Important thing is that we drove to the tip and back to Cairns after Nolans... ;) Can't stop a GQ even if you're stupid it turns out.
We stumbled into an Aboriginal dance festival in the gulf...
Some is taken with a GoPro, some with a Sony NEX 5R, some with a Canon Powershot something-something-old.
And again: thanks everyone! I'm happy you enjoyed it!
Thanks guys!
It's mainly footage from the last trip in winter 2014 (4 month) but also a bit from 2007 (4 month), 2010 (3 weeks) and 2013 (6 weeks) I think.
Here's my latest video from my latest trip: For everyone who goes out there and really does things. For everyone who doesn't give up. For everyone who pushes a little bit harder.

That was the one. No idea why the link didn't work.
If you still needed proof that there's no shame in getting bogged: this is Russia's main battle tank, the T90. If they can get bogged so can you.

G'day,
Rock solid 4WD and tourer! RWC, SERVICE HISTORY, 241,000KM, AWESOME CONDITION, MANY EXTRAS. All ready to go to explore the Cape, the Simpson and beyond! Reluctant sale as I'm leaving the...
G'day!
I'm reluctantly selling my GQ as I'm leaving the country soon.
It will be in Melbourne in September. Before that I can get the car to you in Alice, Coober Pedy, Port Augusta, Adelaide,...
I write this up because even though I read heaps of magazines and on the web I never came across this anywhere. It might save your engine...
A snorkel is supposed to keep the water out of your...
Thanks again FNQGU for all the tips. Was awesome to meet up and go camping. What a special spot you got there! 3 days, 2 nights long campfire is the way to go!
Does anybody else want to meet up...
Cairns -> Darwin
The Cape is pretty much planed now. The Gulf is next. What to do, what to see other than the Savanna Highway? Which side trips are worth it? And as always, are there any members who...
Looks like I've to cut my Lakefield trip short. Late wet season by the looks of it.

I bought a new roof top tent of eBay a while ago. It was at the $700 mark. It looks just like the ARBs or Ironmans; I've even checked them out on expos to see if details are different but of course...
OK, not going to drive through the Jardine River. Didn't plan to.
FNQGU: again it recommends walking some of those crossings. I reckon to take some time and wait for someone else to drive it first...
I'm soon to head up to the cape and I wonder how to cross rivers / creeks there as well as elsewhere in croc country. Usually you should walk the crossing first, but with crocs in the water? I see...

I forgot to mention (and thank you guys for the recommendations) that I had a blast in Silverton (Hotel and Mad Max museum), took a scenic flight from Rawnsley Station, enjoyed the Skytrek and the...
Made it through the Simmo safe and sound (pics are coming soon). Only needed the shovel 3 times, otherwise no worries. What a beauty! One of the best spots I've ever been to.
Binns Track / Old...
Bugger!
I'll book as soon as I know when I'll be there. Worked for Fraser last time, I hope it'll work for the Cape. I'll send you a message when we come to Cairns. Cheers mate!
I'll give...
As always thanks for the replies!
I've heard of the Skytrek before. I'll check it out.
As for camping we rather stick to free bushcamping wherever we can, especially on a long trip it saves you...
Melbourne -> Broken Hill -> Flinders Ranges
We'll leave 17 May from Melbourne. First destination will be the beautiful Flinders Ranges. Any suggestions?
G'day!
After too many years working and saving the Missus and I are finally going on the big trip we always wanted to do (since our last big trip in 2007/2008). We fell in love with the outback in...
