Only one more sleep & we're off on our first van trip..not the one we planned, which
was the
Pilbara via Plenty & GCR. Decided to postpone due to closures & road
conditions, mostly in Karijini NP.
Anyway,
plan B is a month via the Murray, Mallee,
Yorke Peninsula, Coorong, &
Great Ocean Rd. Some seen before, a lot will be new.
Preparations have included Trans Cooler, Stone Stomper, all serviced inc brakes
& bearings....just need to add grog & tucker. Got the childbride a laptop to play
with when she tires of knitting, so all should be good.
We are appreciative of the good advice given on EO & have acted on much of it
for this trip...keep the place tidy while we're away, wont you?
cheers.....oldbaz.

Have a great trip baz. Lots to see and do where you're headed.
BTW some up to date info for all contemplating the Plenty.
Had a mate and his cousin come across it from Alice last weekend, and he said it was in was in excellent condition, with lots of grading taking place. They were also able to get fuel at Tobermory, I am not sure if it was petrol or diesel as I didn't think to ask, but can find out if anyone wants to know.
We expect periodical reports and pics baz. stay safe, and as I said, have a great trip.
Fred
