This is my first post so if i've missed anything please let me know.
Basically my wife and I are moving from Cairns to Perth we have a Hilux diesel SR5 and will be driving across towing a small trailer with our belongings in it (big furniture has been sold.
We are planning on sticking to sealed roads and heading through inland QLD, NSW and SA eventually to Port Augusta and then over the Nullabor to Perth.
The reason for this post is that this will be the biggest drive we have ever done and my wife will be 7.5 months pregnant so I want to make sure that I have everything organised.
Questions:
The car doesn't have a bullbar do you think we should invest in one? We generally wouldn't drive before dawn or after dusk but open to suggestions.
Do you think we need to carry extra fuel?
We have 1 good spare on the car is it worth taking an extra one for the car and any for the trailer?
We need to buy a trailer can anyone suggest one (thinking a box trailer for security)
Also any thoughts on the actual trip (places to stay etc) would be very much appreciated.
Any other ideas or thoughts welcome.
