Only if it rains mate.....
And yes, you will be more comfortable in a 4WD.
Most of the lower level rivers and creeks in the outback have what is called in Oz a low level crossing. In other words a low level bridge. So when, if it rains, on your vist to our sunburnt land, depends on how long it rains for of course, one will have to wait till the river or creek flow slows or stops before one can drive through such a crossing.
So if you are driving when it is raining out west (outback, we live between Townsivlle and Mt Isa Qld), slow down, and golden rule, never drive through a creek or river, unless you have walked through it first. It could be running to fast or the creek floor could be washed out, either way walk it first. Or lose your car and all your gear and have a longer walk ahead.
Enjoy your trip.
