Central Australian Trip
Hi guys,
Just home from a big loop through Central Australia and thought I'd throw up a few photos and a bit of video all together in a YouTube clip.
Besides a little issue with a blown Transmission line in the middle of the Simpson, it all went really well. The Painted Desert and Arkaroola were my favourite parts of the trip, with the Simpson experience close behind.
Between Patrols ATM. Had a beaut GU with 6.5 Chev TD. Next is a GU ute with a 4.5 litre Cummins conversion and a camper on the back.

Watched about half of it and ran out of time, but fantastic. Will be back to see it all the way through. Thanks mate.

Yep, it was a great trip. My first real effort with a camera too. Learned a lot but drove the boys nuts wanting to stop every five minutes to take photos.

Really enjoyed watching this, can't wait to do these trips once set up.
What was the full story around the transmission line and no oil, how did you overcome this?
