Don't know what you'd call 'em, but there are lots and lots of 'whoop de do's' or 'corrugations on steroids' on the Madigan that'd put that young bloke to sleep, up and down and up and down ...

Plenty of spots to get a good nights sleep as well.
Ok so this is my plan after Birdsville Attachment 88009
No idea if Walkers Crossing is/will be open, but if it is, it’s a good drive from Birdsville to Innaminka. Whilst at Innaminka the best thung you can do there is drive up to Coongie Lakes for a couple of nights.Quote:

Farina Ruins is nice place to stop for a while, or it was a few years ago.
9 weeks to go!!!

Nothing set in concrete.
Ok so for those not on the messenger chat, you will need to book your desert pass online and also your camping, they require you to book a site now so when you have paid online for the pass then book your camping and use the reference number of your pass to get free camping at Dalhousie .

Guys, make sure you get the desert pass first as it also covers the cost of Dalhousie campground.
Still need to book it but no need to pay.
Fitted the winch today, runva 13xp that I had on the patrol, all up and working Attachment 88013Attachment 88012
I fitted my new washer bottle on the Gq and it didn’t work. Nightmare!Quote:

I spent a good hour diagnosing it and couldn’t work it out. Swapping washer motors etc.
I then filled the entire bottle up with water and it worked straight away.
It must need an initial pressure prime. Such a simple job and I nearly punched that new washer bottle into the 4th dimension today lol

Noticed on other threads, whilst zipping between house duties & shed Simo prep duties a few NP.com.au crossing members here might be worried about conscientious rubbish cartage [emoji3590][emoji3590]
A past life enterprise logo still attached but do have 4 available FOC for the crossing:

Suitable only for wagon rear spare tyres between 33-35”, you’ll need your own Occy/Rubber straps to secure.
Can cart the 4 x to Coober Pedy for meetup/collection, otherwise I’m beer swapping them with locals for Opal underground carry shoulder bags [emoji161][emoji736][emoji23]

Starting to plan food and packing now, happy days gents, bring it on!
I did a rough plan, simple trip really but the list grows when you start to think about it.
Yay!!!

Yes I’m looking at taking pre cooked vacuum sealed meals so I just need to pop them into hot water to warm them for night meals, 12v oven for midday snacks and fresh breakfast wraps, all in the fridge and freezer, also bringing the Cobb for the obligatory rack of lamb in the desert 😎Quote:

Upside is Lachy is super excited for a boys trip and he gets front seat the whole trip.

Going through the same scenario too Bro [emoji3590] It’s going to be all ok though [emoji736] Worst case scenario, our Little Ladies will be In-Cab crossing and their Beautiful Mothers might have to tag along in rear wheel bags [emoji161][emoji23]

I may be looking through Rose coloured glasses but I cannot remember mozzies being a problem at all?
