek crossing and took it down the B91 trying to beat the weather, took on dodgy fuel in Casino and then managed to limp through flooded roads between Casino and Grafton by tail gating some young family in a Kia Carnival trying to work their way back to Sydney

The mighty Falcon, she's made for this country and it's goat tracks, I reckon she'll be alright on the 19s
