    Oh yeah, 4 cars. 3 toyota's (with a little "t") and 1 mother of a nissan (mine) ha ha
    7 flat tyres, all due to tyre pressure too high - I told them!! Me, unscathed, except where some fire wood slipped through the roof rack and wore paint to the metal. So pretty good i reckon, as the roads were in horendous condition into and out of Mt Dare.
    Thanks for looking.

    Great Blog Tim.. I'm looking at planning a trip with the misses in Sept. It's solo for the moment and this is some great info and real time references. Looks like you guys/gals had an awesome time.

    Well done..

    Can't wait for next years simmo trip
    Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward.
    Whoever cannot take care of themselves without that law is both.
    For a wounded man shall say to his assailant,
    'If I live, I will kill you. If I die, You are forgiven.'
    Such is the rule of honour.
