Nice. Thats on my bucket list when I manage to scrounge up enough time off work.

Had to cut our Desert Adventure short unfortunately, just pulled up safely at home. Control rings have finally given up, cannot complain, was a truly awesome 3 days / 2 nights covering some good miles with the Littlen and I knew this day for the 27 year old TD42 was coming [emoji120][emoji106]

Day 2 - Completed the Upper Border Track, sort of, we got a little lost and didn’t want to pass through Private Farmlands so made a SA highway dash down to Pinaroo for diesel top up before spending the afternoon on the Fun part of Border Track:

Day 3 - Uncovered the excessive blowby on the poor old motor so we made an Easterly dash across the base of Big Desert, was very picturesque and a shame we couldn’t head back up into the Mallee for another night/day:

A decent camp found down at Broken Bucket, plenty of space for larger convoys:

Border track and red bluff - how good! Some amazing views out there that pics can't do justice. Nice one mate, shame you had to cut it short.
Definitely got the Desert bug back in the system again Plassy Mate [emoji120][emoji736] Unfortunately didn’t take too many piccies but it’s honestly about the Open Spaces ‘Vibe’ agreed that they never capture anyway.
Red Bluff Camp is Fantastic, if you late afternoon nod off around your campfire and startle you’d swear you’re in the Red Northern Territory except your back is freezing instead of sweating [emoji29][emoji23]
