Cape preparation

Bw road conditions are a bit better than usual when your up there it will be dusty and dry . The fuel price for diesel is on average $1 per/ lt .As for the attractions I would need 2 pages to give you a small run down.
All the best

bypass roads are crap + 8, because last year they were worse........
stick to the telegraph track........
a few of the creek crossings still have some depth whilst the creeks which i wanted to be deep (such as gunshot) was a mere trickle....
fuel prices are pretty good.............i found ron and viv's book very good......
have a swim at fruitbat falls and watch the sharp rocks as you try to get under the waterfall.... (ouchy)......._____________________________________________

Friend back. Made it no major dramas.
Pack every thing well and tie it down, foam rubber between boxes etc
Check wheel nuts daily and any thing else that will rattle loose, because it will.
OTL all the way didn't need winch or snorkel.100 Series Landcruiser.
Fridge was great.
Leave fishing rods at home or find out how to use them properly ha ha ha. Hardly caught a thing.
Dust in door locks always causing trouble plus had to pop rivet back door lock on another 100 series as it broke off inside.
No major tyre problems.
Puna beach and twin falls not to be missed.
Biggest rip off Jardine River ferry.
