Fantastic trip, special mention to the following;
Mudrunner- for organising this great trip,
Mudrunner Jnr- for keeping Boogs entertained
Lover boys- you know why
Rossco and Nicole, for helping Boogs with her homework
Snicko and Nev- for opening your home and shed to us
Stropp- for fixing my sand flag
Roofy and Jane-O, for just being you
6203 Kms, 4 weeks, 1 speeding ticket, avg 14L/100.
Overnight stops, Near Mildura, Peterborough, Marree, Oodnadatta, Mt Dare, Old Andado, Dalhousie Springs, Desert, Birdsville, The dig tree, Cameron Corner, Farina,Parachilna Gorge, Port Lincoln, Some shonky town near Adelaide, Warracknabeal, Dunolly, Home.
Katrol had no break downs, the 60 only had a power steering leak and broke a driving light bracket due to stupid corrugations, and the clutch fell out near Melb
Snicko covered pretty much everything, so I'll just try to post some different pics.


NO, dear. You can not have a train

Details, details. Its the Strezlecki Track. After leaving Cameron corner heading to Farina. I waited forever to get this shot as he was sitting in the grass. Eventually had to encourage him to take to the air.
