Ah but Willem,
I read a detailed article once with photo's of an english tourist in the late eighties that arrived in
cairns and brought an XW falcon
sedan for $300, a steel jerry can, and a 2nd spare wheel/tyre from the wreckers.
He took his time up the OTL all the way to the tip and back without so much as a
breakdown.
I think a high percentage of our modern day drama's when travelling remotely can be attributed to our impatience. If we took the time to nurse both ourselves and our vehicles through the bush then we would both come out looking better not to mention our impact on the bush itself would be minimised.
Deadlines!! Grr!!! I can't stand them. That is why I have not worn a watch for 25 years.

p.s - sorry for the confusion with the language (cars/4wd/trucks) I don't know what to call them. Ha!
