Leading the quads today was Colin Lawson on his Can Am Renegade 800, finishing less than a minute in front of Paul Smith on his Honda TRX700XX.
Smith said he had a great day and thought it was the best Leg he had done on three years in the Safari.
“Out of all three years, today had everything, but it was 30kms of hell at the end trying to navigate through the bush. I made it through and had an awesome day.”
Today’s 356 competitive kms (579kms in total) from Southern Cross north east to Leonora provided a score of challenges including anthills, large sections of badly rutted dirt, salt lakes and a crossing of the Trans Australian Railway.
Considered one of the world’s great endurance events, the Australasian Safari will travel from Southern Cross in the wheatbelt through to the historic Western Australian goldfields, desert, rugged bush and coastal sand dunes, finishing at Esperance.
