That's a sweet looking tank. Where did it come from? Do they do smaller units?

I was looking at making some 50L tube ones out of stainless.. Won't be till next year probably..
But that one roofy is work of art..
Pardon my ignorance, but I'm not digging through this whole thread. I may just be able to make this one! Is there a qld convoy, and what is the date they plan on leaving? I see there is double or single crossing options?
Would be good to make this trip. WIll depend solely on whether my family plans a cape trip at the same time
Cheers
Are there any kids going along on this trip? Trying to convince my wife saying there will be play mates for the 3.5 yr old and 13 month year old daughters(currently -12 months)!!!
Hi mate,
At the start there was allot of interest from QLD in the original thread. In the new thread and Poll the QLDers are a little light on, I hope a few more guys put their hand up.
I know Beneboy is heading down for it and I think Newby if he can get the time. I am meeting them in Birdsville and heading east west to the meetup. Not sure of their departure details from QLD but I think there is a QLD planning thread around somewhere.
I can't find the thread also mate but I'm in!!!!!!!
I will be traveling with my 8yo boy Zach and 3yo daughter Amelia. We will be traveling and camping in an OzTent and towing a Camper to. Birdsville on the way and leaving the camper in Birdsville for the double crossing then using the camper through the flinders rangers for a week after the crossing.
Bring the kids for sure mate, I promise I will Never give you a hard time if your being held up by the kids. This is a pretty laid back trip and it's for the Family. Short days in the car during the crossing and maybe even a rest day in the middle somewhere depending on the weather.
Going to be great
I'm in Gladstone qld
Very kid friendly and family orientated trip everyone, trying my best to bring the whole family as well.
Sorry I can't find the qld thread on m.c can a anyone direct me? Thanks
Cheers
Have thrown you a pm mate. Atm I think there is 3 vehicles in sa heading along. Being from the lower south east I'll probably hook up with the Vic boys up the border a little. But no plans have been finalised yet..
As MR said there was a huge qld interest, but not so much atm..
There will be a lot of kids.. My 2 girls will be nearly 3.5 and 2.
So plenty of families to mingle with.
What's the go with pets? Are they allowed threw the middle being a national park??
Sorry Kallen No Dogs allow in the National Park mate.
And do we still need national Parks passes?
Cheers
I'll be dragging my whole tribe(the burdens)wife and 2 kids aged 13 and 10,they love camping..when ebb had her 7th she had a choice of movies or camping and we ended up camping.her b'day is the 7th july so we hope to be at the rock for it
Yes a parks pass is need I'm pretty sure. I remember the father in-law saying $45-50 for the pass..
Yea was doubtful about the dog. That's why you have in-laws..
The Desert Parks a pass is available from the Mt Dare Hotel.
Also available from the a information Centre in Birdsville
Looking more and more like I just might make this trip! Feeling quite happy right now. I will probably do the double crossing with the qld convoy.
Also an idea, completely understand if people don't want to fork out even more cash, but as well as the meetup in the middle shirts, and stubbie coolers, why not make up some nissanpatrol.com.au sand flags? Just imagine 50 patrols flying the flag in a convoy!
Cheers
A NP sand flag is a great idea
Bloody oath. Sweet idea.
In all honesty mate this is a $3000 for some blokes. A $50 flag stubby holder and shirt outlay for a good cause is change..
But I am doing a litter to the vendors here to maybe sell some add space to make it a but cheaper.
Very true!! Prob triple that for me having to get truck upto scratch but it will be all worth it!!!!
