Well after a 1 day delay we are finally almost ready to head off.
HF radio is finally working and behaving itself, looks as though the issue was being caused by the control cable.
Car and trailer were packed this afternoon, tanks and jerrys filled. The woman at the servo must have thought I was crazy, diesel, LPG and unleaded.
Just have the fridge to pack tonight and the
routes to upload to the PDA for running Ozi and we are done.
I did decide on the Coleman dual fuel stove, couldnt resist at the price I got it from at BCF. Picked up a tin of the coleman fuel as
well as the unleaded so I have both just in case.
They definitely dont make cask wine bladders like they used to. Purchased a few casks 2 days ago, and just with the running around on the blacktop at home, they decided to leak. Problem solved with a number of 5 litre
water jerrys....LOL
Will attempt to post an update of the trip when we get into Alice in about 12 days time.

Yeah you could say she is happy, although looks as though she is coming down with a cold. Such is life.
Have a small funnel for the coleman, so all should be good.

Probably not on this one, as once we hit the centre we are heading north. There will however come a time we pass through your way and will definitely look you up when we do.
