camper trailer

On reflection probably a bit luck. Got snorkel after talking to a few old hands from SA and they also told me about the tarp across the front of vehicle. I will be more cautious next time.

No real problems with the bikes and dust just gave them a pressure water blast when in towns with them and a bit of WD 40 cost us $85 each bike when we got home for new brake pads and cables. Definitely worth taking bikes as they allow you to go on some great rides.

We had plenty of rain on Atherton table land and no leaks. Dust ingress was nil into the Aussie Swag, a bit in the truck on the leg Karumba to darwin but solved by adding a bit more rubber stick on strip plus a air vent on the roof to pressurise the cabin ( standard vent on boats cost $15 at yacht chandler. Only problem is packing up wet but if you camp again the same night no problems with mildew. Although the new Kimberly looks nice I could not justify the price and it would only be a propositiion if you lived in it permanently. You can buy truck & trailer for $48K on there about.

Broke my ankle in Darwin, tripped over a concrete annex pad at Big4 Berrimar, in middle of the night. Great service at Darwin hospital in xray plastered and out all in 2 hours follow up service great. Cant knock the public hospital system.

Kept me in Darwin for 8 weeks - 6 weeks in plaster then 2 weeks in the pool to get it moving again. Missed the Gibb River road as I was gorged out any way. But no problem climbing down the Karrajini Gorge and hiking in Bungle Bungles. Working as a Sports Massage Therapist and with a Homoeopath wife kept me on the right track for Rehab.
It fine now only few twinges on soft sand back riding the bike and surfing so alls well. Depending where you are in Qld I may be able to suggest a good therapist to help you get moving again.
