'Crazy Australians': Welsh tourists can't believe the moment group of young Aussies attempt to cross a river in their 4WD – but do they make it?

  • Welsh tourists watched an Australian driver in a 4WD attempt to cross a lake
  • At one point, the front half of the Toyota Hilux was seen plunging into water 
  • The tourists were left in disbelief when the 4WD eventually pushed through  

A group of Welsh tourists were left holding their breath as they watched an Australian attempt to cross a river in 4WD.

Footage uploaded by ViralHog captured the Toyota Hilux slowly backing up on land, before fearlessly driving through a creek on Blacksmiths beach in Lake Macquarie in New South Wales' east.

At one point, the front half of the 4WD was seen plunging into the water and only the top half of the vehicle could be seen.

'Crazy Australians,' one of the tourists said.

The 4WD eventually pushed through the waters and onto the sand, as the Welsh tourists and two other Australian friends of the driver cheered on his incredible effort.

'You are joking,' the tourist said in disbelief.

The reckless driver walked out of his car soaked on the bottom half of his body.

Parts of the 4WD were covered in seaweed as water poured out.  

Blacksmith's Beach is at the southern end of a 14km stretch of sand popular with 4WDs. 

Parts of the 4WD were covered in seaweed as heavy waters leaked from inside the vehicle
