Trip Preparation Advice

Putting your cutlery in a kids pencil case was the best gem I ever picked up!! Cheers

Hey C74, don't be a tar hugger. Your rig will easily cope with Cape Arid as you are not towing a trailer like we did in April. And if you purchase Ron Moons book " Across the Bight and Nullarbor" you will find out why it was named Israelite Bay. LOL. I have crossed the Nullarbor twice using the book which is very handy re side trips, camp sites etc etc. It's only about $25... Cheers, Warrie

Each evening, before it gets dark, make a habit to put everything you need during the night in its set spot (wherever that is!). It's amazing how damn dark it can be outback with a torch held in your mouth, searching for something...or how the dark spots can hide things away from the car's internal light...but if the things are all in the "right spot" sanity prevails!
In our case, it was knowing where the bug spray was (did it get moved during the day?), where the toilet bags were for teeth cleaning (did something get put on them while I was looking for the umbrella earlier on?), can I put my hand on my jumper when it gets cooler, etc. It certainly saves on torch batteries when you can simply open the door and put your hand on the thing you need instead of scratching around and burying other things!
