They reckon water will be around for a while yet. You could see it had receded a bit at
Bedourie but there is still plenty flowing down into the lake.
I beleive a sailing regatta is being arranged for some time in June, so it sounds like it will be around for a while yet.
The trip was organised through Great Divide Tours, it was a bit under $2k and all food, flying and accom was included.
In regard to swapping from the Patrol, basically I needed something with more payload that would last for at least the next 10 years. After many trips the rear spring mounts tore from the chasis about the same time the lease finished up.
At the time it was better to change vehicles rather. I can't say enough good things about the Troopy, my girlfriend and I love it.
There is a fair bit more room behind the second row of seats in the Troopy compared to the Patrol.
