3 weeks ago I thought I might do
Melbourne - Kadina SA -
Alice Springs -
Tennant Creek - Mt Isa -
Cloncurry - Charlieville -
Cunnamulla - Ningyn (something like that) -
Parkes -
Forbes - Tocumwal - Shepparton -
Melbourne.
1 hr in the planning plus two phone calls - left on Saturday 8.30am and arrived back in
Melbourne 9.30pm the following Thursday with two nights and a day stop over in
Alice Springs with my brother.
The JEEP performed flawlessly and I saw everything along the way and in between.

Actually it was 5 weeks ago.
Got a bit mixed up as I squeezed in a trip to
John (R)'s the following weekend, a Trip to see Dashing Des in
Berri SA the weeked after that, and a day trip to Orbost three days later (all in the JEEP).
Plus and 10 trip to
Perth last week ( by plane ).

axel & swmbo
have a great & safe trip ,it's guys like u that makes one a little jealous.but I'm sure the planning although a little long will pay off & i'll bet u aren't even counting the hrs.
We hope to leave
Perth heading to
Townsville, gunnbarrel /plenty, mid June then back across the savannah way to GRR , down the WA coast back to
Perth about 18 -20 wks ,but it does take some planning . we put ours onthe drawing board seriously about 8 mths ago & it seemed as if we had plenty of time up our sleeve & now it's rapidly closing in .
Again guys ENJOY ENJOY ENJOY!!!
