Hi Guys,
Firstly I would like to say that I love reading all your stories of adventure, and its inspired me to get out there and enjoy all the things you guys are.
Im 26 and me and my girlfriend are looking at throwing in our jobs, and travelling Australia for a few months and finding a place where we could live for a while. (Currently in
Melbourne). I have just bought a 60 series cruiser from my girls Dad. Its had a new motor put in it, no rust (as he is a panel beater), 2 inch lift, bull bar, winch, duel batteries, diff lock, BF AT's. Its in good nick, drives really
well, but just a bit slow which im not really concerned about. It only has a 80 litre tank which im a little worried about, beacause it drinks the diesel
Our plans include the
simpson desert, Kimberlys, and
Cape York over a year, with some casual work in between. Firstly anyone got any thought of vehicle preperation, will this old reliable cruiser make the trip? Im looking to get a second hand Long range tank, second hand fridge, and rear wheel carrier, cargo _Affordable_Storage_Drawers.aspx, and air compressor, is their anywhere I can get these second hand as Im on a budget.
My second question is what type of tent should I get, Im looking at a roof top tent, any thoughts for the touring I will be doing.
Any planning tips or advise would be great
Thanks
Tim
