We will explor WA and NT and then go to Adelaide .We live the car somewhere in Adelaide and come back in January to drive the rest of Australia.We are accustomed to drive and live in outback we have traveled all Sahara ,Sibiria and Mongolija.I have buy Australia road&4wd atlas and I think it is a great book or do you have some better choise.
Now please can you tell me what are the top thing to see and the best off roda tours and where are the best place for the kids.

Best regards,
Boris

Hi Boris,

A few more questions:

Are you camping? Caravan parks, free camping, or motel?
What sort of things are you interested in seeing?

Do you know fuel/food prices to expect?


(and how hard is it to 'bring' your own vehicle to Australia to use?

[oncedisturbed]

Same as P4trol has already mentioned above.
There so many books / maps for various levels availabel for Aust that it will really depend on the user themselves, it sounds like you already have a fair amount of offraod driving / touring behind you already.

How long do you have to read as there are more places than I can remember to go and see in 1 state let alone all of Oz.

We just want photo's

Hi,

Yes we will mostly free camping and caravan parks.Fuel and food price I know and I'm not the first time in Australi.I was there 2001 but not in outback this is something else.Is not so hard to bring own car.I'll put the car in 20'container and send it 40 days before we coming.I'm importing the car with carnet.We are excited abaut nature and dunes.The children are crazy about wather and swiming but not near crocodiles and sharks.For now I have wish to see in WA the Pinnacles,Monkey Mia,Karijin NP,Wolfe creek crater,Horinzontal waterfalls,Broome in NT Kakadu NP,Katherine gorge,Uluru,Kings canyon,litchfield NP.Drive from Perth to Uluro on great central road.This is for now my rough plan.Now I must do detailed plan .Any suggestions are welcome.

Hi Boris,
yes mate as OD said, we in western australia would be happy to hold a meetup when you arrive so you can meet some fellow patrol owners and also you can grab some contact details if you need help with anything.

I wrote this massive essay on this thread yesterday then looked at the date joined and thought that's when you asked the question so i'll try again as I deleted it when I thought it was so old...Dagnamit......
Right something that is a must do and a lot of world travellers do is the Kimberly(top of WA)Gibb river road is a good trek although I have never done it myself,then you have the Pilbara which includes Karajini national park.These are a must do if you come this far..If you are into swimming try going to coral bay or exmouth and check out the Ningaloo reef and all of it's wonders while snorkling with your family....I'm sure there is lots more but these are a few of my favourite things......there are also a lot of greast spots that are only known to people of the area so when your here make sure you have a berr with totasl strangers and try and get all the good info,other tourist will also let you in on a few secrets as you travel.......
Last but not least.....enjoy what we aussies have to offer in our great land mate.....

You mentioned you like dunes, go check out Callcup hill (South West Australia) It's a drive you'll enjoy go in at Callcup turn right when you hit the beach, cross the Warren River can be a little soft but no probs in summer and head back inland through the Yeagarup dunes
