Spare belt / belts

Water , and lots of it ! In sept this year the Birdsville recovery truck was out of action , it was a 3 day wait if you needed...

You'll be fine, the Simpson is a pretty popular place nowadays so if anything happens you'll only be a few hours off someone else coming through in popular times.

The only advice I can give is...

Agreed with Rob above, does sound like you’re all over it Sundance mate, enjoy!
Our old man used to take us across as kids with ‘Tyre Pliers’ and spare tubes too. They packed heaps smaller than a...
