Dickieboy, well if it's anything to do with sports, no wonder I haven't heard of it:)
Yep, our outback is full of "characters", and I can assure you that if you're not a character when you arrive, it doesn't take long.
Some of our best characters are on this
forum, as you've probably already gathered :) (present company excepted..of course).
That's definitely not the way to enjoy the outback.
Solo travel is one way, but you do miss company after a week or so, and end up chatting to everyone.
One trip the only thing I said to anyone was "fill er up please"...and gave all the family an ear bashing when I got home.
Most here go with another vehicle for safety. I rarely do (not enough mates I guess). Plus if you look at our early
explorers most of their hassles came from not having the right people with them (A fact I've successfully emulated a time or two :(
I presume you've read a book or five about "how to" ..if not then this site has some great ones.
The only problem with remote area travel is that it will become addictive...and if in the UK then that could be a problem :)
But I reckon that if you can survive the plane flight (in cattle class) then driving our remote areas should be a breeze :))))
