All,
Mr ExploreOz - I know its not a chat page - forgive me.
Magoo here -
The XTrail is packed up and in the drive.
We leave at 7am Goldie to Coonabarabran 1st stop -
then Dubbo,
Cooma,Smiggins,
Mildura,Flinders,CooberPedy,Uluru,Alice,
Katherine,
Kakadu,Lithfield. Isa -
Gold Coast ..Wooohooo -
I wanted to thank everyone here who helped by answering my questions and contributing to my information and safety. Really great.
ExploreOz - thanks for the trek notes etc - great info.
If you are out there Aug 27- Oct 1 look out for the champagne (ha! beige) Xtrail with the crates bolted to the roof cage and give me a 'gidday'.
PS:
Space is a premium - I think a Pathy or Patrol will be the next car.
The roof cage is indespensible.
The UHF is installed and fits really
well in the hooded compartment above the glove-box.
The extra wheel is up top
The jack behind the
seat so I dont have to unpack the rear for it.
The hose spares and
tools are packed
The 25 Ltr
Water drum is comforting
The self inflatable beds take up a lot of room .....and the chairs,tent,accessories,tables,cookers,poles,
wheels,cool-box,food,
water drums.
Thought I had it done and then we realised the cloths weren't in yet - aww- who needs em... we do acording to everyone else haha.
blah blah - you get the picture -you probably all have done it before.
No cargo barrier is a bit of a concern - extra care there.
Magoo (Brian) out.
