Take 3 spare tyre's and you won't have a flat even after 16500km
Same goes for all the other stuff we crammed in the back.
Parts, tools recovery gear etc. etc.
Least used item. The sat phone but most valued.
For me Most used item was the Moving map/laptop (still got lost in
perth)
For SHMBO the Next G mobile phone.
Home in one piece and looking forward to our next trip.

Don't worry, Murphy is in Victoria today.
Had a flat on the ute yesterday, thought, "I rarely get flat tyres, I'll get it done friday"
i take a quick run to town for some calf feed, on the way home meet a bus so off onto the gravel I go, oh I think, that hole is big, bang, gee that hurt, the ute feels a bit strange, I stop. oh dear, tyre is a bit flat on the bottom and the rim a bit bent. mmmmm no spare. Luckily member JohnR (vic) & moses was able to pick me up.........

3000km though woop woop Victoria two weeks ago in the bullbar fitted 4by. Don't even get close to any wildlife.
First day back to work, jump in the work crummydore at 0630 and smack into a roo 5 minutes from home in suburban
Adelaide.
First time I have hit one in 32 years on the road.
