Thanks Robert!
I'd seen a few references to water availability while I was making Gibb notes. Thanks for the exact info there...you've saved me having to go back through Ron and Viv Moon's
Kimberley book to find them all again!
We have a Kia Sorento (the model that has dual range 4WD) and it's been lifted and had a
snorkel added and has off-road tyres...people can never work out what model it is because it doesn't look like any other Sorento! The Beast has breezed through the Strezleki,
Birdsville, wet black soil and more.
The trailer is homemade by a fitter and machinist who doesn't do things by halves (these darn fitters!) so we have faith in it doing the Tanami and GRR. Actually, it's about the size of your TVan if you exclude the fact that we just have a back door and not the cool extra tent-bit that you have, and we have no
kitchen like the TVan...But we do have a solar panel, a tv, underbed storage, space for the car fridge, storage shelves...and no
kitchen means that by necessity we eat out at the local pubs etc bit more often!!!
It'll be replaced by a real van in the next 12 months...we just didn't want to take a real van on the Tanami and GRR!
We don't feel the urge to do the extra-challenging
Mitchell Falls Road when there are so many great
places we can access more easily. As hubby says to some sights "Great experience and all, but we do have to get
home again!"
Looks like I'd better hit the camping store for a filter of some sort as
well as the lemon cordial!
