Just got home tonight from the EO Wiluna gathering
guess something went wrong with the navigation- was under 4000 km to Wiluna via Anne Beadell yet when we get home trip meter shows a total of 16,500 plus.
might have been the detour invoving the CSR, broome, Giibb River road, Mitchell plateau , bungle bungles,litchfield, darwin, kakadu, alice,west macs and the rock before finding our way back to coober pedy where we had started 7 weeks earlier.home via the hill and water filled menindee lakes. had a wonderfull trip

and the loose nuts
there the ones which came off the LH rear wheel so it could leave the vehicle while we were hopping along the corros on Kulaburu Road. the 2 trees we hit didnt improve the body work much but luckily 80 series are tough and thankfully we had spare wheel studs and eneough tech screws to hold the door shut.
bonus was that I managed to pick up a white door with electrics at a wrecker in broken hill yesterday on way home.(Came that way so I know how to get to next years gathering)

cheers
