Hi Mark,
sounds ok. We - my friend and myself - are both german (35 and 37 years). We run a car in Australia for recreational driving around Australia. It is an old Toyota Landcruiser ex Ambulance, technically fully restored. We try to come every year since the 1994 to the Outback. This years trip - hopefully - birngs us from
Brisbane (the car is in storage there, my friend will arrive 1st September to bring it in technical order, I fly in 10th, leaving Brisi at 11th) via
Charleville to
Quilpie and
Windorah to
Birdsville. Further on to Alice and after that crossing west via
Gary Junction to
Broome. We plan to meet my wife there (
Broome) at the end of September. As my friend will go back to Germany then - I will travel with my wife the westcoast... We plan to be back in Germany for Christmas.
For your trip: I traveled that direction in 1994 from Tibo to
Birdsville via
Innamincka, followed by
Cordillo Downs (Walkers was closed). With reasonable
road conditions you can do it in two soft days (compared with you first planned day...).
You can Email me direct: Clauspeter.Schwarz@lido.net.
cheers Cepe
P.S. Do your parents know what to expect?
