Well done and dusted , 6500km total 2500km on the dirt , had a absolute ball , loved everything we did and saw , Walkers crossing track was fantastic with camels and a ripper of a overnight camp , Birdsville track overnight at Mungaranni pub , great night at the pub with Phil and some local shooters , awesome night at Claytons bore soaking in the bore tub with some other travelers watching the stars , Oodnadatta trk took us 5 days including taking in the painted dessert , and checking out every siding from Maree to Marla , spent a fortune doing the rock , olgas and kings canyon ( loved the rim walk at Kings ) Alice for a few days , then on to the Plenty hwy , had a fabulous night at Gem Tree , lashed out on their camp over dinner night , they are 6th generation of the original plenty station owners , great insight into the history , and how tuff these people are , spent a few days on the Plenty getting to Tobermorey , then onto the Donahue hwy to Boulia , with the next week spent getting home 😔 only issue i had was the copper gas line into the reg on the van cracked right on the flair at the reg ( flairing tool at home ) but half a hour with a couple of punches working the pipe and good as new , no punctures ( saw lots of people with damaged tyres on the Plenty , only because they didn't listen to the local advise of don't let them down ; keep em hard and drive slower !! ) or other damage , looks like they be getting a bit of rain out that way now , which they need desperately, I'll chuck some photos up once sorted to stop sideways posting !

Awesome trip by the sounds of it, Gaddy
I second the Rim Walk comment.
Being a fat old bugger I nearly died of multiple heart attacks climbing up but it sure is something to see.
Was just thinking about this trip , while planning next years Simpson crossing ( just gotta get used to swags , and no luxury 😉) a few random pics .http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2017/12/90.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2017/12/91.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2017/12/92.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2017/12/93.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2017/12/94.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2017/12/95.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2017/12/96.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2017/12/97.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2017/12/98.jpg
