Well we are just about done with the preps for the trip. We leave Saturday.
Thanks to many on this
forum, and this site generally, we are
well prepared and really looking forward to the adventure. At least I am *grin*.
So if you are going to the Flinders,
Oodnadatta Tk,
Coober Pedy, Uluru, West MacDonnells,
Chambers Pillar, Simpson D and/or
Innamincka. Phew..
...Then keep an eye out for 2 LC100's (1 Silver & 1 White) both with Aussie Swag Camper Trailers and EO Stickers. Then wave and/or say g'day.
Don't work too hard...

23 Days - Yeah I know it looks like a rush. But the trick is to get the boring bits done quickly. We have 6 Days doing over 500ks The rest are either rest days (6 of them) or average 200k days.
Total Trip is 6600ks

Our club did pretty similar trip July/August.. 500klms a day isnt much.
They suffered dodgey fuel on the way across to South Aussie!! One car towed into town...
One other car written off, he hit a cow - it was his birthday.
Enjoy yours anyway.

Gaz.....
Do I wait up at the top of my driveway, or will you drive down?
9 o'clock still good?
Did you buy "WILD TURKEY" like I asked?
Cheers
