Well,
I am back from exploring
the desert for a couple of weeks. Went from
Birdsville, drove most of
the desert roads to Dalhousie,
Oodnadatta, Eringa, Old
Andado,Mt Dare,Dalhousie,
Marla,
Painted Desert. then back down the Odnadatta track to
home. What a place! Could not believe how green and colorful it was and how diverse the landscape could be. Met some fellow Exploroz members on the trip and along the way but didn't have time to catch up with everyone I wanted to but there is always a next time. Now all I have to do is catch up with what has happened on the
forum so I guess I will be reading for a while.

Welcome Back David,
We've managed to keep the CRAP flowing at a fair old rate of knots in your absence and especially now that Willie is off to the wild blue yonda.
Man, you sure did bring some crappy weather back with you though!!!! I'll be glad when this lot finds it's way to
Melbourne to stuff up David's weekend (ie: EO David is visiting that "lovely" town this weekend).
Cya mate.

Roachie, Your only grovelling to David in the vain hope he can get you a better trade in price on your old Pootrol for a new Criuser. Stop worrying about it and ring this number 8238 5555 ask for sales and just do it. LOL

G'day Des,
Yes, I probably would consider trading down to a yota, but the trouble is the yota sales people think I'm joking when I tell them I want $60K cash plus a beam axle cruiser with nissan diffs, gearbox and transfer case in exchange for my patrol. They RAOFLTAO and I'm stuffed if I can work out why??? Can you help me understand that logic???
Cya

Jeez Steve, your a bloody quick worker.........all that stuff you mentioned has arrived here today already. I'm working on getting it over to you asap and if you want to be a real nice bloke, you'll pass it on to the kiwis instead of sending it back here.......
Speaking of kiwis......I RAOFLMAO the other day when one of the "one liners" on here was:
"The Kiwi asked whether the
Canning Stock Route was an annual event".
hahahahahahahahaha

Great Stuff David,
I'm trying to talk the Missus & another couple (freinds of ours with a 4by) into the
Oodnadatta, Simpson & Strezleckie next year, I'm long odds at this stage but you never know.
I'd love a little bit more detail if you could be botherd, how'd the tyres stand up? some of the
places you camped at, I assume you went the tent option? did you have another vehicle along with you or did you go solo, any additional info you could be botherd posting would be appreciated...............(-:
Happy Days...................Browny

Browny,
Went with the LCOOl group 16 vehicles all Toyota's of course just to pee Roachie off various tyres in my opinion the best performing tyres for the sand, mud and gibbers we experienced were the Goodyear M/T's. The BFG A/t on
mine were OK but did cut up a bit with the weight I carried. If you email me off line next week I can give you a lot more info. Just got to sort everything out at work after being away 2 weeks
