Pegasus Track, WA?

Thanks Alan.

Yeah, he picked a funny way to sort out some issues.
If it was true as told I'm amazed he survived so long without water.

Looking up Pegasus Track I came across the video Mick put on Vimeo from your trip last year. Looked like a hard way to have a holiday.

Thanks again.

Steve

Thanks very much again Mick O.

I appreciate your help.

Steve

Cheers Steve. So will you give it a crack this year ;-)

No. 2015 we are getting everything sorted and then Easter 2016 we are on the road for good.

The idea is to travel and work until we're sick of it. We'll be heading north and west. There are a lot of tracks in the north west we're planning on tackling so we'll work our way to Kununurra and set up somewhere up that way.

This year's trip took us up through western Queensland to the Sandover then up through the Davenport Range to the western Gulf where we stayed for a while.
It was a great trip and we loved the area and the people we met. We lost our dog to a 1080 bait while we were camped on Brunette Downs. That was pretty horrific for a while but these things happen...

It was really good reading your blog and watching the videos last night. They are put together really well and had me wincing more when you were on the tracks than off them.

It's amazing the difference in the condition of the Kidson Track between 2009 and when we drove it in 2012. I'm not sure if you've driven it since then.

Too many tracks and not enough time. That's why we want to get closer to where we want to explore so we have more time exploring and less time transitting (is that a word?).

Thanks again,

Steve

Mate, they were some of my first efforts. They are too long and very poor resolution. It gives you an idea though.

I was wincing when I watched that Bogucki documentary the other night as I'm more familiar than most with the country he traversed. Something not quite right there particularly around the no water form 12 days thingo! Savage country but you can hit the sweet spot at that time of year as I've found out over eight trips through the area since 2006.

Yep, the Kidson has changed a fair bit since Ray Ronchi touched it up in 2011. Bottom half is still the same though. (Was there last year and this ;-) Ray has some bloody funny stories around grading out to Gwenneth lakes. The one about the 'Environmental" lawyer, the bulldozer driver and the T/O's is priceless!

Casual 2015 for me as well with something really special planned for 2016. 10 years exactly from when I headed off at Easter 2006 to do as you intend. Loved Kununurra. Good town, good people. Spent a fair amount of time there. Any nature of work available. Foolishly came back after 13 months....should have stayed!

2015 will be spent fitting out the new quad and taking the Princess to places of her choice (She has to get used to the idea of five months without me in 2016 so best get the brownie points up now. lol).

Admire the dash of anyone prepared to step outside the square and head off like you intend. We are underground for a long after all. Live it now.

Cheers Mick.

Mick,

don't apologise for the videos being too long. I enjoyed every minute of it. It took me there and I was moving my head as the branches slapped the windscreen.

2016 sounds interesting. Is it in Australia?
Happy wife, happy life I always say. My wife reminds me often enough.

We've decided to cut the back off our 80 series and convert it to an extra cab. It's been a great truck for touring, reliable and parts are easy to source anywhere. That's part of our 2015 plans.

We're heading out to Cameron Corner for a bit of outback summer fun New Years Eve. I need to get out there every few months like it's an addiction. Hopefully waking up in the desert after three New Years Eves in the one night should sort me out for a bit.

Hoo roo,
Steve
