Hello OZ possums. Interesting topic
Fuel is as Fuel does....
Life's too short to sit
home choosing wall paint colours
Planning...........that's half the challenge & fun.
Where? what? why ? (cos it's there) should we? can we!? .....endless possibilities emerge.
It may all turn to XXXXX, but at least you're ready for the good times....when they return...& they will return.
We're currently planning a 6 weeks road cruise, ADL to
Khancoban, with a return trip following the mighty Murray to
Goolwa. Late Aug thru Oct..... easy as.
Okay not 4x4 sand munching stuff, but a bloke's got to smell the bush !!.(been there, done & enjoyed that facet of the RV/4x4 world- Simpson, GRR, Tamami,
Birdsville, Mt
Augusta,
Yorke in a'95 80 Series 'Cruiser.
Late 2020 I'd started planning a boat trip down the Murray, eventually realised it's not where I needed to be (buying a boat yudda yudda), altho many have successfully achieved it.
Last year, mid the C-19 dramas in June -July we looped around from ADL -
Broken Hill-
Tibooburra-
Innamincka-
Quilpie-
Hungerford-
St George-
Thallon-Lightening Ridge-
Cobar-B/
Hill -ADL, scraped across the SA/NSW border by the skin of our teeth b4 drawbridge crashed down. Sooooo good just to be out there.
( 1996 NP Pajero - accommodation; shearing sheds/old pubs/cabins/old rail maintenance accommodation/budget motels ) MAGIC.
I really believe you've got to "hit it & suck up any consequences" , altho that's tempered by the reality of any C-19 infection & Govt restrictions. Mitigate the risks & just do it.
1-7 July I took 2 mates in an old 'gunka '96 Merc wagon' (if it died it stayed there & we'd bus it
home or wing it
home somehow - but it survived) on a "Blokes go bush", a 1500km road cruise around SA's mid north (NOTE, put Dare's
Hill Summit in your to do list)
Hawker-
Jarvis Hill Lookout, Craddock pub,
Burra Motel,
Melrose C/park cabin, Mt Mary Hotel (gr8 tucker)
Wirrabara-Julie's Kitchen -GR8 pies!! Pt Pirie - Caputo's seafood & RSL museum.
JUST GET OUT THERE..these country towns desperately need our support no matter which state you're in.
So chasps ...start planning.
Safe travels
